Indifferent West Elliott Gallery September 27, 2025 | January 17, 2026 Indifferent West is a salient visual investigation into the mythology, commercialisation and environmental disruption of the Western landscape. The exhibition features a selection of Mirer’s meticulously composed, vivid photographs spanning over 30 years, capturing the strange beauty and haunting irony of a landscape defined more by fantasy than fact. Mirer’s forthcoming book of the same title, showcasing 108 photographs, launches in conjunction with the show at Elliott Gallery.

Landscape and Alchemy Hackelbury July 17, 2025 | September 27, 2025
Landscape and Alchemy Hackelbury July 17, 2025 | September 27, 2025 Landscape and Alchemy brings together the evocative works of Katja Liebmann and Nadezda Nikolova in a contemplative dialogue between place, memory, and photographic transformation. Rooted in early photographic processes, Liebmann’s cyanotypes and Nikolova’s wet plate collodion images transcend straightforward landscape depiction to become meditations on time, perception, and the elemental. Both artists act as modern-day alchemists, manipulating light, chemistry and material to transmute landscape into more than image, into sensation, atmosphere, and emotion. Here, the landscape becomes a site of transformation, both physical and poetic. Through processes that are as tactile as they are visual, Landscape and Alchemy reveals…
