For more people than ever before, home is a moveable concept, stuck somewhere between a dream and a memory. It is this feeling that Seba Kurtis, a young Argentinean photographer, brings to his work on immigrants, negotiating the treacherous seas between Africa and Europe or traversing the lawless borders between Mexico and the United States. His unorthodox, multi-layered photographs are a product of his own shifting experience as a stateless individual. Kurtis uses experimental techniques and operates at the boundaries of image-making to assert both the unreliability of representation and the transient nature of experience. |

| Upcoming Events 3 July, 6.30pm Eugene Richards Talk Photographer Eugene Richards is at HOST gallery on Friday 3 July to speak about his new work, The Blue Room, in an exclusive London date. Born in Dorchester, Massachusetts, Eugene Richards studied photography under Minor White. His first book, the self-published Dorchester Days became the catalyst for his joining of Magnum Photos as he continued his editorial work often based around social issues, drug abuse and the American family. His most recent publication, The Blue Room, is a study of abandoned homes in rural America. Richards travelled around the American landscape for over three years, looking into these forgotten residences. His resulting sequence of colour photos are a homage to the mystery and beauty of these places. £5 foto8 members £8 all others Please email rsvp[at]hostgallery[dot]co.uk to reserve your place at this event 24 July, 6.30pm The 2009 Foto8 Summer Show Opening Night Party Tickets now available for the Summer Show opening night party, this year featuring DJs, food stalls and over 100 photographs to browse and purcahse.
