Four portfolios of Rokni Haerizadeh's Fictionvile series are included in the exhibition Media Networks, displaying works from Tate Modern’s permanent collection examining how artists have responded to the impact of mass media and the ever-changing technologies that shape our world.
The invention of photography prompted speculation about the future of painting and whether this ancient medium remained relevant. But nearly two hundred years later, artists continue to explore the possibilities of making images with paint. For many, the flood of images from film, television, newspapers, social media and the internet has proved rich material for exploring the nature of representation.
