Photography is Magic

"Photography is Magic privileges the potentials of ideas over the virtuosity of individual authors or the perfection of techniques and mechanisms," Charlotte Cotton writes in her essential new survey. "As with actual close-up prestidigitation, ideas are what ultimately allow the magic to happen. The works shown here take into account the many ways in which viewers relate to photographic media, materials, and image cultures in our current media environment. They are potent in decidedly new ways, and specifically because of the terms of engagement they propose: calling upon our ability to construct meaning from our collective 'muscle memory' of making and consuming photographic imagery." Featured image is Taisuke Koyama's Untitled (Seventh Depth 013) (2014).
