Real/ Unreal 2018

Our first year: in association with the Fringe Arts Bath (FaB), we established and developed a Bath Photography Festival. The aim was to promote and encourage creative photography.

Real/Unreal

Every day, we wake up and are bombarded and overwhelmed with images via news channels, social media, advertising posters, signs and product labels. These images can inspire us, make us question and influence us. But are these images we view doctored and manipulated? What are they portraying, a truth or a false truth?

The invention of photography saw images altered by early pioneers. The medium lends itself to many editing processes, allowing photographers to change the narrative and a viewer’s perception.

Always remember and never forget that the unreal is so very real.
