Photographers Emma Ressel and Rachel Stern sit down with curator Peter Barberie for a conversation on the theme of desire and excess in their works and practices for Enough Already: Photography and Excess.

The exhibition includes two commissioned installations by the artists. Ressel explores the often destructive human impulse to be close to nature, while Stern considers intertwining objects of desire: beautiful bodies and beautiful things.
