Short description: The exhibition captures the metamorphosis of photography as artistic media in the dynamic environment of the past two decades influenced by sweeping political changes and technological development aimed at mass digitalization and the democratization of image media. The key question that the exhibition asks is what exactly happened with “photography” as art in those 20 years. It therefore does not focus on investigating all of the surviving genres of photography, but rather on the appearance of all of its new mutations which often exceed its present borders.
