The first major solo exhibition of Swansea based photographer, Eva Bartussek, Horse House, documents a mansion house that was simultaneously used as both home and stable. The remarkable images generated by this study evoke a sense of the surreal and dreamlike whilst providing a glimpse into who may live here through the scattered domestic objects.
