This solo exhibition consisted of new photographic works and a site specific installation which questioned the concept of reality in photography and the notion of a ‘photographic reality’. Looking at popular theories claiming to provide answers to the search for meaning, as in psychology and astrology, the artist exploreed ideas around society’s quest for perfection and photography’s parallel’s in such current belief’s. A small publication with an commissioned article by Lisa Le Feuvre accompanied the show.
