KangHee Kim (b. 1991) distils the everyday, refining and transforming it into something altogether different – and utterly fantastical. Kim asks viewers to think beyond the possibilities of the lens and see the world in new ways: where up can be down; left can be right; fences can be portals; and motorways can pave the way to the sun. Bold, blazing blues characterise the featured images as skies take centre stage. Billowing white clouds roll into focus and engulf phone wires, cut through wire, peek through walls and dance across the surface of empty bus seats. Each composition is perfectly framed – creating doorways, borders and hinge points between one space and the next. Kim has worked with the likes of Samsung, The New York Times, The New Yorker, VCSO and ICON Magazine, and has been featured in TIME, Forbes, Ignant, Hunger TV, Aperture, British Journal of Photography, VICE and more. Kim is represented by Benrubi Gallery, New York. kanghee.kim

Tallulah Rendall: The Banshee And The Moon, Rebecca Hossack Gallery
Tallulah Rendall is not a woman for half-measures. Having shed her six-piece band, the songstress stands feet astride, juggling acrobatic vocals, loop pedals and guitars in a tumult of folk fury.
Surrealist Tendencies
Through a sophisticated use of camera and post-production techniques, photographer Bastiaan Woudt gives a contemporary twist to the classical.
