Description: The complex relationship between image and reality has long been one of the most important topics in art.0In this exhibition, the National Museum shows works from the last four decades by close to forty prominent artists. Using a variety of approaches, they all address the surfeit of images we see all around us.0The visual deluge that supposedly represents our lives, our times, our world. News clips, holiday snaps, flickers from the depths of the internet. A fragmented intermediate world, half illusion, half reality. Excerpts and selections. And in the midst of it all: glimpses of truth. Images with the power to change the world.00Exhibition: Nasjonalgalleriet, Oslo, Norway (09.02.-13.05.2018).
Notes: Published to accompany an exhibition held at the Nasjonalmuseet for kunst, arkitektur og design, Oslo, 9th February-13th May, 2018.
