Hans Ulrich Obrist and Lemn Sissay stand in the Poet Slash Artist exhibition at HOME during MIF21. Hans Ulrich stands on the left; he is white with a pale peach skin tone and very short white hair; he wears glasses with clear frames, a green check shirt with black lattice and arrow patterns and dark navy jeans; he is smiling and looking just to the right of the camera. Lemn stands on the right; he is Black with a deep brown skin tone and medium length black and grey afro hair; he wears a white short sleeve shirt and black jeans, his hands are in the front pockets of his jeans; he smiles with a closed mouth directly at the camera. A vitrine can be seen between them in the background, and beyond that a neon artwork on the wall; a large frame hangs on the left wall behind Hans Ulrich; many smaller frames hang on the right wall behind Lemn. The industrial style ceiling of the space can be seen above the white gallery walls and partitions.
