‘Under Everything’ is a collection of 10 photographic portraits of the natural world by artist-photographer Daniel Ginsburg. After exhibiting the pieces in a virtual show with the Turner Contemporary, Ginsburg now brings them to Oxford for us to see in person. Ginsburg’s work takes us on a journey in text and image through a familiar urban landscape in pursuit of a reconnection with the natural world. These intimate portraits of weeds flourishing against the odds have been layered during the developing process with plant material, leaving marks and imprints which obfuscate the images and layer them with meaning. The result of a multispecies collaboration, these vegetal apparitions become images of eldritch entanglement: both threatened and a threat, either hopeful visions of the future or ghosts of a damaged present.

Under Everything will be on display in the #WindowGalleries along Friars Entry in Oxford, OX1 2BZ from Monday 11th April until the end of the month, free and available to visit at any time.

The #WindowGalleries are an innovative collaboration between community organisation Fusion Arts and The Randolph Hotel by Graduate Hotels that connects and supports Oxford’s communities by creating a lively space for the public to experience inspiring work by local artists.
