JOAN FONTCUBERTA – STRANGER THEN FICTION
2014-07-28Discover the incredible fictions of Joan Fontcuberta in his first major UK exhibition, featuring six conceptually independent narratives that mix fact with fiction and science with art.
“Photography is a tool to negotiate our idea of reality. Thus it is the responsibility of photographers to not contribute with anaesthetic images but rather to provide images that shake consciousness.”
– Joan Fontcuberta
Winner of the 2013 Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography, Fontcuberta uses the storytelling capabilities of photographic imagery to create a reality that is convincing, mischievous and visually compelling.
Exhibition runs through to November 9th, 2014
