Derek Ogbourne’s Museum of Optography, The Purple Chamber

Overview

Join Dr. Hamden as he delves into the compelling themes underpinning London-based Artist Derek Ogbourne’s exhibition, the Museum of Optography. Ogbourne’s multifaceted installation blurs the line between fact and fiction, and grapples with subjects such as life and mortality, the surreal and the sublime, vision and landscape, and the intersections between art, history and science. A Psychologist by profession, Dr. Hamden will focus his talk on the psychology of visual perception, exploring the characteristics universally shared by all humans and the variations that result from subjective experiences.
