Chris Killip, Retrospective – Baltic

April 1, 8:00 am - September 3, 5:00 pm

Free
Black and white photo by photographer Chris Killip. A man stands with his young son sitting on his shoulders. Both of them look into the distance at something with curious expressions on their faces.

Chris Killip was one of the most influential post-war documentary photographers.

This full career retrospective showcases his work, with his images of the North East at the core. His photographs depict the lives of those affected by economic shifts throughout the ’70s and ‘8os in a way that is stark yet tender.

Killip immersed himself in the communities that he photographed, so his images reflect the value of the lives he grew close to and the effect of the environment around them.
