I managed to catch this fantastic exhibition at the Royal Photographic Society HQ in Bristol on it’s last day. Sugar Paper Theories sees Bristol based photographer Jack Latham, immerse himself in the most controversial murder investigation in Icelandic history, the Guðmundur and Geirfinnur case. From meeting key protagonists to locating and photographing key sites of the investigation, the project brings together original photographs with a range of archival and documentary materials to explore the fundamental relationship between photography and truth.

The exhibition featured a selection of the body of work and left you wanting more. Not only more imagery but the exhibition left you wanting to learn more about the case. The choice of using Latham’s own work alongside the photography from the case archive work extremely well, giving the view a sense of the place and time. The text and wall vinyls that went with the images gave a good account of the case without being too wordy or overly pretentious. Overall well worth the visit, great photos and well hung.
