Beyond Eden: Polixeni Papapetrou features work from three series, Lost Psyche (2014), It's all about me (2016) and Eden (2016) and explores the challenging spaces of childhood identity and representation. In this beautiful and haunting exhibition Papapetrou traverses the transitional stages of life in early adulthood.
Glamour stakes: Martin Parr presents images of horse racing events from Parr's Luxury series. While creating this series, Parr photographed what he describes as 'situations where people are comfortable showing off their wealth'. The images document leisure and consumption and highlight the unintentional, awkward and often ugly sides of beauty, fashion and wealth.
Dutch masters of light: Hendrik Kerstens and Erwin Olaf features work by two internationally acclaimed Dutch photographers. Inspired by the moody manipulation of light and shadow that characterises the paintings of Dutch masters such as Rembrandt and Vermeer, these photographers create emotionally charged portraits that draw attention to the liminal nature of contemporary life.
