@reelartpress , On Instagram serves as a compendium of Hurn's Instagram posts across seven years, containing advice, recommendations and musings accompanied by their corresponding images. Since 2016, Hurn has casually shared thoughts and wisdom in the captions of his Instagram posts, developing them into streams of commentary and reflections on photographs he has taken over his nearly seven-decade career.
Ranging from posts that provide inspiration and recommendations to those that respond to AI and emerging technology, with images that span from the Hungarian Revolution to The Beatles, Hurn’s Instagram presence has unfolded as a contemplative diary, shedding light on his practice and personality.
