Introduction

‘The world is currently going through significant socio-economic, cultural and political change. We are entering an era of uncertainty, anxiety and disruption that is touching every aspect of our public and private lives’

PhotoBath’s fourth exhibition introduced an external selection process – we thought we would try something new. A panel of three well respected photography professionals selected images for the exhibition based on image quality and relevance to the theme.
They focused on the images only and photographer names were not available.

Fifty seven images were submitted from nineteen photographers. The curation team then chose the final ten images for the exhibition. Photographs were printed to a large size.

In line with PhotoBath’s‘ aims. Witness’ was a first step towards developing a photo documentary archive that other photographers, and photography networks can contribute to, and form the basis for collaborations with journalists, writers, artists and other relevant projects. As usual the exhibition was very well received and high in quality.

 

The world is currently going through significant socio-economic, cultural and political change. We are entering an era of uncertainty, anxiety and disruption that is touching every aspect of our public and private lives.

The WITNESS project aims to create a visual document to represent, social and cultural changes – to create a powerful, living record of everyday life in extraordinary times.

‘Witness’ presents an opportunity to develop a photo documentary archive that other photographers, and photography networks can contribute to, and form the basis for collaborations with journalists, writers, artists and other relevant projects.
