TINA HAGE

PART I :
7-27 JANUARY 2010 | Opening Reception: Thursday 7th JANUARY 6-8pm

ARTIST STATEMENT:
In Tina Hage’s digital photography based practice, she is most interested in the relationship between the crowd and the individual and how they are represented in the mass media. She deploys contemporary photojournalistic and topical imagery from newspapers and the internet, which Tina reflects upon by using herself repetitively to re-enact the found scenes.
Once re-made, these images sometimes feel more ambiguous than the initial context of the image as although they still refer to the source, questions are raised about the real and the new context in which the piece now exists.
