A major exhibition of contemporary photography SATURATION: the everyday transformed opens today at the Crawford Art Gallery. Embracing aspects of street, music and fashion photography, as well as humanity in all its colourful and messy reality, the exhibition is "light-hearted yet at times claustrophobic, celebratory but also conscious of the fragility and beauty of human life".
Featuring the work of Dragana Jurišić, Ruth Medjber, Michael Hanna and Conor Clinch among other acclaimed photographers, it is curated by William Laffan and Dawn Williams.
