GUP #044
Theme: Raw
Let’s cut this to the quick. Only in a world fully saturated in half-truthed fabrications, glossy ideals and romanticized or villainized unknowns could we be drawn so hypnotically into the appeal of ‘the raw’. Maybe we’ve spent so much time in this postmodern house of mirrors that we got fooled by how realistic the reflection looks, and got all turned around.
As more and more photo projects are crowned ‘raw’ – seemingly one of the highest compliments today - we decided to open our own investigation into the murky depths of art that aims to express a raw reality while trying to hack off the cuffs that hold it confined to that contaminated word ‘art’.
