(Mis)Understanding Photography – Works and Manifestos
June 2014 · co-conception and realisation of the exhibition reader, published by Edition Folkwang/Steidl
"Today we're experiencing the evolution of homo sapiens into homo photographicus: the image supplies most of our knowledge and formats our consciousness. In the age of homo photographicus, photography becomes a tool for pondering reality and its purpose therefore exists beyond personal expression or documentary goals. Images aren't simply representations of the world any longer, but rather, they become the world.", writes photographer and artist Joan Fontcuberta for the reader accompanying the exhibition (Mis)Understanding Photography at the Museum Folkwang in Essen, thus illuminating the importance of this ubiquitous medium today.
Numerous other artists have their say in the extensive reader and tell their very own history of photography by examining the material of photography, its origins and models, its meanings and rituals.
With works by: Laura Bielau, Viktoria Binschtok, Joan Fontcuberta, Jochen Lempert, Zoe Leonard, Peter Piller, Timm Rautert, Thomas Ruff, Pavel Maria Smejkal, Larry Sultan and Mike Mandel, Clare Strand, Wolfgang Tillmans, Timm Ullrichs, Gillian Wearing, Christopher Williams, amongst others
