Please join us for a talk highlighting artist’s from Stranger Than Fiction, an exhibition developed collaboratively with Capture and Emily Carr.

While photography has a long and fraught relationship with the truth, these artists use their works to probe what it is possible to know and delineate through photography, accepting as a given that truth is subjective, malleable, and time-specific. Some works are process-based, exploring what it is possible for the medium to represent. Here the light-sensitive surface becomes a site of experimentation and the darkroom a playground to test the medium’s boundaries. Others investigate identity and representation, questioning the ability to offer an honest or accurate representation of one’s self or one’s subject through photography.

Curated by Emmy Lee Wall, Executive Director, Capture Photography Festival and Birthe Piontek, Assistant Professor of Photography, Emily Carr University of Art + Design.

Capture x Emily Carr is a partnership between  Capture Photography Festival and the Audain Faculty of Art at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, organized by Shumka Centre.

This program is funded in part by the Co-op and Work Integrated Learning Initiative of the Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills and Training, the Government of Canada’s Innovative Work-Integrated Learning program and CEWIL Canada’s iHUB, as well as by a generous donation from Wesgroup.
