Two British artists are presenting their work in progress, both projects shot primarily in Morocco. Michael Grieve is showcasing his fictional documentary The Foreigner and Laura Hynd puts on display her visual exploration of personal identity, titled The Letting Go.

They are joined by two overseas artists: Swedish photographer JH Engstrom, who is showcasing images from his series Trying to Dance, and Tereza Zelenkova, who presents Supreme Vice, which was inspired by the 19th Century occult revival in the Western World.

Otherwise very distinctive, the images are bound together by the subjectivity of the artists' approach. Commenting on the bodies of work presented, Grieve says they "all have a strong authorial signature, but contain a message of distance."

The international mix of artists presented gives a good overview of stylistic differences between the distinct European photography schools, and Grieve says "Zelenkova's work has a very Eastern European flavour, dark you could say", while Hynd's work is more British - "very close and perhaps more feminine."

Recalling the story of the exhibition's origins, Grieve says it was his "chance encounter" with Oblong Gallery director Melina Michael. With a background in photography, she has been showcasing a range of conceptual fine art work, but she says Grieve's images have inspired her to "revive the medium." The rest of the quartet came together in a very "organic" way, defined by the content of Grieve's work.

Oblong was established as a space to showcase the art from all disciplines and Michael hopes "the current exhibition is to launch the photography side of Oblong with a succession of shows planed in future."
