At lunch before meeting Asa, a friend mentioned the Wellcome Collection in london, and the anatomy exhibition that is housed there. My ears pricked up as i had never heard of this place. How exciting, a new place to visit in London, a city that i've covered quite extensively since i was a kid. Then a couple of hours later Asa mentioned it again. I went to London the Friday of that week to visit a friend from university, and arranged to meet her at the Wellcome Collection. Getting off the tube at Euston Square i saw a poster for something called the 'Identity Project' That might be interesting i thought. Standing waiting for my friend outside the Wellcome building i jumped onto my iPhone and googled the identity project only to find it was an exhibition currently on display at.... The Wellcome Collection. I went in.

8 rooms 9 lives is the tag-line for the display, 9 different explorations into the notion of what makes us who we are, explorations of identity. Each Story is displayed in a different room, but what makes this even more interesting for me is that all these rooms are within the same space. Each room is a large box, the exteriors all look the same, but the content in each is displayed in different ways in each.
