Quickscan 3

Twenty photographers and visual artists working in the Netherlands show how photography has developed over the past ten years. Makers draw on existing forms and techniques, using them to explore what photography can be today. In the exhibition, photography appears as an image on the wall, but also in books, films, archives, installations, performances and digital technologies.

A medium in motion

In the exhibition, makers show how they work with photography today. Some artists return to the image as a physical object. They cut, weave, print or manipulate photographs, revealing how an image is made.

Others use archives to make personal or forgotten stories visible again. Within documentary photography, the role of the photographer is shifting: makers not only record the world around them, but also show the position from which they look.

Beyond the still image

The exhibition shows how broad photography has become. The photobook remains a place where images come together through rhythm, sequence and form. Film, video and performance create space for stories that cannot be captured in a single image.

The rise of AI-generated images is changing the way we look at photography. Who makes an image, where does it come from and what can we trust?
