The exhibition deals with the 'in between' and the undefined. The display challenges our tendency to define and limit the understanding of ourselves and others. The artwork is focused on cultural, generational and artistic differences. The ideas for the exhibition have emerged from the experience of young people living in Liverpool, Helsinki, Paris and London. The display has been curated by Young Tates, bringing together young people from across Europe to consider issues of European citizenship, identity and cultural democracy.

Pistoletto's work reminds me of my idea to expose my photographs on to a mirror. I like how the viewer becomes part of the work. They are able to engage with the work on an active, personal level. The work will look different to each person looking at it. The illusion acts to inspire an active engagement between the viewer and the image.
