Resolution - the Power
of Innuendo is a photographic exhibition that focuses on
the suggestion, as opposed to the spectacle of violence.
Exposed on a daily basis to violent images, the
photographic medium offers the viewer a safe space to witness
atrocities. The photograph had been used to capture, expose,
manipulate and sell violent realities, and in the process
desensitise the viewing public.
The relationships created
on the exhibition through the juxtaposition of artworks
investigates the ease at which images can be manipulated
through context. The works selected avoid spectacle in the
hopes that innuendo will draw the viewer into a space, where
they can engage openly with the content.
