Rubber Factory is pleased to present Recto Verso, a solo exhibition of work by Tal Barel.
Recto Verso is a systematic archive constructed to serve a questionable inner logic. The installation is composed of an array of materials, objects, and images arranged and displayed alongside each other. Pointing at different sign systems while adopting the format of one, Recto Verso evokes reflection about the mediums and practices through which the world is consequently altering correlations and links between different units. Their framing within rectangular spaces alludes to the way in which we often encounter the world through imagery.
Tal Barel’s work is motivated by a longstanding interest in the institutions and the practices that shape our understanding of the world, with an emphasis on the history of photographic practice as a means for empirical research. She examines the possibility of the existence of truth, questioning aspects of visual representation and the construction of historical narratives.
