Licht ins Dunkel: Wohin entwickelt sich die künstlerische Fotografie?

This volume brings together the contributions to the symposium of the same name hosted by the DZ BANK Art Collection, now the DZ BANK Art Foundation, on October 8 and 9, 2020. Artists, curators, and scholars from the fields of art and cultural studies as well as philosophy address the question of the future of photographic forms of expression. In their essays, they illuminate from different perspectives current trends that inhabit the taut relationship between the immateriality of the digital image and a recurring emphasis on materiality/substantiality. In the process, conceptual issues such as the dissolution of traditional genre boundaries are also explored.
