“DOCUMENTED”
A VIRTUAL EXHIBITION
 

The body of documentary photography presented in “Documented” interrogates how observation governs our understanding of reality, challenging entrenched notions of visual truth and representation.

 

Its foundation lies in scenes with minimal intervention, thereby preserving their intrinsic veracity. Yet, within this approach, certain works subtly manipulate the medium, providing a critical commentary on fact versus illusion, the tension between the real and the constructed, and subjectivity.

 

Thoughtful composition raises questions about the limits of objectivity and the photographer's role. These images, though altered, remain grounded in integrity, prompting a reconsideration of the boundaries that separate authenticity from artifice. The photographs convey visceral emotion, eliciting a reevaluation of the mechanisms through which meaning is formed. “Documented” provokes an intellectual engagement with the complexities of interpretation, urging a deeper reflection on both the visible and invisible forces dictating our experience of living.

 

It encourages contemplation of broader cultural, historical, and social contexts, revealing the intricate web of influences affecting how images are interpreted and conceptualised.
