TITO’S PRIZE EXHIBITION
Fictions More Precious
by Rodell Warner
March 8 – April 20, 2024
Big Medium and Tito’s Handmade Vodka proudly present Fictions More Precious by Rodell Warner
Fictions More Precious features new and existing works from Rodell Warner’s Augmented Archive and Artificial Archive. In these works, the artist uses digital interventions in archival imagery to fictionalize the Caribbean’s past and interrogate the region’s photographic archive. Focusing on moments during photography’s infancy, a period shaped by the uneven power relations of colonialism, the artist interrogates, troubles, and laments the validity of the power of that archive.
