image-event, curated by Will Vetch, will be showing from November 9 to December 6, at the Inspection Pit, East Harting, with a private view on Friday, November 8, from 6–9 pm to celebrate the occasion.
image-event is an exhibition presented by image-event: a dialogue between artists Tanoa Sasraku (b. 1995) and Anastasia Xirouchakis (b. 1994), curated by Will Vetch (b. 1996).
‘Image-event’ is a phrase referring to Jean Baudrillard's philosophical investigations into photography and the image.
Baudrillard examines the image—as in photography, television and the internet—as a disconnection from reality. The image has been severed from the real world taking on its own reality, blurring the lines between truth and simulation. image-event explores themes surrounding memory, particularly in relation to both implanted memory and truthfulness.
