From his award-winning photographs of the banks of China's Yangtze River to the shores of the River Thames and places such as Chernobyl, heavy with the weight of history, Kander’s photographs stand out for their ability to evoke both emotion and a sense of timelessness. Rather than simply documenting the world, his work evokes a shared human experience through a poetic and atmospheric visual language. His images often dwell at the margins – on the ‘edge of things’ – where certainty dissolves and ambiguity takes hold. Shadow, emptiness, and silence play as vital a role as his subjects, creating photographs that resonate on a profound level.

The exhibition is curated by guest curator David Campany, Creative Director of the International Center of Photography, New York, in collaboration with the Foundation for the Exhibition of Photography (Minneapolis/Paris/Lausanne) and Foam.

The international publication The Edge of Things accompanying this exhibition is published by Thames & Hudson.

Nadav Kander is a London-based artist and director, internationally acclaimed for his portraiture and large-format landscape photographs. He began taking photographs at the age of 13. Kander has received numerous awards and honours. In 2009, shortly after the inauguration of Barack Obama, Kander was commissioned by The New York Times Magazine to produce a landmark series of fifty-two portraits of members of the Obama administration — the largest number of portraits by a single photographer ever published in one issue of the magazine.

His work is held in major public collections, including the National Portrait Gallery in London; Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago; The Frank-Suss Collection, London, New York and Hong Kong.
