Borderless Territory; an exhibition of photographs from the region



French photographer Olivier Escarguel was in the UAE last night to open an exhibition of new works at Alliance Française Dubai. Working as a professional photographer for the past 10 years, Escarguel has travelled extensively and this show depicts dramatic and poetic images from the UAE, Oman and Yemen.

This is his first solo show in Dubai and is well worth a visit.
