The exhibition Jason DeMarte: Garden of Artificial Delights invites viewers to journey into a visually stunning, though deeply unsettling, world in which flowers, birds, and insects are doused in glossy cake icing while candy rains down from ominous skies. In this immersive installation of photographs and wallpaper, Michigan-based photographer Jason DeMarte assembles hyperreal images of local wildlife and plantlife deluged by sugary foodstuffs. Join the artist and UMMA Assistant Curator of Photography Jennifer Friess for a conversation about the layers of meaning in these enticing yet enigmatic works.
