Evidence and The Visible surveys the arts practice of Catherine Rogers, whose photographs are marked by curiosity, humour, erudition, and strong aesthetic motivations. One of Roger’s early series investigated diverse techniques established by pioneering photographers in the nineteenth century resulting in an array of highly plausible fakes, questioning a photograph’s claims to truth, its captions and titles.
Much of her photography relates to landscape. Her seascapes glory in the splendour of the silver halide medium, accentuating the cleft of the horizon line between ocean and sky.
