EXIT MAGAZINE - Issue#79
The presence of photography within other photographs is a self-reference that, in a way, marks the adulthood of photography, when photography itself becomes the subject, when it enters the narrative with its own identity. It also reflects the ongoing connection—or perhaps binding—of photography with painting, which photography has continuously engaged with since its inception.
Rosa Olivares' text offers a historical journey through photographs in which the image within the image has been instrumental in evolving the language of photography itself. In the dossiers, we delve into the works of Bertien van Manen, Alex Dorfsman, Viviane Sassen, Carmen Winant, Ximena Berecochea, Taysir Batniji, Kenneth Josephson, and Dawit L. Petros. Eight perspectives on a single theme, offering multiple angles and approaches.
From Kenneth Josephson's exploration, which granted photography the capacity to function as a conceptual language, to Taysir Batniji's work, which adopts a more anthropological view, and Bertien van Manen, who photographs others' memories—naturally, in the form of photographs.
A photo within a photo, a metalanguage: this could summarize this new issue of EXIT.
