What is the place, or value, of the photographic archive in the digital age? How might the mobility of photographs open up thinking about archives and, in turn, classificatory structures in disciplines such as Art History, Archaeology and Anthropology, or in the Sciences? The conference also addressed questions of digital space, which renders the image more readily accessible, but complicates issues relating to location. The photograph’s physical location thus has an impact upon its value, function and significance these topics were explored at the conference through a range of archives and across disciplines. Photographs are mobile objects that can change their location over time, transported to diverse commercial, artistic, social, academic and scientific locations. In this context, place was used to explore both the physical location of a photograph or archive, as well as the place of photography as a discursive practice with regard to its value or significance as a method of viewing and conceiving the world.
The conference investigated photographs and photographic archives in relation to notions of place.
This conference took place on April 20–21, 2017. It is the sixth in the Photo Archives conference series. This major international conference was convened by Geraldine Johnson (University of Oxford), Deborah Schultz (Regent's University London), and Costanza Caraffa (Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz-Max-Planck-Institut).
