"Photo-Unrealism" at the New Orleans Museum of Art explores the history of the abstract, the unreal, and the surreal in photography from its origins to the present. This exhibition, which draws from the museum's permanent collection, shifts the focus away from photography’s reproductive qualities to its productive capacity: its ability to create fantastic images that disrupt our sense of the natural order of things.
This exhibition is on view through March 15, 2015.
