This exhibition is part of her The Real and the Fake project, where Hart juxtaposes obviously virtual images with photographs. While visually the distinction between the virtual and the photograph is obvious, the interpretation of what represents "real" or "fake" is not so obvious. A segment of her exhibition places detailed and intricate photographs of industrialized foods against computer generated apples, in an attempt to question ourselves as to what real or fake truly represents.
In this particular segment of her The Real and Fake project, Hart reflects on Gertrude Stein's line "Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose" from her poem Sacred Emily and contemplates the denial of death in her exhibition. A very interesting exhibit to browse for those of us that are interested in photography as a tool in multimedia.
The exhibition opens on on October 25th and will be shown until December 3rd.
The Bitforms gallery is located on 529 West 20th St.
