Photography as "Pandora's Box"
Opening the Box: Five Notes on Another Photography is a thought-provoking exploration of photography beyond conventional boundaries. Expanding on the legacy of the exhibition La Boîte de Pandore, this book challenges traditional narratives by examining experimental, conceptual, and unconventional photographic practices. Through five distinct notes, it navigates the medium's history, from 19th-century scientific and artistic experiments to contemporary digital and material transformations. By moving beyond the binary divide between documentary and ontological approaches, it opens new perspectives on what images can be. A must-read for artists, scholars, and anyone interested in the evolving language of photography.
