The Limits of Photography explores the areas in which the viewer loses confidence in the veracity of a photographically-based work. We have been confident, since the beginning of widely published photographic images in the late 1920s, that photographs are telling us something very truthful about the world. This notion can be challenged when the photograph is manipulated to the point of losing out trust both in its identity as a photograph and subsequently in its veracity as a document. A subtext of the exhibition is the question of whether and for how long we can still identify a photograph as photograph, and the parallel realization of how we may confuse photography with reality.
The exhibition also contains a wide variety of contemporary mixed media and alteration/manipulation. Some of these departures from photographic purity result in very minimal imagery and some result in dense, intricate detail. Taken as a whole, this work results in something more akin to a series of partially remembered dreams than a clear report or document.
