If you get a chance, go and see it and we can discuss it here in class the first 5 minutes. You can take photos of the photos you are more impressed about and comment on them. I saw it a few weeks ago and some of the photos certainly made an impact in me. Alternatively, you can type the photographer's name and title of exhibition in google and look at the photos there.
