Well, we weren’t lying when we said: “see right through objects”. Starting on October 8, you have the chance to see the world, hidden and unseen, in X-ray vision at the X-Ray Men exhibition. What can’t we see with our own eyes? What is inside that car? And what is hidden in a flower? British photographer Nick Veasey masterfully blends art and science to capture the mysterious yet fascinating and often surprising nature of everyday objects, from flowers and teddy bears to cars and even planes full of people.
