In Grain We Trust Vol. 1 marks the highly anticipated second exhibit by Gabriel Spangler here on D’Arblay Street, offering a compelling exploration of analogue photography’s enduring allure. Shot entirely on 35mm film, the collection embraces the intrinsic beauty of film grain—not as an imperfection but as a core element of the medium’s aesthetic and emotional depth.
Each image transforms grain into a storytelling device, weaving texture, nostalgia, and intimacy into every frame. The exhibit invites viewers to reflect on the tactile, organic qualities of film, celebrating its capacity to evoke mood, memory, and moments that digital precision often overlooks.
Spangler’s work challenges us to reconsider the way we see and value imperfection in art, making this a must-see event for lovers of analogue photography and the enduring magic of film.
