Screen Walk with Stefan Karrer
About this film
Stefan Karrer took the audience through a tour of the legendary Calypso Cave, through its representation on Instagram and other online platforms. His image collection spans more than 10 years of posts tagged #calypsocave that document the unofficial “relocation” of the legend of Calypso to a nearby cave in Malta. Through different readings of these photographs and their accompanying captions, the artist reveals how the logics of influencer visual culture modify reality and create a new myth within a myth. Screen Walks is a new series of live-streamed artist/researcher-led explorations of online spaces and artistic strategies designed to illuminate a thriving – often overlooked – digital cultural scene. A new online collaboration between The Photographers’ Gallery , UK and Fotomuseum Winterthur , Switzerland.
