Résumé:
The hour of twilight expresses the limit between the familiar and the unknown; the comfortable and the dangerous - an uncertain threshold between hope and fear. This otherworldly quality has inspired artists, who strive to record and replicate the ambiguity of the moment between night and day. At dusk, the colour and quality of light changes rapidly and dramatically and is therefore a significant and poignant time for photographers in particular. In recent years, an increasing number of artists have photographed in the twilight hour to explore its optical effects and psychological implications. This exhibition will focus on contemporary photography and video and is the first to explore the theme of twilight in this way. It will include work by both established and emerging artists from around the world including Philip-Lorca di Corcia, Gregory Crewdson, Bill Henson, Robert Adams, Chrystel Lebas, Liang Yue and Ori Gersht.
