Now You Have Authority is hosting a series of shows at The Flying Dutchman in Camberwell, London. Working across a variety of themes, 17 artists will display sculptures, installations, photographs, projections and more over the course of three consecutive Tuesday nights in May (10, 17, and 24).
Now you have Authority is a collective of five artists questioning Photography’s role as a medium of representational expression. Their work places emphasis on the process of creation and expression in place of the end result. Photography is, and has been an authoritative institution that refuses to evolve or refashion itself beyond its representational heritage. NYHA examines notions of failure and non-representation as a visual artefact in place of a binary approach to the creation of a piece of work. Our staunch refusal to be tagged as “simply photographers” espouses this belief in which the viewer is left in a state of flux as opposed to finding an answer in our works.
