Joseph Tomassini: ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?

In 'Are You not Entertained?' Luxembourg-born photographer Joseph Tomassini (b.1963) explores the fragility of our current existence. Between the crises of the Anthropocene age and the overabundance of information, despite all the doubts, flashes of love, hope, and tenderness are revealed again and again. In Are You not Entertained?, Luxembourg-born photographer Joseph Tomassini (b.1963) explores the fragility of our current existence. Among the tangled undergrowth of promise and emptiness, and the search for meaning and existential disquiet, he distills a space for openness and reflection from photography and language. His images are not snapshots for the information flood that characterises the digital age, but rather peaceful fragments that invite the viewer to pause. These images are juxtaposed with texts based on press headlines that have been transformed into lyrical form with the help of AI. The resulting story emerges in an intimate way while addressing universal conflict issues. Between the crises of the Anthropocene age and the overabundance of information, despite all the doubts, flashes of love, hope, and tenderness are revealed again and again.
