Apparently, This Happened

Duo exhibition by Epiphany Knedler and Roberto Solomita

In Apparently, This Happened, Epiphany Knedler and Roberto Solomita explore how photographs shape our understanding of the past, and how easily the stories they tell can be questioned.

In The Specifics Might Be Vague, Knedler works with family photographs inherited from her grandparents. By blurring, pixelating and altering parts of these images, she draws attention to what has been lost, forgotten or changed in family memories. Her work asks how much we can really know about the past from photographs, especially when our recollections are incomplete.

In The Disappearance of Harry Kipper, Solomita follows the traces of an artist who never existed. The character was invented as part of a hoax by the Luther Blissett Project, which led Italian television programme Chi l’ha visto? to investigate his supposed disappearance. Solomita photographs the places associated with this fictional journey, making an invented story look like a real one.

Although their approaches differ, both artists show how photographs can make uncertain stories seem convincing. Knedler revisits images tied to personal memories, while Solomita creates photographs of events that never happened. Together, their works invite us to look more carefully at what photographs show, and at what we assume to be true.
