Kendell Geers is one of the most radical and influential artists of his generation, known for exploring the fault lines of language, history and power. His work disrupts conventional narratives, forcing audiences to confront the contradictions of art, politics and culture.
The Treason of Images is not just an exhibition, but a manifesto for a world in crisis, where images, words and ideologies have become weapons in the ongoing struggle for meaning.
The title of the exhibition refers to Magritte’s iconic painting, in which a picture of a pipe is undermined by the text Ceci n’est pas une pipe. Geers draws our attention to the title itself rather than the image. How can a picture be a betrayal? In a world where images generated by artificial intelligence, deepfakes and manipulated media shape our reality, this question has never been more pressing.
