The work of celebrated English artist, photographer, and filmmaker Alison Jackson is coming to Athens for the first time in an exhibition entitled “Alison Jackson in Retrospect: Seeing is Deceiving” at the Pallas Theatre foyer from December 2-9, ANA reports.
An English contemporary BAFTA and multi-award-winning artist, Jackson’s work explores the theme of celebrity culture and whether it is possible to believe what we see in a world seen through a medium of screens, images, and the internet.
Jackson is presenting – for the first time worldwide – works from her “Disaster Series” in an interplay with her previous and newer work, depicting our phobic fantasies in a world of constant terror, which is made worse by the horrific news broadcast by the media on a 24-hour basis. She also presents a video that she directed for the 40-year anniversary of the British band, Duran Duran.
The exhibition has no charge for admission and is open at the following times:
Thursday, December 2, 10:00 – 18:30
Friday, December 3, 10:00 – 18:30
Sunday, December 5, 10:00 – 17:30
Tuesday, December 7, 10:00 – 18:30
Wednesday, December 8, 10:00 – 17:30
Thursday, December 9, 10:00 – 18:30
