The Old Ambulance Depot, Edinburgh
Through the Looking Glass, Dimly. Both artists will showcase recent and new photographs many of which have never been seen before in Scotland. Showing as part of the Edinburgh Art Festival.
Contemporary Art Exchange presents an international collaboration between photographers Andrew Follows and Rosita McKenzie, who are based in Melbourne and Edinburgh respectively.
Both artists will showcase recent and new photographs many of which have never been seen before in Scotland. Bringing two very different approaches to photography, Follows and McKenzie are drawn together by their experiences of visual impairment, their capturing of night-scapes and the effects of fire on the natural environment. Follows and McKenzie present an array of intriguing and fascinating images of the everyday from opposing hemispheres. Together, they challenge the notion of sight, perception and knowing and question the presumed role vision plays within creating contemporary art.
