Opis

Does a photograph freeze a moment of time? What does it mean to treat a photographic image as an artefact? In the 21st century, do new digital and social forms change the status of photography as archival or objective – or are they revealing something more fundamental about photography’s longstanding relationships with time and knowledge?
