Theatres of the real

Group exhibition. Theatres of the Real presented photography from eight British-based artists whose works extend and redefine a tradition of British documentary photography. Straddling the boundaries between fact and fiction, the works in the exhibition created a hallucinatory and critically engaged vision of contemporary Britain. This exhibition and publication explored the relation between documentary and studio based approaches to photography in dialogue with the major exhibition Street and Studio at Tate Modern (2009)
