Sometimes there is a fine line between fact and fable.
“Immoral Fact & Fables” presents the work of fifteen artists who use fable imagery and fictitious characters to investigate forms of modern life and identity. The artists included in the exhibition, work in a variety of media and techniques such as photography, installation, computer generated animation and collage. A modern course, the exhibition contains haunting images of darkness and ambiguous space (Edgar Martins, Alfonso Brezmes, Robert Gligorov), solitary figures (Nadine Rennert, Sunil Gupta), references to childhood (Sarah Small, Meghan Boody), mythical creatures (Tae Hun Kang, Yun-Sun Jung), multiple attributes to fable and tale (Chul-Hyun Ahn, Li Wei, Stehn Raupach, Tae Hun Kang).
Traditionally fable and moral are not separable. They strive for the improvement of human conduct, at discovering personal and social identities. The modern day fable foregoes moral, the common sense is missing. The work of these artists communicates culture as operating between the real and the imagined, past and present time. By doing so, they question the ongoing process of myth-making and story-telling.
