Me, My Fridge & I by Paul Fuller
Paul Fuller’s study of people who live on their own and their relationship to their domestic spaces was instigated by his own experience. Finding himself living alone for the first time in his life, he began to notice certain things about himself and changes in his behaviour. The exhibition features photographic portraits of the people Paul met and honest and personal interviews about their living situations, revealing humorous details about life behind closed doors and dispelling the stereotype of people living alone as unhappy or miserly. Fri 23 May – Fri 20 Jun. Private View: Thurs 22 May, 6.30pm. Admission free. See EXHIBITIONS
