Curating art, narrating reality.
A place where creativity and research meet.
Here are our projects:
The Dust in my Pocket is the solo exhibition by Annabel Elgar, which gathers a selection of recent works from the series Cheating the Moon and the unpublished series Noon in the Desert.
The theme of truth in photography is one that constantly shifts and redefines itself, following the development and history of photography. Today, it is more than ever juxtaposed with concepts like originality and memory. The dust in my pocket is a thin veil, a persistent trace that is simultaneously elusive. It is this very element that Annabel Elgar engages with, often both dialoguing and pillaging it, returning a picture that is even more complex than the original. The clues, documents, and objects Elgar presents in her images are the result of a meticulous investigative process and reconstruction, yet they maintain a disturbing and ambiguous quality that both attracts and intrigues. Is truth, itself, perhaps an enigma?
Annabel Elgar (1971) lives and works in London.
She holds a Master of Arts in Photography from the Royal College of Art, and her work has appeared in numerous international exhibitions and publications. Recent exhibitions include NUCLEUS – Imagining Science, Noorderlicht Photofestival, Netherlands (2017); Photography is Magic, Aperture Foundation, New York (2016); Setting Out, apexart, New York (2016); Contemporary Photography in Northwestern Europe, Fondazione Fotografia, Modena (2015).
The exhibition is presented in conjunction with FestivalFilosofia 2018.
