Shrinking Violet
Cao Xun, Jess Robins and Motoko Kikkawa
7/10/20 - 24/10/20
Shrinking Violet presents recent photography by Cao Xun, Jess Robins and Motoko Kikkawa. The exhibition thinks about photography as an introverted act—counter to its more common, hyper-social contexts. Each practice unfurls the potential of the medium’s inherently reserved and elusive nature.
