Ad text
When the first photograph was exposed for eight hours on an asphalt-coated tin plate in 1826, no one could have imagined how commonplace photography would one day become for us. And although we have long since entered the post-photographic age, we are accompanied by the quiet suspicion that not all the secrets surrounding photography have yet been revealed. 📸 Six artists pick up the trail of such potential secrets: Pascal Petignat (@pascal.petignat) and Martin Scholz search for chemical stains in the house of the inventor of photography, Nicéphore Niépce, Peter Schreiner (@peter_____sch ) elicits hidden details from a sober Instructional Photography, Gregor Schmoll reveals the studio as an empty container filled with works, Isabelle le Minh (@isabelleleminh) stages overlooked details of the history of photography and apparatus, and Sebastian Riemer (@sebastianriemer) finally exposes the end of analog photography in discarded materials. They all tell stories about photography and shed light on the unknown. The works on display are not always photographs themselves, but in an intelligent, beautiful, and humorous way, they are works about a medium whose 200th birthday we are celebrating.
