Cohesion is a new body of work by artists Ibrahim Azab and Josh Moseley, exploring the experience of friendship, practice and play.

Through collaboration, the duo artists investigate notions of connection, separation and presence via the lens and image making processes. Both artists move away and approach each others artistic practice, using the photograph as a space of arrival and departure. Through this act, performances become present whilst simultaneously absent from each other and the camera, forming a visceral understanding of time, space and object whilst bringing together and fragmenting the body, memory and the photograph.

Significantly ideas of magic and interaction surround the new work, reflecting upon the development and support which is passed on through the close friendship of the artists. Azab and Moseley had met during their photographic studies in Bournemouth in 2014 whilst developing their relationship and individual practices. Since then, the artists have worked and collaborated on a number of projects within photography, both Azab and Moseley have shared an artists studio for the past 3 years in which Cohesion sees their first photographic collaboration.
