The artist duo Eva & Franco Mattes will provide insight into their projects and working process.
Eva & Franco Mattes (both b. 1976 in Brescia, Italy/live and work in New York, USA) 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 artist talk will take place in English in the seminar room (Grüzenstrasse 45) of the Centre for Photography.
Due to the current situation, the number of participants is limited.
Admission: CHF 5.–
