A wave of new science and technology allows us to modify, hack and transform our lives into our own personal perfection but with growing cultural pressures to look perfect and live an ideal life, is striving for perfection a positive goal? Or is imperfection what sustains life and creates diversity and difference? By holding up a mirror to our own ideals, PERFECTION reflects our ever-changing ideas of scientific precision, psychological perfectionism and perfect imperfection. PERFECTION runs until 6th October.
