Overview:
Taking photographs does not necessarily mean showing them to others. But when it comes to exhibiting photographs, what possibilities are available?
As a medium, photography is materially fragile, and in the age of generative images, its sense of authenticity appears more uncertain than ever. Within this context, how can photographs be arranged and presented in exhibitions?
This lecture explores various strategies for exhibiting photography, focusing primarily on exhibitions from the past decade, including those from KG+ 2024, while also examining several historically significant exhibitions.
