Norwegian artist Christian Belgaux will launch his photography book STAN accompanied by an exhibition of his work curated by Jack Pam for PS Art Space. The work has been developed through continual travel to Central and South Asian countries in the past decade and represents a body of work distinct in its honest ambition driven by discovery and voyeurism rather than motive or assignment.
