Event Gallery

A friend of mine took me to a tiny gallery in east London yesterday called the Event Gallery. It is located in Bethnal Green, hidden on a little side street. You would have to know about the place somehow, as it is in such a discreet location in a terrace house that you can't really find it by accident.

The gallery has a very intimate atmosphere, which intensified the visiting experience. At the moment, they have an intriguing exhibition on the effect of parasites living in the human brain on human behaviour. The exhibition illustrates through images how such parasites can totally control and change human behaviour. One is left with feelings of apprehension. Somehow the exhibition shows how there are factors out there out of our control and how we can't always know what is causing us to behave in the way that we do.

The exhibition is definitely worth a visit. Here is their website:
