Review: Strange and Familiar

Do you ever wonder how foreign visitors to Britain view the country and its inhabitants? How do we appear and what do they make of our ways and customs. Do we appear familiar to the outsider’s eye or are we strange and peculiar?     Bringing together a stellar cast of 23 international renewed photographers, including greats Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Frank, and featuring previously unseen work, a new photography exhibition at London’s Barbican Centre, seeks to address these very questions by focusing on both the mundane, and eccentric aspects of life in Britain.
