Join Rachael Kane, Curator of Interpretation and Education, for small group tours of the exhibition Seeing is Not Believing: Ambiguity in Photography.

Many photographers play with ambiguities – creating images which question what is real. Perspective, lighting, and close-up details can radically distort the look of objects. These distortions can be both bewildering and delightful.

From the invention of photography in the 1830s, the camera has captured unexpected effects. Some photographers manipulated their images by using multiple negatives and special darkroom effects. Digital images are only the latest step in a long tradition of deception.

This exhibition explores photographs that make us question what we are looking at. Still lifes, abstract images, and manipulated photographs heighten our sense of wonder. Can we ever trust what we see in a photograph?

Tours are limited.
