FLUX – In and Out of Focus

Curated by Liz Ikiriko

FLUX – In and Out of Focus presents artists that are exploring lens-based or lens-influenced practices. These works explore the intersections of personal and cultural histories, examining the traces they leave on both the land and the body. Through landscape, movement studies, fragmented collage, and ephemeral, dreamlike abstractions, the collection offers poignant and compelling reflections on our present moment.
