Naomi White's Soap War features a faux bathroom made out of cardboard. On the mirror a sign says "No more soap girls! It was STILL being wasted". Her graduating series Out the Back explores work environments and their effect on employees. She has re-created the otherwise off limits staff areas using the packaging material that one might find there. The banal, neutral toned surroundings, peppered with motivational and instructional signage highlight the ultimately de-motivating atmosphere of these workplaces. The scenes are delightfully subversive and frank.
Max Creasy's carefully constructed images play between illusion and representation, between the facsimile and the real. They invite doubt about the process of photography and the viewer's relationship to it. His still life scenes are cast from plaster, hand painted and photographed. The process of painting interrupts our understanding of the role and effects of light in the photographic process. This layered construction of the scene creates an uncertainty in the eye of the viewer. These still life images present themselves as a mixture of references to the artistic process, duplication, and illusion.
With an eye for oddness, and for the tension between domesticity and nature, Roberta Thornley's photography explores the obsessive things people do in their anxious search for perfection and happiness. Her work is both painterly and cinematic, revealing what seem to be suspended moments in mysterious unresolved narratives. She says, "I want my photographs to ask questions, and I want them to be rich with narrative possibilities. At the same time I try to evoke atmospheres that oscillate between melancholy and desire. It's a difficult combination but I keep trying."
Emidio Puglielli's work highlights our relationship to photographs, with a particular focus on their materiality and how it impacts our reading of the image. His series of works display both sides of a photograph at once. The photographs become objects allowing us to plug into our own references, histories and contexts and how we connect to images.

« I began my first self-portraits at the age of 10. My maternal grandmother was the spark for this new passion. She was the one who bought me a little red Kodak, even if I remember having to go to great lengths in order to get it. In my first snapshots, I took center stage in front of the camera. I just reproduced what I knew: fashion models. Born to a ...
Applying cultural clichés as a catalyst, the exhibition focuses on stereotypes, which has given cultural meaning to the specificities of a given region, Finland. Literally speaking Finland does not belong to the Arctic in a geographic sense, but the Finns are – as are, sa...
Le masque est le support de la puissance, la médiation entre l’être supérieur, les ancêtres et les humains.Il accompagne l’homme au limite de la vie et du surnaturel. Il met face à face les dieux, les génies et les hommes. La relation entre le photographe et le masque exige un rapport de compréhension, un...

Antoine Picard développe un travail où la nature et la ville se mêlent en des formes autonomes. Dans la rue émergent des signes de réappropriation du végétal, alors que la campagne est parsemées de vestiges urbains. Il semble qu'un ordre nouveau se met en place. L'homme reste le...
