Group exhibition of the 25 selected photographs from the competition Photometria Awards 2024, Constructed Realities with critic Martin Parr. The exhibition entitled “Constructed Realities” endeavors to present a comprehensive examination of the intricate interplay between perception and reality as depicted through the medium of photography. In an era characterized by an increasing mediation of perceptions and a blurring of the boundaries delineating reality, this exhibition seeks to provide a nuanced elucidation of the multifaceted nature of human understanding. Through a curated selection of photographic works, viewers are invited to delve into the complexities inherent in the construction and interpretation of reality. Photography, with its inherent capacity to capture and manipulate narratives, serves as a potent vehicle for the exploration of these themes. In the contemporary digital landscape, where the proliferation of social media and advancements in artificial intelligence challenge traditional notions of truth, the medium assumes an even greater significance. The exhibited works interrogate the phenomenon of directed photography, wherein perceptions are consciously shaped and realities carefully constructed. Additionally, viewers are transported into surreal dreamworlds, where the boundaries of reality are blurred, offering tantalizing glimpses into alternate dimensions of existence. Furthermore, the exhibition critically examines the role of media propaganda in shaping public perceptions, highlighting the pervasive influence of images as tools for the dissemination of ideologies and the manipulation of truths. “Constructed Realities” serves as a testament to the enduring power of photography as a means of inquiry and expression, inviting viewers to engage in a contemplative dialogue on the nature of reality and the intricacies of human perception. Through an exploration of these constructed realities, viewers are encouraged to interrogate their own understanding of truth and illusion, thus fostering a deeper appreciation for the complexities inherent in the human experience.
