FABRICA

The In Between Gallery is an exhibition space for contemporary photography in Fabrica’s large window on Duke Street, Brighton. Showing from June until autumn 2026 is Emma Collins’s image, taken from her series The Snail and the Mannequin. These photographs were made in the artist’s family home, with scenes constructed in familiar rooms where something feels slightly off: small details that don’t sit quite right, and ordinary moments that begin to shift into something stranger. Natural materials such as soil, roots, grass, branches and shells recur throughout the work. While they carry associations of grounding and belonging, once brought into the home and removed from their natural context, these associations shift, producing a sense of unease and reflecting how attempts to root ourselves can generate both stability and dislocation. The work also draws on Freud’s idea of the uncanny, in which the home - typically understood as safe and familiar - can become unfamiliar or unsettling.

Exploring the intersection of art and artificial intelligence, this exhibition features works created using AI and machine learning algorithms.
