The Things You Cannot See: Photography of Mark Raphael Baker
Mark Raphael Baker (1959-2023), renowned historian, teacher, and writer, is celebrated for his lifelong commitment to bearing witness and exploring humanity. This exhibition of photography, exhibited for the first time, showcases a vital extension of this lifelong commitment to bearing witness and exploring humanity.
Baker’s photographs span countries, cultures and decades, offering intimate glimpses into everyday life, emotions and relationships. The Things You Cannot See explores both the seen and unseen and invites a deeper understanding of the shared human experience.
The title of the exhibition The Things You Cannot See refers to what once stood and what is no longer before you. There were three layers to Mark’s understanding of witnessing: what you can see before you, what you cannot see and a mixture of both the seen and unseen. Mark captured this insight through the lens of his camera.
