JOAN FONTCUBERTA: STRANGER THAN FICTION


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.”

Stranger Than Fiction is our latest Media Space exhibition, open 23 July - 9 November 2014.
Book now: http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/stran...

Joan Fontcuberta's first major UK exhibition features six documentary narratives that combine reality and fiction. Using the visual languages of journalism, advertising, museum displays and scientific journals, these convincing yet subversive and deadpan works are an investigation into photography's authority and our inclination to believe what we see.
