Emerging artists from Austria, Belgium, Finland, Germany, Poland and Sweden reflect on the impact of technology on the presentation of self in this Australian exclusive.
This exhibition reflects on the way digital technologies mediate our relationships through virtual and physical realities, and the effects on our performance of self. Through a variety of conceptual approaches spanning photography, video, installation, new media and performance, the artists investigate the blurring of private and public realms and the agency of the individual within a post-digital society.
No True Self asks us to confront our performative selves, and consider how we connect, amidst such an uncertain future.
This exhibition is part of PHOTO 2021’s expanded program.
