Face to Face

Face to Face is a dramatic and moving photography exhibition featuring huge portraits of apes - the work of photographer James Mollison.

This exhibition includes 30 incredibly powerful, large-scale portraits of our closest relatives - apes. Each unique portrait stands over 2m tall and captures the intense and endearing expressions of each subject.

This must-see event not only exhibits some of the most amazing primate photography ever seen, but each portrait tells a story of apes orphaned, victims of the bushmeat trade and of poaching.

Many of the apes had suffered extreme physical and emotional stress by the time they were rescued. The resulting case studies make for a humbling experience, certain to have a lasting impact on any visitor to this must-see exhibition.
