Zhao Renhui, The Blind, The Institute of Critical Zoologists, 2007

Zhao Renhui, Torijon Grasslands, 2008
This issue features Zhao Renhui’s intriguing and ironic series The Blind, a critique of scientific depiction of animal and human difference. Aiming to straddle truth and fiction, The Blind involves an ‘invisible’ cloak developed by zoologists for the purpose of viewing animals. The work challenges how we observe nature and notions of truth and objectivity in both science and photography.

Gayle Chong Kwan, Les Précieuses
Sze Tsung Leong’s series Horizons depicts expansive views of a broad spectrum of environments throughout the world, distant in geography and diverse in subject matter. Placed side by side, the images form an extended landscape and reflect the complex and perpetually transforming relationships between regions, cultures and nations. Gayle Chong Kwan continues her two-year critique of ‘The Grand Tour’, an exploration of tourism, master planning, waste and landscape traditions within fine art. In Les Précieuses she highlights abandoned remains of food in the Streets of Paris, which are then carefully collected and dried before being reconstituted as a ruined cityscape in a second series, Paris Remains.

Veronica Bailey, Hours of Devotion, 2008
Veronica Bailey’s Hours of Devotion is an exploration of the library of philanthropist Angela Burdett-Coutts, established in the early 19th century to improve the welfare and conditions of employees at Coutts & Co., one of London’s oldest and most prestigious banks. The series presents a portrait of the literary, political, social and religious aspirations and concerns of a metropolitan middle-class. Trish Morrissey’s new series Front continues her practice of appearing in her own photographs. This group of performative collaborations, produced at beaches in England, explore the family unit and how we are seen by others. Stella Santacatterina introduces the work of Italian artist Guendalina Salini, who trained in London, in a discussion of her video installations, photographs and films.
