Event Details
Isabelle Young: Venice As I Was
Event description
Isabelle Young (b. 1989, London) is a British photographer whose work explores architectural spaces and unresolved narratives. Her subjects are architectural interiors, still lives and quiet moments often devoid of people, yet with a sense they have only just departed. The exhibition coincides with the opening of the 61st Venice Biennale and Photo London 2026.
Young received her MA in Photography from the Royal College of Art in 2022. She has exhibited internationally, including solo exhibitions at Galerie Fabian Lang, Zürich; Canopy Collections, London; SOCO Gallery, Charlotte NC, USA and Cedric Bardawil Gallery, London. Her work is held in notable collections including the Credit Suisse Collection; Museo Casa Mollino, and private collections in Europe and the UK.
"Young’s Venice is both elegy and diary. The city appears suspended at the threshold of submergence, its surfaces holding traces of what has already passed while also prefiguring its fated future. Venice is both shielded and already defeated.”
- Alona Pardo, Director of the Arts Council Collection
