Exhibition zine for Peripheral Vision
When we look at photographs, attention usually settles on what is visible in the frame. Peripheral Vision asks a more practical question: what relationships had to exist for these images to come into being?
The four photographers in this exhibition work through duration. Their images are made through repeated return: to places, to people, to gestures, to situations that only reveal themselves through sustained presence. What is visible here carries the weight of time spent in contact — negotiation, care, friction, and commitment.
Maria Meco’s photographs grow out of her impression of and sensitivity towards cultivated gardens shaped by human and non-human collaboration, attending to their cycles and dependencies.
Gabrielė Žukauskaitė photographs from within lived processes of migration and (re)settlement. Her work dwells on thresholds—between arrival and familiarity, presence and distance—tracing how places gradually reorganise perception when you stay long enough to become shaped by them.
Polly Hardwicke's images emerge from extended relational closeness. They are formed through consent, exposure, and mutual endurance, allowing bodies to appear without performance or display.
Viviana Almas returns to gestures, symbols, and materials until images accumulate ceremonial weight. What appears staged is enacted; what feels symbolic has been lived.
Across the exhibition, photography functions less as capture and more as consequence. These works are shaped by how attention is sustained, how proximity is negotiated, and how observing becomes a practice embedded in lived experience and its material traces.
