Auctioneer and art world impresario Simon de Pury sits down with friend and cultural patron Daphne Guinness to speak about connoisseurship and collecting in part one of a double-bill feature by filmmaker Johnnie Shand Kydd.

“Simon is obviously a grand seducer, and there was this wonderful element of flirtation going on,” says Shand Kydd of the tète-à-tète, “You can't fake that kind of chemistry."

Watch the video on NOWNESS.

Part two, Tell Me Daphne, is available here.

Johnnie Shand Kydd is well known for his portraits of infamous friends, but ten years ago he set out on an all together different project – to photograph the streets of Naples, capturing the corruption and drama, the traditions and cultures, that unfold around each street corner.  “Every street and piazza is a stage, with the neapolitan people responding to the camera lens in a very unique way.”For this special talk the legendary documentary photographer will be talking about his latest work and signing copies of his beautiful book Siren City, published by Other Criteria.

The talk is FREE with the purchase of any book on the night, or £5 per person.

Spaces are allocated on a first to reply basis and must be saved in advance by emailing lydia.fulton@mac.com

Johnnie Shand Kydd’s photography of Naples reaches the UK for the first time this summer at the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art in London from 1st July – 12th September 2010.

Also Johnnie Shand Kydd will be at the Estorick Collection on Tuesday 20 July to discuss with writer and broadcaster Tim Marlow his work and the experiences in Naples that led to the exhibition.
