Guided tour of the exhibition »Imagine Another Perspective« with curator Peggy Sue Amison and artist Mandy Barker
Tour will be in English.
The tour includes discussions on the works of all three artists of the exhibition Imagine Another Perspective, with an in-depth profile of Mandy Barker, an award-winning photographic artist and explorer. Barker’s work, involving marine plastic debris for over 15 years, has received global recognition. Collaborating with marine biologists and environmentalists, Barker raises awareness about plastic pollution in the world’s oceans, high-lighting the harmful effects on marine life, climate change, and ultimately ourselves – leading viewers to take action by considering their plastic use. Her work has been published in over 50 different countries and featured in respected journals such as National Geographic, TIME, The Guardian, The Financial Times, the Smithsonian, The New Scientist, The Explorer’s Journal, UNESCO, The British Journal of Photography, VOGUE, and the World Wildlife Fund. Her series SOUP specifically references the mass accumulation of plastic in the North Pacific Ocean known as the Garbage Patch.
The tour will also include discussions on the works of Miaja Tammi, an artist and researcher based in Helsinki who explores the threshold between mortality and immortality, science and art, through her photography and video works, and Caleb Charland, who uses photography to explore unseen energies around us. Charland combines his curiosity for science with a constructive approach to image-making, utilizing everyday objects and fundamental forces.
