The intersection of photography and computer-generated images was perhaps one of the quickest encounters of the modern form as well as one of the most troubling. Photography, in a reductive matter of speaking, captures a shot of reality\u2014an object, a person, a place, a time\u2014but computer generation, inherently a contrived endeavour, can more and more powerfully influence and fabricate this display of reality. In Stan Douglas\u2019 Revealing Narratives series, he has easily and captivatingly toyed with time at a casual glance and dug deep into the layers of both mediums upon inspection.<\/p>\n

Stan Douglas is a Vancouver artist of world renown, his work presented from the MoMa to the National Gallery of Canada, presented from Centre Pompidou to the Haus der Kunst. Through his examination across mediums and cultural, and social facets, Douglas is driven by a \u201cfascination with the mechanic of representation.\u201d Purportedly inspired by the legendary theatre artist Samuel Beckett, his work is a simple but striking mirror of the fallacies and failings of modern life.<\/p>\n
