Late Intimacy

The exhibition Late Intimacy responds to the pressure to disclose private matters that intimacy currently faces. This pressure is evident in both the mass media and social networks, which are programmed to exploit the need for social acceptance and reward, and is also present in the hidden monitoring and analysis of our behavior in physical and digital space. We are increasingly aware that the ultimate goal of this pressure is to obtain material that can be exploited commercially or politically. Therefore, the importance of responsibility for how we treat the private and intimate in art is also growing. The main intention of the exhibition is to explore the range of strategies that contemporary photographers use in relation to relationality and intimacy. Their approaches always reflect the delicacy of the subject they have chosen to address, and the exhibition itself explores the space that arises between deliberate vagueness, cautious treading, metaphoricality, and respect for what remains hidden and inaccessible to perfect knowledge.
