The 6 o’clock in Siena is a solo exhibition of new work by Isabelle Young (b. 1989).
Young’s photographs of the Palio di Siena capture Italy’s most extraordinary horse racing event, famous for its skulduggery as much as its medieval pageantry, in its overlooked moments of quiet and shadow. An incisive observer of casual and accidental intimacies in public spaces, and drawing on the documentary and monochrome traditions of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Eugène Atget, Young’s photographs offer a route forward for contemporary photography by looking to the past.
