Contemporary Image Collective (CIC) 22 Abdel Khalek Tharwat St, 4th Floor, Downtown, Cairo, Tel 2396 4272 "Objects in Mirror are Closer than they Appear", the film and video works in this exhibition expose the fracture between what we are shown on screen and what we see. Borrowing from various cinematic conventions, as well as formats including lecture, documentary, rehearsal and found footage, they examine the limits of our imagination and credulity. With a variety of approaches, their references move between the black boxes of movie theatres and the 'black mirrors' of our TV screens, computers and smart phones. The exhibition blurs the boundary between depiction and deception and questions the logic of storytelling. Does the illusive charm of the moving image undermine its authority as a visual record? And what role does the viewer's imagination play in constructing a narrative?The show explores the tension between image, narrative and the viewer's perception. It brings together works by seven international artists: Herman Asselberghs, Manon de Boer, Sherif Al-Azma, Patricia Esquivias, Lars Laumann, Maha Maamoun, and Ján Mančuška(Closing 12 June).
