Press Release
Public Gallery is pleased to present Camera Obscura, a group exhibition of painting, sculpture, installation and video. Engaging themes of theatricality, illusion, doubling and decoys, the exhibition probes the mechanics of image-making – its title referencing an optical device that functions by projecting an image both upside-down and reversed into a darkened chamber. Used historically as a drawing aid, the camera obscura helped artists trace projected images with greater perspective and accuracy, and served as an important precursor to the photographic camera. In attempting to render the real, it produces an inversion, evidencing the inherent mediation of all images. With these ideas in mind, the artists in this exhibition employ strategies that challenge the authenticity of an image, often referencing the art historical canon, and privileging trickery, manipulation, deception and artifice in their works.
