Perspectives on Photography
Arken Museum of Modern Art, Ishoj
Veronica's Revenge elucidates photography in the interspace and interplay between dramatisation and reality, idea and documentary. It is an exhibition which highlights the various realisms of photography. The artists address and work with the relationship of photography to reality. They investigate the ability of photography to at one and the same time show us the familiar and challenge our habitual perception of reality.
Veronica's Revenge elucidates
photography in the interspace and
interplay between dramatisation and
reality, idea and documentary. It is
an exhibition which highlights the
various realisms of photography.
The artists address and work with
the relationship of photography to
reality. They investigate the ability of
photography to at one and the same
time show us the familiar and
challenge our habitual perception of
reality.
On the one hand, the exhibition
shows a series of examples of
documentary photography, where
the artists utilise the ability of the
photograph to capture a moment, a
movement, or a situation.
On the other hand, a number of
artists challenge the realism of
photography.
They do not consider the
photograph to be a "copy" of reality
at all, and emphasise this fact by
means of photographs which are
either staged or dramatised or which
appropriate existing images from the
press, commercial advertisements,
and art history.
This exhibition is a collaboration
between ARKEN and
LAC-Switzerland.
