This ‘Me’ of Mine is a touring contemporary art exhibition which looks at self in relation to context. It presents issues of socialization and the influence of social groups and our connection to objects as a means to express emotion and to hold memories. The passage of time, limitations imposed by circumstance, and the effects of living in a digital age are also explored in the exhibition.

A Chain of Wooded Mountains - Publication

KEEM's first publication A Chain of Wooded Mountains has arrived back from the printers, and includes a specially commissioned text by writer Matthew de Kersaint Giraudeau.

We are now looking into various options, and meeting with different print companies, before we go ahead with producing a limited edition print-run of the book.

More information coming soon...

Forthcoming Publication

Following on from the exhibition A Chain of Wooded Mountains, which took place during Photomonth 2012, KEEM have begun work on their book of the same title. This will form the third and final stage of a lengthy process of discussion, interpretation and collaboration.

We are very excited to be working with writer Matthew de Kersaint Giraudeau, who will be producing a text to accompany the work.

The book will be published later this year.

Bird On A Wire

In the process of editing A Chain of Wooded Mountains we were struck by these seven images, each of them different but all of the same scene. We question why this scene generated more photographs than any other in the series.

The sprawling cemeteries, and the black bird on the wire, stand out in front of us as we look down from the surrounding hills on a city that suffered the longest siege of any in the history of modern warfare.
