Heresies/Herejias: A Retrospective by Pedro Meyer
Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art
October 5, 2008-January 18, 2009
Pedro Meyer's Heresies is a retrospective comprising four decades of groundbreaking work by one of the world's most innovative photographers. Mexican photographer Pedro Meyer is as renowned for his powerful and provocative photographs as he is for his pioneering work with digital imaging. Meyer's photographs consistently test the limits of truth, fiction and reality. With the advent of digital photography in the early 1990s, Meyer evolved from a documentary photographer who created so-called 'straight photographs' into a digital-documentarian who often combines photographic elements from disparate times and places to arrive at a different or higher truth. Meyer's often expressed contention that all photographs - digitally manipulated or not - are equally 'true' and 'untrue' has been labeled 'heretical' in the orthodox documentary photography community. Hence, the title Heresies. The Heresies exhibition - opening simultaneously in 100 museums worldwide in October 2008 - will also create a revolutionary new paradigm for exhibiting photographs in museums.
