PH. present their launch exhibition, WHERE DOES TIME GO. A group show of photographic, installation and film works by Jordan Tate (USA),Nicolas Poillot (FR), Alexander Binder (DE), Grant Willing (USA), Kuba Ryniewicz (PL/UK) and Marco Barrera (USA).
WHERE DOES TIME GO examines time as a subject and its passage within the medium of photography. WDTG explores Heidegeer’s idea that “there is no time without man”, that time does not exist without us yet it “…cannot be found anywhere in the watch that indicates time”, we are both its creator and its prisoner. The show explores how each photographer choses to capture their presence, display our past and what it means to define something as temporary. WDTG takes its title and inspiration from Brooklyn based Oneohtrix Point Never’s post-human soundscape, (taken from the 2010 album, Returnal). - Heidegeer, M. 1972 On Time and Being, New York: Harper and Row
PH.
PH. is a new exhibition space based in The NewBridge Project, Newcastle upon Tyne (UK) dedicated to photography, film and post-photography aesthetics. PH. is a space to promote, exhibit, discuss and re-examine contemporary photographic practice. PH. aims to examine how the mediums digital advances and the increased amount of mobile photographic devices has created a more accessible and potentially democratic medium – everyone is a photographer now. As darkrooms and film become less and less, our memories are now held in the endless capacity of the digital ether, conducted via screen, the fight between pixel vs chemical. Has photography finally lost its physical presence? PH. aims to re-examine the current state of photography, how we now choose to view it and its many possible futures.
