To the exhibition
Showcasing the work of Thomas Demand, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Andreas Gursky, and Jeff Wall, the exhibition presents four photographers whose images skilfully interrogate the possibilities and limitations of their chosen medium. Working with both analogue and digital technologies, the four artists not only formulate wholly distinct ways of seeing reality but analyse human perception itself. Their subjects range from fleeting everyday scenes to mysterious events and re-enacted historical happenings. What these images all share is the artists’ intent to meld the documentary – traditionally photography’s cardinal virtue – with the fictional. Without losing the connection to something that once existed, they construct glimpses of worlds that are as convincing as they are disconcerting.
