Anastasia Shubina and Timofey Glinin at Kommunale Galerie Berlin during EMOP Berlin

The photography of Anastasia Shubina and Timofey Glinin (Glish Group) are on exhibit in Berlin at the “Parallel Realities” exhibition (details here) at Kommunale Galerie Berlin during EMOP Berlin – European Month of Photography.

Originally conceived as a tool to represent reality, photography ultimately gives a fragmented vision of it. Its dynamic ability to both reflect and shape reality places it in an ambiguous position that the exhibition will explore through multiple angles: the role of the photographer as an artist and its freedom to represent and recreate reality, the fabricated narratives embedded in the editing, omitting and selecting processes of image making, the influence of the viewer and the context in which pictures are received, the impact of new visual technologies partly fueled by AI learning, etc.

Jury and curators: Bénédicte Blondeau and Norbert Wiesneth

Exhibition dates: 22 February – 27 April 2025 (More info here)
Opening reception: 21 February 2025 at 6 PM
