Installation view.
NEW YORK, NY
.-signs and symbols is presenting we tell ourselves stories in order to live, a two-person lens-based photography exhibition by Jen DeNike and Pola Sieverding. The exhibition reflects on storytelling; the artists lens becomes the ink that captures her fantastic stage and experiences in time.
We tell ourselves stories in order to live. We look for the sermon in the suicide, for the social or moral lesson in the murder of five. We interpret what we see, select the most workable of the multiple choices. We live entirely, especially if we are writers, by the imposition of a narrative line upon disparate images, by the ideas with which we have learned to freeze the shifting phantasmagoria which is our actual experience. Joan Didion, The White Album, 1979.
