The gallery and the artist were both contacted for this review, but neither commented. Strolling in the streets of Marylebone, a huge photograph […]

Review: Joan Fontcuberta’s ‘Stranger than Fiction’

One of our new writers, the photographer Dimitra Kountiou, visited Media Space to see Joan Fontcuberta’s new ‘Stranger than Fiction’ exhibition and spoke to the man himself afterward… “Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because fiction is obliged to stick to all possibilities; truth isn’t” Mark Twain.
