DESCRIPTION
The photograph above is part of "In Between: Places or Non-Places": a group exhibition held between 21 April 2023 - 14 May 2023 at Art Why Gallery (Shanghai, China), in which the twin brothers Anthony and Phillip Reed explore how the forces of globalisation have shaped our world. In-Between is a project that was born out of Augé's theory and the accurate depiction of our world. Started in 2008, the project consists of continual exchanges of photographs between the twins while they lived apart in different continents. The images represent transient, generic urban spaces and the solitary individuals who inhabit them. Despite the competition between urban designs, each city's urban plan ultimately results in a non-place, a postmodern human settlement that attempts to include everything and ends up becoming nothing.
