Lives We Cannot Live reveals the hidden reality of living with the condition. \nCurated by Sebah Chaudhry and supported by the ME Association\, the exhibition sets out to bring visibility to a hidden and neglected community and encompasses environmental portraits\, collaged with diary notes and personal memories of before being ill\, selected from more than 50 cases. \nDiagnosed with ME as a teenager\, Jeffs shares the lived experiences of his sitters and captures an intimate side of life rarely witnessed even by close friends. Hidden symptoms mixed with a general lack of awareness make this a doubly invisible and isolating disease. \n“I started this project out of frustration and anger because in the almost four decades since my diagnosis nothing has really changed. We still don’t know much about ME\, there’s still a lack of proper funding for research\, no clear treatment\, and worse\, there’s still widespread misunderstanding about the illness\, even among some healthcare professionals.” \nAround 400\,000 people in the UK have this debilitating and as yet incurable illness. Symptoms include profound fatigue\, sleep disturbance\, post-exertional malaise\, cognitive difficulties and a range of other symptoms like pain\, headaches\, nausea and intolerance to lights and noise. \nLives We Cannot Live is the first large scale project to focus on ME and precedes the publication of a photo book with Fistful of Books later this year.

Responding directly to the ongoing ecological collapse\, violent destruction\, and the pervasive sense of uncertainty\, Sheer Presence acts as a cosmopolitical manifestation tool—a profound call to remain awake\, intentional\, and attuned to unseen forces shaping our shared reality. \nDrawing inspiration from Blaise Agüera y Arcas’ recent book What Is Life? Evolution as Computation (MIT Press\, 2025)\, the exhibition explores Sheer Presence as the distinct intrusion of another entity— often animal or virtual—disrupting the human order. Echoing the 8th-century Tibetan Buddhist Tattvasangraha text (verses 2892-2893)\, Roberts emphasises presence as the fundamental ability of an entity to profoundly influence and alter its environment\, reshaping perceptions and expanding experiences of reality. \nAt the heart of the exhibition is an ancient manifestation grid\, activated through six thematic “nodes”: ancestors>
