The director of The Photographers’ Gallery chooses her favourite picture from Photo London.

MR PORTER has teamed up with Photo London to ask some experts from the world of photography – as well as some enthusiasts from our own team – to select their favourite image from the fair. Read about the photograph chosen by Ms Brett Rogers, director of The Photographers’ Gallery, below.

Ms Rogers was awarded an OBE for the way she has led The Photographers’ Gallery, the publicly funded institution that remains London’s primary space dedicated to contemporary photography. She chooses an image from the series Cargo (Weapon) by Mr Thomas Kuijpers, in which the 32-year-old Dutch photographer uses found and archival photography to explore societal fears of terrorism.

“Thomas Kuijpers believes there are already too many images in the world,” says Ms Rogers. “We don’t need to produce any more, but instead edit the material out there. He collects images from our mediated environment and translates his findings into conceptual artwork. He slows us down and asks us to think about our image culture in a more critical fashion. It makes him very relevant and very meaningful.”

Photo London is at Somerset House from 17 to 20 May
