This exhibition at Pushkin House celebrates the photographic achievements of Antanas Sutkus including a recent commission for The Photographers Gallery called The World in London.

The World in London is a celebration of Londoners and demonstrates photography’s ability to capture the human form in interesting and distinct ways. The project is organised by The Photographers’ Gallery and forms part of the London 2012 Festival, the finale of the Cultural Olympiad. The Photographers’ Gallery is the largest public gallery in the UK dedicated to photography. For more information about the project and its participants please visit the website:
