  • Catalogue Essay

    Leonora Hamill, the 2012 winner of the Prix HSBC pour la Photographie, captured this image of a painting studio at the Academy of Fine Art in Krakow, Poland during the first of many trips for her acclaimed series Art in Progress. Over a three-year period, Hamill visited art schools across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas and used her large-format 4 x 5 field camera to photograph the studios where the students worked. Despite their physical absence, the students remain present in the objects they have engaged with and the works they are in the process of making.
