Auschwitz Anywhere features 10 black and white, digitally shot photographs which cast an ambiguous view of the Nazi concentration camps where over a million people were killed during WWII. The photographs attempt to capture the heavy mood of the surroundings, and without knowing the context and history of the locations could easily have been shot at any railway siding, or collection of utilitarian buildings.
The exhibition runs from January 21st until February 3rd and editioned prints of the photographs are available for sale for £70 with 30% of all profits going directly to Amnesty International. The images can also be viewed and prints bought from www.auschwitzanywhere.com.
