The works in this show are ostensibly about connections, similarities, differences and ultimately ‘foreign’ places. Across global cities there exists a readable narrative in which similarities form a point of connection which spans geographical distance. Our excitement on travelling to these places is often marred by an unnerving feeling of having been there before..
