Gergő Borbás presents a subjective guided tour of Margaret Watkins’ exhibition, Black Light

“Born in Hamilton, Ontario, brought up on pictures and music… I adore cheese and do my own carpentering!”
Margaret Watkins, 15 June 1923
In this subjective guided tour I would like to explore, together with the audience, Margaret Watkins’ interesting life through her hidden legacy. Watkins was the one who found art in advertising photography, and her work continues to influence current trends in the industry. And yet, she has remained unknown to wider audiences, until now. In my tour I would like to find new horizons and widen our perspectives to understand what influenced Watkins’ work from the world around and inside her.
