New views of the Chapel

A photography exhibition at the King's Art Centre will show the Chapel from startling new angles. The photographs are by Tony Eva, who calls his exhibition '36 views of King’s College Chapel' in homage to Hokusai's ' Thirty Six Views of Mount Fuji'.

Like Hokusai, Tony Eva has created images of a famous landmark from unusual viewpoints. We see the Chapel reflected in a window or a puddle, or on a CCTV monitor in the basement of the Guildhall.

Eva's photos are accompanied by haikus by Graham High, and the exhibition is curated by King's Fellow Dr Ken Moody. The exhibition runs 17-29 October in the Art Centre and is open from 11am to 5pm daily. Follow the signs from the front of the College or enquire at the Porters' Lodge. For more forthcoming exhibitions at King's, see the Art Centre page.

The photos have been published in a book - 36 views of King’s College Chapel - to mark the 500th anniversary of the bequest of King Henry VII in 1509 which enabled the completion of the Chapel. In 1509 the Chapel still had no corner turrets, roof or windows. The book costs £12.99 and you can buy it from the Shop at King’s on King's Parade, Cambridge.
