Local Description

Pardington has photographed the generally unseen storage areas of museums and art galleries. Just as the way in which objects are selected and displayed in museums tells as much about the culture that selects and displays them as it does about the things themselves, so too is the way in which objects are stored unseen resonant with commentary on the society stores them thus.  - Thomas

Description
