Magical Surfaces: The Uncanny in Contemporary Photography at Parasol Unit

Written By Richy Lamb

The Art Channel visits an exhibition investigating the 'Uncanny' in Art Photography. We look at the sensation of both strangeness and familiarity in an image. Focussing on individual works by Sonja Braas, David Claerbout, Julie Monaco and Joel Sternfeld, the film explores how 'magical surfaces' arise from photographs which are animated, invented and staged.
