Photography, Temporality, and Thinking about the Future

The photographic image has always historizised; an artifact of the past, photographic moment. But just as it is conditioned by the temporal and material context of its making, its essence – if there is one – is conditioned by how we encounter the image. This encounter involves both the situation in which the image is seen and our individual selves in relation to it – our histories, beliefs, and expectations. To further reflect on this unstable, temporal quality of the photograph, we explore the meaning of looking at the future by looking at photographs. Artistically and philosophically a contradiction in terms, it is still a practice we experience: How to look ahead with something temporally bound to the past. To do this, we reflect on ‘Regarding the Pain of the Future’ by the first author and develop and discuss an artistic practice emphasising a second, photographic moment.

This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
How can writing as an entangling practice of “artistic research” contribute to an understanding of these processes?
Can the figure of “Trans” as prefix (see method and title of the project: “Trans*Writing”), which is addressing the movement of crossing, be promoted as new thinking pattern for a writing that has the immanent tendency to exceed meanings, bodies, subjects, settings, knowledge, lives, spaces etc.?
