Imatges latents: la fotografia en transició

Since the early 19th century, the evolution of photography has been linked to technological innovations, scientific advances, and progress in communications, but photographic production was only available to a minority. From the moment that the generation and dissemination of images became available to everyone, photography took on another dimension and began to play a more active role in our lives and in the public and collective sphere.

Contemporary society has forged an eminently visual culture: what the camera captures goes beyond reality. Artificial intelligences outside our bodies can shape our gaze. What has happened to what photography revealed, to the latency of time hidden within it? The oversaturation of images to which we are exposed has made us realize that now photographs make us, rather than us making them. Post-photography is already here, and we will have to engage with it.
