First exhibited in Tokyo in 1979, Kohei Yoshiyuki’s (Japan, b. 1946) twin projects 'The Park' and 'Love Hotel' ignited furious debate about photography’s relationship with voyeurism and surveillance.
In The Park, as observer, and with his camera loaded with infrared flashbulbs and film, he photographed in three different Tokyo parks over several years. The resulting body of work captures heterosexual and homosexual couples engaged in sexual activity, and the peeping toms who stalked them.

In this hands-on masterclass, delivered in partnership with Redeye and Open Eye, Kenny will guide participants through the camera-less art of the photogram, giving people the opportunity to create their own unique images using darkroom processes.
Developed over the last thirty-five years, Paul Kenny’s exquisite images have evolved through a range of camera-less techniques. With an increasing move towards abstraction, Kenny’s work focuses on awe-inspiring details of the landscape, addressing ideas of fragility, beauty and transience.

Still Outside (or Unexplained) presents four artists, from the UK, France and Switzerland.
They share common ground, closely observing and reworking parts of their environments that might otherwise be unseen or neglected. Using still and moving images, they question what we see as natural and artificial, and what we think we know about the world around us.

Open Eye Gallery presents a selection of eighteen photographs of Wurm's earliest One Minute Sculptures, made in the late 1990s.
Since the late 1990s Wurm has been developing One Minute Sculptures, an ongoing series in which we see the artist or his models pose in spontaneous ways with everyday items, inserting pencils in ears, propping chairs on eyes, and bringing a host of inanimate objects to life.
