Annual #33 Cosmophotographies
£38.00
Cosmophotographies, the 2026 Photoworks Annual, takes Yuk Hui’s conception of cosmotechnics, and applies it to photography. Hui argues that technology is never neutral, embodying the values, assumptions and ways of knowing which shaped it – while simultaneously shaping them. Cosmophotographies asks what ideology is embedded in the camera and the images it produces, and whether we use this technology differently. Hui argues that the cosmotechnics which currently dominates emerged with European modernity, and has helped globalise a disastrous relationship with the world. In the face of impending environmental and climate breakdown, Cosmophotographies wonders, can we urgently envisage something else?
Annual #33 Cosmophotographies is edited by Diane Smyth and designed by Jane & Jeremy.
