Photo Exhibition at Galleri Kirke Sonnerup

Galleri Kirke Sonnerup will exhibit photographic works by 17 artists from September 10 to October 21, 2005. These artists have been selected across generations. All of the selected artists are currently active in the international art scene, working with photography in one way or another. The exhibition examines the concepts of "reality" and "real life," exploring photography as an objective depiction of reality.

Photography as a medium is a window to the world, a window opened by the photographer for us. Photography is subject to the artist's unique perspective, as it is filtered through the camera lens. At the same time, it is bound to reality and cannot entirely escape its anchoring in it. The artists in this exhibition do not use photography as documentation of reality, but rather as a representation of it. Photography has, since the early 1990s, been one of the most prominent media in the international art scene, and the gallery is especially proud to host one of the first such exhibitions in Denmark outside of major cities.

Sam Jedig is the curator of the exhibition and has also made a portion of his private collection available. Additionally, works have been borrowed from Danish collectors as well as newly created works sourced directly from the artists.

One of the primary goals of Galleri Kirke Sonnerup is to present high-quality art outside Copenhagen through four major annual exhibitions. The gallery has an exhibition space of 300 m².
