BEHIND THE IMAGE | THE IMAGE BEHIND
STUK arts centre Leuven
An exhibition, performances and concerts by artists with different
backgrounds meet at the Artefact festival for media art.
Behind the Image | The Image behind (on covering and uncovering media)
presents work that investigates what’s hidden or invisible behind images.
The technological and ideological/political dimensions are often strongly
connected. A medium or technology can both cover and reveal by using the
very same mechanisms, but images inevitably show and hide at the same
time.
In the STUK pavilion space special attention is paid to transitional texts
and images, mutating codes and messages or images hidden in other
images.
We often feel the urge to modify somebody else’s images, place them in a
different context. We interpret or reinterpret, manipulate or destroy
them.
An image, as such, is never finished or absolute. It is always
changing...
Artefact is initiated by provincie Vlaams-Brabant
