Double Photography Exhibition:

Why Are You Looking At Me Like That When I Haven't Done Anything Bad Yet? by Stephen Rusk

&

Intimate Universe by Nadja Massün

Art / Fri 7th Feb / 6-8 pm

Stephen Rusk's exhibition showcases twenty-six people hearing a very odd question. Their reactions are recorded in nine photographs, one second apart, on film. Shown as 19 × 19 cm contact sheets.

Nadja Massün’s exhibition is an invitation to experience the timeless power of classical black-and-white photography where abstraction meets deep intimacy. Her images don’t just capture moments; they preserve emotions, relationships, and the quiet magic of presence. From the tender portrayal of her family to striking portraits and landscapes that merge seamlessly with their surroundings, her work distills the essence of existence into luminous, emotionally charged frames.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS: 

Stephen Rusk specialises in portraiture and performance. His recent works look at how faces are used, or not used, as part of expression—and whether we can read those faces. After years emphasising athletic and dance imagery, he completed his Masters in Photography at London College of Communication. His recent project Through a Glance, Darkly won the Sproxton Award for Photography.

Nadja Massün, a French-Hungarian freelance photographer, has spent much of her life in South America and Mexico. With a background in economics and political science, she worked with the United Nations before dedicating herself to photography in Oaxaca, where she trained at the Manuel Álvarez Bravo Photographic Center. Her work explores indigenous communities, cultural heritage, and documentary storytelling, including a project on the Táncház folk dance movement, recognized by UNESCO for preserving traditional music and dance.
