Mystery Terrain is Shireen Seno's first solo exhibition, featuring photographs shot on black and white film and a lone video piece, revealing a focus and imagination towards our experience of place, and an urge to move beyond its diaristic surface. She presents a two-fold selection of still and moving images and the abstraction she forges in black and white. Through these processes, she explores her own experience of and curiosity with placelessness. Her images reflect a sense of wonder and freshness that are at once unsettled and at home.

This is the last program of "SPROUT", four-part project of plantingrice.com that explores the limits of different cultural infrastructures by curating exhibition programs that examine continuous social and artistic dialogue. The exhibition will run until Saturday, 4 February 2012.
