Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin are artists based in London. Their work, explores how truth is presented through our media, particularly via the photographic image. Working with photographic archives, often adopting and questioning techniques of photo-journalism, their practice incorporates text, montage, found-footage, photography and performance in order to reveal the hidden power relations that are used to manipulate apparently ‘reliable’ imagery.
