After searching through thousands of images which were submitted via thehub, as well as sourcing photographers previously featured on their Instagram account, Of the Afternoon presents a group exhibition featuring 6 of the most exciting photographic artists today, taking place at theprintspace Gallery between November 10th – 15th.
“What is an emergent system? Think of it as a process in which many interactions among lots of simple objects give rise to behaviors that are much more complex. Lots of sand grains interact to form sand dunes, and lots of nerve cells interact to form our conscious brain.”
– Professor Robert M. Hazen
The exhibition will feature works from photographers Reuben Wu, Delaney Allen, Lucas Zimmermann, Martin Schgaguler as well as large-scale prints from Daily Overview and Australian drone-duo Salty Wings, with all prints being for sale both during the exhibition and through an exclusive webstore hosted by Of the Afternoon.
Join us for the private view on Thursday November 10 by reserving your free ticket below.
Daily Overview
Daily Overview is a project by Benjamin Grant inspired by, and deriving its name from an idea known as the Overview Effect. This term refers to the sensation astronauts have when given the opportunity to look down and view the Earth as a whole. They have the chance to appreciate our home in its entirety, to reflect on its beauty and fragility all at once. The series of works are high definition satellite photographs which document the rapidly changing face of the planet.
Lucas Zimmermann
Lucas Zimmermann’s series of images of an ordinary set of traffic lights in Weimar, Germany has been published everywhere from The independent to Colossal, gaining virality in the process. Zimmermann‘s ability to find a moment of beauty in the seemingly mundane is what lead to the popularity of the work; it is simple in concept but beautiful in execution.

Geneva-based Martin Schgaguler has become known for his dreamy landscape images, which he’s been sharing on his Instagram account for over a year.
