On loan from The Japan Foundation this exhibition introduces photographic works by 11 Japanese Artists, the common theme being the photographer's desire to capture a world invisible to the human eye - the world of 'the spirit'. Such an attitude reflects the propensity of the Japanese to perceive the spiritual aspect of life.

Nathan Coley
JERUSALEM SYNDROME
30 October - 27 November 2004
Cooper Gallery

For this exhibition, commissioned by University of Dundee Exhibitions Department, internationally acclaimed Dundee-based artist Nathan Coley travelled to Israel to explore the bizarre phenomenon of 'Jerusalem Syndrome'.

'Jerusalem Syndrome' is a rare travel psychosis, afflicting people who find themselves intoxicated by the Holy City. Those affected can be found at holy sites, chanting, singing, and delivering sermons as if living in the time of Christ.

Coley's work is an ongoing enquiry into place, identity and belief. He is interested in documenting and reacting to a specific place or event, and attempting to make sense of it in the wider world.
