The exhibition, to be launched at 6 p.m., takes place at the Riga Art Space and features about a dozen of photo artists from across the world, but mostly Europe. The photos and videos in the exhibition probe the topics of the day using visual means.
"The story is about the human beings of 21st century – who steadily endeavour to order everything in digital systems and prefer to partake in information wars only. The range of issues covered in the exhibition includes several aspects of identity – body, gender, social and historical identity. In their work artists have approached the same question from many angles: how do our emotional responses such as feelings, pain and empathy adjust to the technological space of today?" the organizers say.
The exhibition runs until May 13. Read more about the featured artists HERE.
