CANCELLED: Artist Talk with Eva & Franco Mattes
In view of the measures taken by the authorities due to the current developments in connection with the corona virus, this event will not take place. No events will take place on site at the Centre for Photography until further notice.
In conversation with Doris Gassert, co-curator of the exhibition, the artist duo Eva & Franco Mattes will provide insights into their work.
Funny cat pics with creepy captions shared on social media, digital images that circulate unseen through the internet’s infrastructure or anonymous workers hired online to both create and remove morally dubious web content: Eva & Franco Mattes (both b. 1976) have been investigating the internet’s effects on the ethics and politics of our daily lives since the 1990s, reflecting on how networked images increasingly interfere with and define our private and social behaviour. In the process, the artist duo dissects the opaque mechanisms of our networked society, its infrastructures and forms of online spectatorship – holding up a mirror to the viewer in a manner that is at the same time unsparing and darkly humorous. Fotomuseum Winterthur presents the artists’ first monographic exhibition in the museum context, showing new works that have been created for the purpose.
The event takes place in English.
Subject to change due to the current situation.
