The photographer returns to his roots with 'Idyllic Space” on view through December 1.

His work has since been featured in art and photography exhibitions worldwide: Gagosian in London, International Center of Photography in New York City, and Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam, to name a few. His first solo show in Germany, “I Wish This Was Realis currently on view at C/O Berlin and runs through September.
was born. Mitchell worked closely with Rooks and curator Maria L. Kelly to choose the works of his that evoke the South most effectively. “In essence, it’s an exhibition about the place and the community in which it is staged,” he added. Mitchell’s works often examine the way Black lives interact with nature and the spaces around them. For “Idyllic Space”
that meant “visualizing what a Black utopia looks like or could look like,” Mitchell explained. “I use the word ‘utopia’ as a provocation and a question to audiences. An ‘unreachable perfect’ is inherent in the definition of utopia. I’m more interested in representing temporary moments of bliss, transcendence, and repose. I invite viewers to visualize their own versions of utopia. It becomes a concept shaped in one’s mind’s eye.” Here, a look inside the show.
