Diablo, devil in English and ‘accuser’ in ancient Greek, represents the fallen angel in Abrahamic religions. In modern culture, its has become an allegory for menace and the malevolent alter-ego, which the artists in this exhibition explore through photography. Is it a journey into the depth of consciousness, where guilt, transgression and temptation lie?

Gillian McIver is a Canadian artist based in London. Starting out as a photographer, she began to work with experimental film and video making, and site-specific installation art. She has exhibited widely in the UK and internationally. “I am interested in revealing images which are very strong; that offer a glimpse of past worlds and indistinct realities; where the boundaries between fiction and documentary blur, and memories take on a life of their own.” www.artsite.org.uk
Cesar G Serpa studied painting in London, and photography in Italy, before moved to Maracay, Venezuela in 2004. Back in his home country, he focused on experimental photography, developing his own style and technique using light and exposure. www.cezargserpa.com
