PHOTO ELYSÉE presents Tamara Janes ‘Set and Setting’ – playfully exploring the bounderies of visual culture
With ‘Set and Setting’, the museum PHOTO ELYSÉE is presenting the first institutional solo exhibition of Swiss artist Tamara Janes. In her work, Janes intensively addresses the topic of authorship, the very concept of the author and with it copyright – an area in which attorneys often have the final word today. She explores this topic particularly in her series ‘Copyright Swap’, illuminating the issue it raises and its sheer endless implications in an age of digital tools that are increasingly muddying the waters.
A large part of the exhibition shows bodies of work Janes made after researching the New York Public Library Picture Collection in 2018. It acts as a source of images for her, which she later organizes, adjusts, recontextualizes and modifies based on her artistic preferences. With her unique blend of high culture and popular culture sources, Janes captivates audiences and playfully exposes both profound and mundane aspects of contemporary visual culture. Tamara Janes was awarded the Swiss Design Prize in 2023 for the series.
