Because we live in a time when there is a proliferation of image creation and consumption,

One of the fundamental and original characteristics of photography is its function as a witness and proof of reality, a tool for reporting that makes events and issues visible. Photographs that witness realities can have an emotional and – as a result – social impact. However, an image doesn’t mean the same for every human being as its effect can change in different cultures or historical moments. As such, a photograph is never reality itself, even if a photograph is connected to reality.
This event is produced by Everything is Connected supported by the Photography and the Archive Research Centre, London College of Communication, University of the Arts London, and hosted by VII Insider.
