Throughout FORMAT festival, MPN invited instagram users to submit photographs on the theme of personal evidence.  They printed the best images that explored the theme of EVIDENCE in original and insightful ways, for exhibition from 13th March – 12th April 2015.

This interactive exhibition invited participants to select a photograph and engage with the photographer by reworking the image.  Camdiary made this great reinterpretation of mine (here it is on instagram):
