A remarkable network of 6 curators in 6 cities have explored the potential of curating entirely through the internet; one exhibition of 600 city-images by 60 individuals - artists, photographers, architects and graphic designers, who they have invited to participate. The full set of 600 (black and white) digital images is reproduced by each city and exhibited in each city simultaneously.

"The Old Cemetery is a quiet haven for wild flowers and a good place to find butterflies on sunny days', series of 10 photographs.
Since stumbling upon a curious statue of an angel worrier, squeezed between an early 1900 building and the 70's socialist building, in Belgrade last year, I have been on the look out for abandoned statues. These abandonded warriors, scattered like old road signs, spoke to me of passing of time, transience of values and beliefs we hold on to, die for and who with us turn into ashes. The Old Cemetery, is a completely abandoned cemetery in Barnes, London, and I was struck by the care that went in creating and erecting the angel statues, which now lay headless and forgotten. The title is borrowed from the local information board's rather curious description of the cemetary.
