Dave Clarke’s Debut Photography Exhibition at Leica Gallery
This autumn, Leica Gallery Amsterdam proudly presents the debut solo photography exhibition of world-renowned techno DJ, producer, and photographer, Dave Clarke. Best known as “The Baron of Techno,” Clarke has spent decades shaping the electronic music scene, but now turns his creative vision to the art of photography in In the Shatter Light. The exhibition showcases Clarke’s striking monochrome photography, featuring landscapes, portraiture, and architectural imagery. A significant part of the collection includes photos taken in Iceland, a place Clarke has visited for over 20 years, which also inspired his latest album. His portrait work delves deep into the psyche of his subjects, while his architectural shots reveal his fascination with design and its interaction with the environment.
A Visual Exploration Rooted in Music and Emotion
Having had his work previously featured on the covers of Billboard Italia and other publications, In the Shatter Light marks Clarke’s first solo exhibition and highlights the synergy between his musical and visual artistry. A passionate photographer for many years, Clarke has honed his craft as a self-taught artist, capturing moments on his Leica camera during his touring life. Influenced by renowned photographers like Francesca Woodman, Sarah Moon, and Saul Leiter, Clarke’s work embodies a profound blend of the ethereal and the architectural. For him, photography is not just a medium but a way to “slow down time,” offering a new perspective beyond the world of music.
