Exterior monologues, inner visions : 'Emmanations' at the Govett-Brewster

Abstract

"Curated by Geoffrey Batchen, noted international photographic historian and Professor of Art History at Victoria University of Wellington, with significant curatorial assistance from the Govett-Brewster's Paul Brobbel and Sarah Wall, the show is the most comprehensive gathering of cameraless photographs ever produced. More than 200 examples by over 50 international artists provide an incisive look at the potentials of form and content of the art of cameraless image-making. Batchen's book of the same name accompanies the show, although it is not an exact duplicate. It also offers a longer-form essay exploration of the history and practices of the medium."
