GALLERY TALK
David Campany and Kathrin Kur: Pursuit of Fiction
Tuesday 19 February, 19:15
Entry: £5 / £3.50 annual members
To accompany the exhibition, Pursuit of Fiction, Kathrin Kur will be in
conversation with David Campany, an artist, writer and Reader of Photography
at University of Westminster whose publications include Art and Photography
(Phaidon) and Photography and Cinema (Reaktion Books)
Kathrin Kur’s images concentrate on the boundaries between familiarity and
privacy, and the making public of covert technologies. Pursuit of Fiction
documents television and cinema production spaces, which produce so much of
our collective reality. Kur’s photographs present the apparatus, facilities
and machinery of stage sets; their intrinsic strangeness and ‘separate
reality’. By focusing on the jamais-vu of these locations, rather than their
products - the fictions which have become so commonplace - these images
reveal an unreal constructed world.
