Leandro Quintero grew up in Argentina and has lived in Madrid, Ibiza, Zurich, London, Berlin, and Bali. Deby Sucha grew up in Indonesia and has moved between Jakarta, Tokyo, and everywhere a camera gave her reason to go. The exhibition is called Convergent because that is what happened: two photographers from opposite ends of the world arrived at the same place, at the same time, with a similar instinct, that the most important thing a photograph can do is make the person looking at it feel like they are actually there.

The work shown spans both photographers' documentary practices. Leandro's approach: purely grounded in reality, no beautification, only capturing the energy of what is in front of him. Deby's: spending time with subjects and their environments until the distance between photographer and place disappears. What Sunset Limited described as "a raw and honest body of works" is really just two people who believe that how we are the same matters more than how we are different.
