An exhibition of new work by the Israel-born, London-based artist Ori Gersht, whose work deals with conflict, history and geography. The show consists of two film works that reflect on lives shaped by WWII: 'Will You Dance for Me?', which focuses on an 85 year-old's experiences in Auschwitz, and 'Evaders', which is inspired by the ill-fated journey of writer and philosopher Walter Benjamin. Also on display is the photographic work 'Chasing Good Fortune', which looks at the shifting symbolism of Japanese cherry blossom.

Excellent exhibition. Learning about Ori Gerscht's creative process before seeing the show makes the experience a lot more powerful.
