Arrivals and Departures
July 16–August 28, 2015

Reception
Thursday, July 16, 5:00–8:00 pm

Yossi Milo Gallery is pleased to present Arrivals and Departures, a series of photographs by Danish artist Jacob Aue Sobol, taken along the course of the Trans-Siberian Railway. The exhibition of nearly sixty 20” x 24” gelatin silver prints from the artist’s most recent body of work will open on Thursday, July 16, and close on Friday, August 28 with a reception for the artist on Thursday, July 16, 5:00 – 8:00 pm. This is the artist’s second exhibition at the gallery.

Arrivals and Departures chronicles Jacob Aue Sobol’s travels across the Asian continent by train during 2012-2014, with stops in Moscow, Russia; Ulan Batar, Mongolia and Beijing, China, and numerous rural communities along the way. During three separate month-long trips, Sobol photographed the changing landscape from his window seat, as well as encounters with inhabitants of the locations where he disembarked. Using the camera as a tool to create contact, closeness and intimacy, Sobol’s approach to photography is personal. His voyage along the Trans-Siberian Railway was, he says “an investigation of the emotional states that control us, inspire us, and keep us moving.” The images capture life’s complexities: people, places and the relationships between them.
