Is This Faux Real?

Is This Faux Real?

In this age of constant image-making and instant shareability, how do we draw the line between the real and the image? Artist Ivan Lam examines this idea in his exhibition “FAUX”, where oil painting, still-life, and interestingly, Whatsapp images come together to question what is real and what is a copy - and what this says about the way we relate to the world today. We speak with Lam on the process behind putting the exhibition together.
