Online Group Exhibition - "Inscrutable" October 2023
Analog Forever Magazine is proud to present "Inscrutable" an online group exhibition featuring 44 photographs created with film and analog processes, curated by Visual Anthropologist and Executive Member for the annual Click! Photography Festival, Ray Pfeiffer!
Ray Pfeiffer writes:
Inscrutable asked the questions, how can we be certain we know what we're really looking at in an image? How do we know what's true? Can we believe everything we see?
While there were many terrific submissions, the ones that stood out to me the most were those that made me ask the most questions. What is up? What is down? What's really happening? Who is this? Why are they here? Where am I? What do I think I see, and how can I know for sure? For all of these selections, I had all those questions and more.
