Amongst the artists exhibiting are some pretty interesting names:Elegia: The Scottish-born, self-taught photographer focuses on the female body, often in unflinching self-portraits. She also plays with the unpredictable nature of Impossible film.Alison Mosshart: One half of famed band The Kills, Mosshart has been shooting Polaroid-type film since she was a child. Her eight pieces focus on her diaristic observations of road trips and her home in LA.Scout Willis: Artist and daughter of actors Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, Willis found fame as the most public activist of the U.S.-based feminist campaign, ‘Free The Nipple’. She explores intimacy and youthful sexuality in her eight images.Chuck Grant: Grant describes her sister, singer/songwriter Lana Del Rey, as her muse. Her work has been featured in The New York Times and Complex.Kate Bellm: Nomadic fashion photographer Bellm’s work celebrates the youth and sexual freedom. Using rich colors, her eight works span the globe, from Tokyo and New Zealand to her home in Deià, Spain.Paulina Surys: Sury’s work involves the physical manipulation and collage of analogue instant photographs. The baroque, almost mythical nature of her work derives from her formal training as a fine art painter.Andrew Millar: Northampton-born Millar has developed a style that is a haunting mix of reality and fantasy. His eight pieces feature, among other things, tiger-headed women and menacing sharks.Oliver Blohm: Berlin-based fashion and portrait photographer Blohm has pushed the technical durability of Impossible film to the limit. A previous show of his focused on instant images that had been microwaved, and partly melted or burned.https://youtu.be/cBYtXg4KfaI
