Time Out says

From wildlife to street scenes, portraits to architectural wonders, this exhibition captures the very best of photography today. Wander through the West and East Wings of Somerset House and experience images that push boundaries, tell stories, and make you see the world in a new light. Joel Meyerowitz’s presentation adds another layer, taking you onto the streets of Europe and beyond through photos, videos, and soundscapes. It’s a must-see for anyone curious about where photography is headed.
