The works showcase Photography’s diversity, including its use as three-dimensional and time-based media, its collaboration with sunlight and neon, and its testimony in archives. The exhibition questions Photography’s intimate relationship to space and time, demonstrating the medium’s powerful ability to introduce, manipulate, or remove the presence of these dimensions. Demonstrating how artists can interrupt our expectations of stillness and continuity, the images transform the inanimate into the performative, and the body into the architectural. The Circle Was a Point invites its viewers to engage in Photography in the spirit of the title: a central origin permeating the whole. Through showcase, the works of these thirty artists tell a new story, one radial and ever-evolving.
