What's on at The Hop

‘Silentium’. Latin, silence, quiet, quietness, stillness, repose.

An exhibition of photgraphic images curated around the more contemplative moments in life...

Images that pull you in for a second, more considered look, take your time, breath slowly, and let each piece draw you in.

Gideon Liddiard is a Swindon-based event and portrait photographer, who also works on promotional and product photography. His passion for photography started as a creative outlet in the early 90s and has grown ever since. In addition to working for commercial clients, Gideon is the lead photographer for the Swindon-based magazine 'Pig Hill', and regularly exhibits his work. He regularly collaborates with artists in other media in joint exhibitions and MA projects.

"I believe that every image should tell its own story, engaging the viewer to want to know more about the subject and the story behind it" Gideon Liddiard

Silentium is held in The Little Hop Gallery, the smaller of the two exhibition spaces at The Hop Inn, located at the lower end of the pub.
