Donigan Cumming: Diverting The Image presents for the first time Pretty Ribbons, a photograhic installation, along with components of two earlier works: The Mirror, The Hammer and The Stage as well as Reality and Motive in Documentary Photography. Audiences are thus given the opportunity to explore the richness of the artist's approach to the genre of portraiture. Through this project, we are asked to question a number of assumptions about photography's role in the representation of self, in the construction of version of reality, ans how factors external to the experience of viewing the photograph are mediated through the use of sound. Text in the book (written by Nicole Gingras).
