		<description><![CDATA[Steve Sabella's In Exile is an attempt to reconstruct an identity which he felt deconstructed by the political situation in his former home town, Jerusalem. We sense the loss of the home, a confusion of not really belonging anywhere, of being suspended between cultures, of a bewildering multitude of perspectives that present themselves as possible ways of living. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ The people in these images are cycling on a long and straight daily commuter route. Typically, when we cycle we’re disconnected from the world around us: we dream and ponder whilst mechanically driving along a familiar, somewhat mundane path. Submerged into an 'absorptive mode', people's expressions depict themselves in an honest way – unposed, unconcerned and unaware of either the photographer or the camera.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Romania and Bulgaria joined the European Union in 2007. This resulted in several benefits for all parties concerned. Borders were opened and free travel between member states became possible. However, living standards and minority rights are below average in some new member States. As some Romanian gypsies have to endure harsh conditions in their country of origin, they use their right to search for happiness and opportunities in Belgium, only to find themselves in equally degrading circumstances.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I started mainly as a documentary photographer. Since then I am shifting slowly towards a more subliminal use of photography: using it as a medium of reflection. Colour, composition and light are very important, as is the slowness of the images of my recent work. Therefore, nowadays I use a medium format camera with negatives. Some people like the silence in my work. Some people say I am making a synthetisation of the German school dead pan photography and a more narrative and especially surreal touch.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I began taking photographs when I was a young soldier and at a time when I knew little about photography. I just had this urge to document what was going on around me.

I have now been out of the British Army over 15 years, but it is an area that still dominates my photographic practice and my imagination.

As part of this ongoing interest I have chosen to document the after-effects of conflict and the knock-on consequences back home in the UK.

From severe injuries of war to the problems of homelessness and social exclusion, I hope that this work questions notion of what it means to enlist to serve ones country, and what is left for servicemen at the end of this dangerous and altruistic act.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I enjoy making lo-fi props out of inexpensive materials, generally card and poster paint, taking something cheap and readily available like cardboard and transforming it into loud brightly coloured backdrops that can be easily carried from place to place.

In this series I have tried to paint patterns or make shapes that would encourage the participant to hold themselves or act in a certain way. It is important that all the props and text are in the shot so that the subject can interact with them.

The cardboard acts as cartoon-like element exaggerating the things that are already there, making the invisible visible or just simply transforming an everyday setting into a DIY fantasy world.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Shafran’s work is characterised by the quiet observation of everyday life. His chosen subject matter is deliberately low-key and often domestic in nature: the washing up, his Dad’s office, charity shops, car boot sales. And yet, his work extracts something profound and consistently beautiful, the sense of a natural order in ordinary things, or, as Shafran says ‘an acceptance of how things are’ (source: Steidl).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Chaology. This series grew from a fascination with the visual power of the photographed explosion. These silent and still forms are created from images of explosions caught at a point of expansion. Source material includes the received images from Hiroshima, nuclear tests, the space shuttle disaster, burning oil and white phosphorus bombs. The sculptural forms are created from cotton wool, talcum powder, paint and pipe cleaners.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this stark body of work Harry Watts hopes to literally strip away the glamorous and illusional. The studio space is potentially, yet invisibly occupied by objects which exist only as a aid to the visual creation, rather than meant to be seen as themselves. Created and coated in grey light absorbing materials these objects stand mono-chromic in a empty person-less studio.]]></description>
