Feels Real (Yoga)
DESCRIPTION
In a consumer culture heavy on advertising imagery, what value do images hold? What sets fine art apart from its soulless cousin, commercial photography? In a throw-away society, what's more valuable, the product or the image of the product? Has our consumption of produced imagery altered our perception of reality? AUTHOR
Peter Barnett is a photographer and multimedia artist exploring the "constructed image" and its function in contemporary culture. He has shown work in New York, Los Angeles and Prague.
