Pushed Processes

Curatorial Statement

Pushed Processes showcases work from a new generation of photographic artists who push the boundaries of the medium, incorporating their individual perceptions in a contemporary art context. The artists rework old techniques and employ modern ones to create images that demonstrate how photography and light sensitive materials are being used to go beyond traditional photographic conventions. These diverse bodies of work include manipulated prints and moving images, two-dimensional representations and three-dimensional installations, as well as lens-based and camera-less photography.
