Foam Magazine #57: IN LIMBO

IN LIMBO addresses our current state of being, suspended and in vacuum. This issue reflects on how we are experiencing the two main topics of our time - a global pandemic and social challenges - while looking at how this could be a fundamental chance to shift our questions on photography: stop asking 'what photography is' and start consciously talking about 'what photography can do' and 'what we want photography to do'. Shortly, we are addressing the emotional limbo, the political limbo, the sudden silencing of all the background noise that put all of us still - and forced us to listen, and act. The contributions in Foam Magazine # 57: In Limbo offer written and visual reflections on these questions, while opening much needed  discussions around photography's power and its responsibilities in a climate of crises.
