The Night Albums: Visibility and the Ephemeral Photograph Albers Kate Palmer
We live in an era of abundant photography. Kate Palmer Albers argues that it is precisely this current cultural moment that allows us to recognize what has always been a basic and foundational, yet unseen, condition of photography: its ephemerality.Through a series of case studies spanning the history of photography, The Night Albums takes up the provocations of artists who collectively redefine how we experience visibility. Is it then counterintuitive to study photographs that disappear or are difficult to discern?
By unveiling how ephemerality shapes the photographic experience, she From the protracted hesitancies of photography's origins, to conceptual and performative art that has emerged since the 1960s, to the waves of technological experimentation flourishing today, Albers foregrounds artists who offer fleeting, hidden, conditional, and future modes of visibility.
