"Taking pictures of people Taking pictures of" is an artistic and social critique of contemporary culture, particularly the way smartphones and social media contribute to Guy Debord's concept of 'The Society of the Spectacle'. It highlights the modern obsession with representation and appearance over authentic direct experience. The exhibition will not only be the official launch of the book, but several of Fielding's artistic interpretations will be on public display and available for purchase. There is also a sale of used and collectable art books running at the same venue. Thursday May 28th 11am - Tuesday June 2nd 2026 Bottleworks 8 Riverside Walk, Byker, Newcastle upon Tyne NE6 1LX
