Janenne Eaton’s work is critically engaged with some of the most pressing humanitarian and cultural debates shaping our lives today.
This retrospective exhibition explores Eaton’s engagement with environmental, historical, and political concerns, and the impact of a globalised digital world. Her powerful images contemplate some of the intangible complexities of the human condition and incorporate key signifiers of our consumer-led, information-obsessed society to deliver commentary on how we live and our changing relationships to time, space and place. Eaton’s practice remains as urgent and thought-provoking as ever.
