The whole ethos behind this exhibition of the formative years of Arbus' work was to look at it with the idea that there is "No beginning, no middle, and certainly no end." This as a philosophy of looking at photo stories is something that has stuck with me since visiting the exhibition.

The layout of the images was pretty interesting, 1 image on the front and back of singular white pillars spaced unevenly throughout the room, there was no single point in the room where you could see everything which forced you to forge your own path through the pillars seeking out the images, almost like walking down the street and peering through windows

Alongside the images at this exhibition there were numerous quotes from Arbus placed higher up on the pillars almost out of sight. My favourite of which was "All i want is what i don't know"

The vast majority of the work on display at this exhibition looked at the socially taboo, and the 'outcasts and freaks' of society. Showing people with congenital deformities, cross dressers, and other eccentrics of the streets of New York City. The captions of the images are comical, yet clinical and succinct, ranging from simply the name of the the sitter, to detailed descriptions such as "Man with a curious baby on the subway" shown below:
