CENTREPOINT AUTUMN EXHIBITION is pleased to present Swiss-Australian artist Alex Kaeslin's "LIGHT IN THE DARK"- an exhibition of photographs highlighting his journey from Australia to Switzerland via VW Bus, Camel, hitchiking, etc. from 2006-2008.

Re: his work, Kaeslin, writes:

"Since arriving home I have exhibited my work three times and started a photographic company called "We Shoot U Photography" with my friend and fellow Photographer, Susan Brunner. This year I won the first prize in the Paris Prix de la Photographie. The photographs I am showing at Centrepoint are a few of my favorites from our journey which I hope you will all enjoy as much as I do"
