About
As the social, emotional and welfare costs of Alzheimer’s disease gain prominence, and with the Alzheimer’s Society prediction of one million sufferers by 2025, exploring the ways in which the disease affects the lives and daily habits of the sufferers and those around them becomes an ever more important task. Responding to this, O3 Gallery, in association with The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH) at the University of Oxford, present That Other Place; an exhibition exploring Alzheimer’s disease in its various neuropathological manifestations, from the dual perspectives of sufferer and carer.
The reduction in language faculties characteristic of the most common types of Alzheimer’s means that imagery becomes an important (though compromised and diminishing) repository of memory, expression and subjectivity.That Other Place showcases the work of a series of artists working within this theme via the medium of photography and film.
