| Description: |
These essays present images and analysis that cover the period from the invention of photography to digital technology. They reveal how photographs have acted as sites through which the subjective experience of space and time is expressed and shaped. |
| Synopsis: |
The advent of photography opened up new worlds to 19th century viewers, who were able to visualize themselves and the world beyond in unprecedented detail. But the emphasis on the photography's objectivity masked the subjectivity inherent in deciding what to record, from what angle and when. This text examines this inherent subjectivity. Drawing on photographs that come from personal albums, corporate archives, commercial photographers, government reports and which were produced as art, as record, as data, the work shows how the photography shaped and was shaped by geographical concerns. |
