Every day on the news we are shown images of war and destruction. This coincides with global expenditure on arms increasing year after year. However, we are rarely afforded a glimpse behind the curtains of the global arms business. Nikita Teryoshin travelled to 16 arms fairs between 2016 and 2023 to investigate what happens before wars take place.

'Nothing Personal’ shows the back office of war, which is the complete opposite of a battlefield: an oversized playground for adults with wine, finger foods and shiny weapons.

In parallel with Teryoshin's exhibition, the winning categories from the 2024 Picture of the Year award will be displayed in the Project Space, with artist talks with both Teryoshin and the winner of the Picture of the Year.
