When can we talk about the photographic and moving image as an agent? How can the image act and function in a time when many visual strategies have been disarmed or canonized?

With these questions as a starting point, the project “Between the Images” presents works in which artists explicitly use images to highlight or renegotiate political, social or aesthetic conventions.

In parallel to the digital revolution and the emergence of political theories that question the possibility for representation, a discussion has evolved that considers possibilities for the photographic and moving image to exist beyond depiction and documentation, which opens for new artistic strategies and applications.

Within the frame of “Between the Images”, through exhibitions, screenings, lectures, texts and discussions, we want to focus on the politics and possibilities of the image. With the starting point in a selection of contemporary as well as older works and with the film essay as a historical reference, “Between the Images” is a study of the image as negotiation today.
