Museum Folkwang presents (Mis)Understanding Photography Ever - TopicsExpress



          

Museum Folkwang presents (Mis)Understanding Photography Ever since its invention 175 years ago, artists have consistently questioned the nature of photography. Today artists acutely aware of the omnipresence of photographic images produce works exploring numerous aspects of photography: its materiality, its popularism, its psychological impact, its claims to objectivity, and its force in mass media. Against a familiar backdrop of the accelerating disappearance of analog photography and the simultaneously triumphal progress of digital photography, these works explore new ways of re-picturing and inhabiting that history. (Mis)Understanding Photography presents a history of photography wild and ironic, melancholic and resolved at the same time it sets sights on the old longings and obsessions that people still connect with the camera. e-flux/announcements/misunderstanding-photography/
