Traditionally, it is assumed that photography is a process of image production; a means to an end. However, in an expanded sense, the critical potential of photography can also exist within the processes and apparatus that produce the image. The camera that takes the picture, the projector that displays the result and the labour that produces the print are just as photographic as the image itself. As these apparatuses are inextricably part of the process of photography, they are also fundamentally part of that which we deem photographic.
The works in this exhibition wil maintain a focused demonstration that photography, as a process, is not just a mode of image production but a critical tool with the ability to contain artistic inquiry within and around its technological and conceptual apparatus.
