About the Event
Marie Lawrence/ Phoebe Rouse / Lily Rose Claypole / Cherry Mitchell / Fionn Walker
Being is an Empty Fiction aims to question the nature of existence. In suggesting that what we perceive as real or concrete may ultimately be insubstantial or illusory, this exhibition aims to challenge the conventional understanding of reality. Rooted in the philosophical traditions of existentialism, nihilism, and postmodernism, the works aim to destabilize the viewer’s sense of certainty about existence by encouraging a deeper contemplation of what it means to be.
Opening event is 5pm, Wednesday 17 July.
Exhibition runs til Friday 26 July.
The Ilam Campus Gallery Student Series is an annual showcase of some of the current practices at the Ilam School of Fine Arts at the University of Canterbury. Being is an Empty Fiction is the first of five short exhibitions that form the 2024 Student Series.
