By Night, an exhibition exploring the night as a sanctuary for new ideas and creativity. In the twilight zone between dusk and dawn the barrier between the acceptable and the forbidden is indistinct. The norm is bent to innovation.
Ten contemporary photographers from around the world are united, each with a picture off the night as a source of inspiration for extraordinary meetings, abandoned street corners and rediscovered moments.
