Poiēsis Collective are a group of younger-generation artists whose work is centered in photography and Lens-based art. Aftertaste presents works centered on the active process through which the images we absorb – and the ways images absorb us – shape our understanding and engagement with the world. The artists in the exhibition explore photography as an act of consumption, desire, and capital, manifested in tourism, advertisement, archives, health care, and photographic material waste.
