Urban Outfitters is based in America, but this hasn’t stopped them from turning many unturned stones across the globe‚ especially when it comes to photography. They intercepted Tim Barber’s lens underwater and on the road, they threw a fistful of 35mm film at Viktor Vauthier in Epping Forest… not even Harmony Korine’s mind is off limits.

Country of Origin is a project and resulting exhibition initiated by Urban Outfitters (and presented by us!) that represents the work of ten emerging photographers discovered on the internet, but hailing from all over the world. The photographers include Aurélien Arbet and Jérémie Egry (France), Luke Byrne and Samuel Hodge (Australia), Zhang Jungang and Li Jie (China), Ana Kras (Serbia), Charlie Engman and Rob Kulisek (USA), Hasisi Park (South Korea), Tania Shcheglova and Roman Noven (Ukraine) and ThreeThousand covershot-submitter Lukasz Wierzbowski (Poland).

We hope you can come and check it out. Andy has booked Goodtime Studios for the afterparty and Bamboo Musik will be playing records with Philadelphia’s own Sammy Slice and Dave P. Look at that cardigan. Rohan better step it up.
