The exhibition highlights the work of 40 photojournalists, focusing on themes such as the environment, exile, and crises.

Taste Contemporary is pleased to present Altered States; a two-person exhibition featuring the work of Belgian ceramic artist Anne Marie Laureys and Italian fine art photographer Costanza Gastaldi. In this exhibition, ideas within both practices are brought into dialogue with each other as each artist invites us into a space where forms are fluid, unstable, and metamorphic. Sculptures and images appear still, yet remain intensely alive, as we enter a world where matter is shifting, dissolving, and is perpetually remade. Anne Marie Laureys’ vessels are recognizable and strange at the same time. Like nocturnal visions, Costanza Gastaldi images exist in a place where the boundaries between perception, sensation and memory dissolve.
Opening: Thursday 13 November, 18:00 – 21:00

Opening: Thursday 13 November, 18:00 – 21:00
