the NONHUMAN
PHOTOGRAPHY ISSUe

 

What does nonhuman photography mean? What agency do we apply, real or perceived, as artists, image makers and viewers? How can we evolve beyond the conventional “human vs. machine narrative? In our first themed issue of 2021, we present three features that address these questions: an essay by Fred Ritchin, an interactive visual project by Ramin Mazur, co-produced by FOTODEMIC, and a two-part essay by Johanna Zylinska.
