Artist Announcement

In partnership with Futures, Unveil is proud to present its inaugural drop ‘Structures’:
A visual and philosophical exploration into the notion of Structures.

What are the structures of nature, and the complex spectrum of structures that
mankind creates within and around itself? How do these structures define us and the
world around us and what is the eternal pendulum between construction and
destruction within this context? A study into structures in ecology, the urban
environment, identity, cultural representation and reality itself, but also the structures
of the photographic image.

‘Structures’ is exemplary of what to expect from Unveil: a highly curated perspective,
in partnership with a leading international voice in photography, and in support of
global talent.
