Documentary in Flux

In conjunction with the twenty-fifth anniversary of C/O Berlin, Documentary in Flux gives an overview of the C/O Berlin Talent Award, which since 2006 has been conferred on a young artist and a young theorist working in tandem. Fourteen exemplary artists selected for the exhibition from among over ninety recipients illuminate how documentary work in photography is in a constant state of flux that has also been going on for twenty-five years—even before the prize was established. Four thematic chapters focus on individual aspects of the documentary work in art photography, exploring processes and developments as well as time-specific tendencies. In addition to looking at the recent past, the exhibition presents possible future visions for documentary photography.
