Angela Chalmers’ Adam and Eve reimagines the biblical story of creation through a contemporary lens. Eve emerges as an archetype of the Earth Mother — a goddess symbolising fertility, abundance, and renewal. Together, Adam and Eve become more than mythological figures: they reflect shared human experiences, capturing the fragile balances of love, friendship, and conflict that unite us all.
Tom Hunter’s Prayer Places is a series of images made in the East End of London over the last 20 years, documenting the variety and complexities of different buildings devoted to faith, religion and prayer. All the images have been made with a large-format pinhole film camera, evoking the spiritual nature of these sacred spaces using exposures as long as an hour, giving the images a mystical, unearthly quality. Tom Hunter takes us on a magical journey through the cultures and peoples of his native East End, giving us insights into mosques, synagogues, chapels, churches, temples and shrines, to reveal the hidden gems that enrich this culturally rich and diverse landscape.
