Spanning a dialogue between contemporary positions and those of the nineteenth century, the exhibition Back to the Future displays what the photographic medium was, what it is, and what it will be in the near future. This exhibition juxtaposes the work created by contemporary artists with the work of some of the medium’s nineteenth century pioneers.
