This exhibition was really interesting as it consisted of both video and images and also artifacts. The message through out the exhibition was clear. The images were composed really well and all had a good depth of field within them. There was a lot going on in each image however this made you take more interest within the image. I really like the way they mixed audio and images together as this made you understand the exhibition more.
