About the event
This film program takes Yaniya Lee’s Momenta catalogue essay “We Don’t Need Images What It Feels Like Is Good Enough” as a starting point to examine how moving images can shift our assumptions about the meaning behind what we see.
Here formal experimentation dissembles and reshapes the meaning of images. Placed side by side, these works show us the ways in which representation can be at odds with reality. Through a variety of mediums, John Smith, Dana Dawud, Marcell Iványi and others explore the construction of visual narratives.
