This event has ended.

Dillon Gallery presetns “Seven Stories,” a survey of the last 6 years of Cristina De Middel’s conceptual approach towards visual storytelling. Though recognized as a rising figure in photography, her approach to the medium is more aligned to filmmaking than documentary or classic fine art photography. Building on her experience as a photojournalist, De Middel has become increasingly attracted to the eccentric lines of storytelling, avoiding conventional subject matter told in conventional ways. In her art, De Middel respects the basis of truth but breaks the rules of veracity in order to push the audience into challenging the patterns of the stories we unquestioningly consume and believe. De Middel states that she has “the conviction that contemporary issues should be described in a way that includes the agent’s traditions, perspectives, fears and hopes.” Larger-than life stories and expeditions are retold through a personal narrative, often full of humor, always calling into question the deeper issues at hand.
