Facts, Fictions and Stories: Two Projects by Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin (2006-11-10 - 2007-02-25)
13th Nov 2006, 08:58 GMT
Facts, Fictions and Stories is the first solo exhibition in The Netherlands for Adam Broomberg (South Africa, b. 1979) and Oliver Chanarin (Great Britain, b. 1971). Stedelijk Museum CS presents two impressive projects by this pair of photographers, totalling more than 70 large-format photographs. Their most recent work, Chicago (2006), shows various aspects of the war and propaganda in Israel. The series Mr. Mkhizes Portrait (2004) casts a glance at South Africa ten years after the end of apartheid. The photographs (generally portraits) are combined with texts and interviews, and give us a convincing picture of the social changes and complexity of daily life in that country. Both projects are not only striking examples of photo reportage, but also make an important contribution to the discussions within documentary photography. The exhibition Facts, Fictions and Stories opens on Thursday, November 9, at 5:00 p.m. in Stedelijk Museum CS, and runs through February 25, 2007.
