SHARKS IN A
FADING LIGHT
An exhibition of images by Andy Murch
The Sharks in a Fading
Light / Predators in Peril
Exhibition focuses on the public’s changing perception of sharks and
their uncertain future in an increasingly hostile ocean.
An exhibition in two
parts:
Sharks in a Fading Light
The first series of images portray sharks as iconic
predators; powerful, daunting and majestic. The setting sun comments on
the end of an era as the hysteria that surrounded sharks in the late
20th century is slowly replaced by respect and appreciation.
Predators in Peril
The second series of images focuses on the innate beauty and
grace of sharks and explores their extraordinary diversity. This
collection also includes images that draw attention to the vulnerability
of sharks and the fragile position of many species due to over-fishing
and habitat destruction.
