Title: No understanding between the brain and the hands
Location: Kemistry Gallery
Start Time: 18:00

No understanding between the brain and the hands is a collaboration between Pocko photographers and illustrators. Inspired by Metropolis, the 1927 silent science fiction film created by the famed director Fritz Lang, four of Pocko’s photographers have collaborated with nine different designers to create interpretation of the film

From strange creatures taking over the concrete jungle to our understanding of the city as a living organism, the images created as part of No understanding between the brain and the hands reinterpret Lang’s urban distopya, creating new versions of the city as we know it today. Questionning the relationship that we share with the city, the joining of photographers with illustrators has resulted in a striking collection of images which challenge our place within today metropolis.

Accompanying the exhibition is issue one of Pocko Times, a large format collection of visual accompanying short stories from the work of the Pocko Network

Pocko was founded in 1999 in London by Nicola Schwartz, a photography graduate of the Royal College of Art. It has rapidly become an internationally known company working with contemporary artists and with forward thinking brands.
