Dominic Hawgood : Under The Influence

20 Feb-7 Mar 2015

Overview

TJ Boulting is pleased to present 'Under The Influence', a solo show by visual artist Dominic Hawgood, winner of the British Journal of Photography's International Photography Award for a series. 'Under The Influence' explores the blurring of boundaries between fact and fiction, the real and the fake, transforming or subverting what we understand through images and iconography, questioning what we see at face value. In recent years Hawgood has used the religious ritual as a starting point for his explorations, and this series encapsulates in particular performative gestures and objects relating to exorcism ceremonies, held in predominantly African communities in London's evangelical churches.
