Experience a groundbreaking installation by Belgian artist Mishka Henner, projected onto the south side wall of the Visual Arts Building. This exhibition features over 3,000 phrases that encapsulate the essence of one of the most democratic and pervasive art forms—photography. Each phrase, deliberately stripped from its original context, mirrors the ambiguous and often deceptive nature of photographs themselves. The result is a tapestry of words that is at once contradictory, chaotic, frustrating, and profoundly insightful.

"Photography is Latent" challenges viewers to engage with the medium in a novel way, without the presence of actual photographs. By presenting these fragmented texts, Henner invites us to contemplate the underlying meanings and assumptions embedded within photographic images. This thought-provoking display encourages a deeper reflection on how we perceive, interpret, and trust visual information in an era where images are ubiquitous and their authenticity is often questioned.

Join us for a unique and contemplative exploration of photography through language, where the absence of images sharpens our focus on the power and complexity of the photographic medium
