Screen Intervention: Geraldine Juárez, The fish don't see the water

PhotoIreland Festival

Part of the current exhibition SITUATIONS The Right to Look and PhotoIreland Festival 2020: ON/OFF

6pm Sun 19 July (Irish time)Screen Intervention: Geraldine Juárez, The fish don&#x27;t see the waterMexican and Swedish artist Geraldine Juárez critically assembles the history of the Google Cultural Institute in relation to colonial and imperial practices of prospecting, documenting and exhibiting, which are crucial to render the imaginaries that consolidated power of the West and its institutions. Her screen intervention The fish don’t see the water Juárez contextualises the data-prospecting of art historical collections and its architectures executed by the Google Culture Institute in the form of philanthropy, thus mirroring the very practices from which they emerged. Starting from the premise that exhibition formats equal a process of essayistic compilation, Juárez combines her performance PROSPEKT (2018) with other imaging essays as an artistic approach to institutional criticism, which dislocates potential of digital imaging and undermines the concept of the world-as-a-digital-exhibition._____________________________________________As part of the current exhibition <a href="https://www.fotomuseum.ch/en/explore/situations/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">SITUATIONS The Right to Look</a> and <a href="http://2020.photoireland.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">PhotoIreland Festival 2020: ON/OFF</a>, the curatorial team of Fotomuseum Winterthur in collaboration with PhotoIreland, invited the artists <a href="https://geraldine.juarez.se/site/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Geraldine Juárez</a> (19th July) and <a href="http://www.mariosantamaria.net/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Mario Santamaría</a> (11th July) to critically look at the hidden power dynamics behind the Google Arts &amp; Culture Project, as well as the perpetuation and reinforcement of Western capitalist and colonial gazes which continue to shape knowledge formation.
