On Saturday, November 6th, 6-11pm, Projections of Reality showcases the work of nine photographers who challenge the conventions of visual narrative on the exterior of the Corcoran Gallery of Art.
The work is projected as part of the NightGallery DC program, the FotoWeek DC festival's initiative.
For NightGallery, Projections of Reality presents an eclectic selection of work by artists who share an intensely creative instinct for compelling stories:
Jan Bannings portraits of mid-level bureaucrats in eight different countries; Benjamin Lowys moving landscapes of torn, unstable places around the globe; issues of water scarcity by Balazs Gardi; blindness by Stefano de Luigi; interrogations in the Ukraine by Donald Weber; Thomas Dworzaks images of found Taliban portraits; Tim Hetheringtons enigmatic visions of sleeping soldiers on Afghanistans front line; the disastrous BP oil spill by Christopher Morris; and finally the monumental work on separation walls in conflict challenged parts of the world by Kai Wiedenhoefer.
Photographs are windows to our world and in profound ways allow us to cross emotional thresholds and enter and share the spaces, conditions, and lives of others. Each series is a world unto itself, each possessing its own urgency. We hope these images will provoke a vigorous dialogue among viewers as they engage with the issues reflected within says the shows curator James Wellford.
The Corcoran evening projection is open to the public! In addition to the Corcoran, the Projections of Reality will be shown at Dupont Circle and Satellite Central (M Street Georgetown).
Check out the program and schedule at FotoWeek DC website.
