Place & Being brings together the work of 15 photographers based in Mexico and the United Kingdom. Using the medium of photography, a visual dialogue has been created which aims to promote cultural diversity between these two nations. The project brings together ideas concerned with the way individuals develop and engage with their environment.
The project demonstrates a range of different photographic approaches. Often highly personal, selected work includes an exploration of the mysteries of science and space, and an analysis of the dynamics between subjects, objects and economies. The contrast between these visual discourses invites the viewer to engage in imaginary dialogues.
This cultural and artistic exchange operates as a way of encouraging links between institutions, the public at large and between nations. The aim is to build bridges which enhance both artists’ and the viewer’s perception of photography.
