The Constructed Image Exhibition

© Kevin Kunstadt, “All (my) eyes on me,” @toomanyphotosintheworld
There are days in which everything is tinted with a shade of artifice: our routines in society, our public personas, and even our internal worlds and experiences. The Constructed Image exhibition explores artifice in contemporary photography and society, weaving a tapestry of images threaded together by the act of staging for the lens. Featuring over 70 artists working in still-life and tableau photographs — curated from 260 global submissions — the show celebrates the creative freedom found in staging the photographic moment.
Thank you to everyone who submitted their impactful constructed images. The quality, labor, and diversity of the work were a thrill to experience.
I hope you enjoy this collection of photographs as much as I did sequencing them.
