Exposition Exhibition : « Measuring Infinity » by Chloe Sells Press Release, Michael Hoppen Gallery - There is a place on earth that can be seen from space like a white splash across the darker skin of the surrounding land. The albino mark looks like something that has been forgotten. There is no green of tree cover. There is no blue of water. There is no brown of soil. It is emptiness. This is the Makgadikgadi Salt Pan, a vast area in the heart of the Kalahari Desert of Botswana. Chloe Sells has been photographing there for the last two years.

Michael Hoppen Contemporary is delighted to present a new series of photographic works by Chloe Sells titled Senescence. This exhibition marks the first solo show of Sells’ work at Michael Hoppen Contemporary.
Informed by extensive travel, residence and immersion in countries foreign to her, Sells explores the question of how places are defined, while speculating on the consequences of human experience of place. Is a place fixed, or continually shifting? Do people shape the particularities of space as they encounter it? From a distinct orientation, what is revealed about comfort or fear, revulsion or curiosity?
