A Letter from Paris – Thursday 4 February 2010
The Cow Artworks have pleasure inviting you to the opening night of
A Letter from Paris, an exhibition by Eric Miyeni
In October 2008 Eric Miyeni, accompanied by his trusty pen and camera, spent two weeks in Paris keenly observing the architecture, the history, the people and the culture.
The result is an accomplished collection of essays and black and white photographs that are quirky, often poignant, quite astute, really funny and truly different in their take on the subject matter.
Please join us for the launch of his photographic journal, A Letter from Paris as well as his first ever exhibition of black and white photography.

Every time they took a portrait of each other smiling, a message flashed across the screen asking, "Did someone blink?" No one had. "I thought the camera was broken!" Wang, 33, recalls. But when her brother posed with his eyes open so wide that he looked "bug-eyed," the messages stopped.
