Janus. Photography's Double Face: Works від Permanent Collection 3

This exhibition, consisting of works created in or after 1990 and selected from the museum's collection, attempts to reflect not only the new paradigm that has emerged in contemporary art but also how it has gradually worked its way into the collection. Janus: The Double Face of Photography takes its name from the mythological Roman god who was represented by two faces looking in opposite directions, symbolising change and transition. The name of Janus has been used as a metaphor for the transformation of photography, arrayed in a series of dichotomies: analogue/ digital, negative/ positive, monochrome/ colour, reality/ fiction, creation/ manipulation and documentary/ artistic. The exhibition is divided into three thematic sections where the critical perspectives of the different artists converge: architecture, nature and people. A political dimension ties them together and connects with the viewing public.
