The exhibition SEE/THE TIME/IN COLOUR. The challenges of photography looks at history of photography by examining the very nature of the medium, in the context of the major increase in digital images. In this investigation, Sam Stourdzé, the exhibition’s curator, draws on friction, hybridisation, contamination and confrontation, breaking down the boundaries of the discipline.
SEE/THE TIME/IN COLOUR. The Challenges of Photography recalls the importance of photography in the discovery of the world as we know it. Photography reveals, and, afterwards, we see it as something obvious, sometimes forgetting in the process that capturing the image of the world, beyond its political subjectivity, is also a technical challenge. Through three major figures, Constantin Brancusi, Harold Edgerton and Saul Leiter, the exhibition looks at some of the great triumphs of photography.
