Artificial Things

Photography exhibition, 3 November 2017 – 19 January 2018

There will always be a question over the photographic image as to whether it can ever truly capture reality. ‘Artificial Things’ explores this idea further, bringing together photographic artists who use the medium to explore and merge the boundaries of the fake, the real, and the in-between.

Becky Probert, Ben Altman, Charlotte Morrison, Christopher Sims, Ethan Lo, Gavin Smart, Georgina Howard, Jacqueline Thow, Jo Stapleton, Joanne Coates, Luke Harby, Lynn Fotheringham, Olli Hellmann, Paul Hart, Rachel Wright, Theo Ellison, Victoria Ahrens, Will Webster
