Opening: Ongoing Process / 8 Photographers

What happens when eight photographers are given the opportunity to immerse themselves in their own projects during a spring semester, in dialogue with each other and with themselves? What happens when ideas are allowed to grow slowly, with room for both uncertainty and depth, and when artistic processes are allowed to run in parallel – but never in isolation?

The exhibition Ongoing Process is the result of a course at the Center for Photography where participants have been able to explore their own photographic narratives in a context that both challenges and supports. During six physical meetings, projects have emerged, been reshaped, matured – and in some cases, perhaps opened up more new questions than provided definitive answers.

Ongoing Process is therefore not only a title but also a method, an approach. It is a way of looking at artistic work as living, changeable, and relational. The photographs in this exhibition testify that artistry does not arise in solitude, but in meetings – with the material, with the world around us, and with each other.
