Notable for their dream-like aesthetics, Suki Chan’s breath-taking panoramic films often trace abstract human narratives through urban environments. Possessing a rare clarity, this specific exhibition features Chan’s crisp and honest photographic series A Place On Earth, which focuses its lens on the newly sprung fraught, tense and yet hopeful towns in the suburbs of Shanghai. ??Until 18 Dec. Suki Chan will be speaking at Tin Type with Artesian Magazine co-editor Gareth Evans on 8 December. Tin Type Gallery, 23-25 Redchurch Street, Shoreditch High St, E2 7DJ 020 7503 9642 www.tintypegallery.com
