NEO-ANALOG

The exhibition NEOANALOG brings together 13 contemporary artists and serves as a manifesto for a recent international movement. Since the 2010s, certain photographers working within contemporary art have moved away from image-making to explore the materiality of the medium: light, chemistry, and tangible supports have become their language. These practices, outside the media mainstream, promote analog photography as a direct experience of the reality. Often driven by an ecosophical sensibility, neo-analog artists explore nature alongside scientists and aim for a poetics of the Anthropocene: in a damaged world, photography no longer only helps us to see—it helps us feel and understand. Between installation, sculpture, and video, neo-analog work reactivates the medium’s history while opening it to new possibilities, asserting a renewed balance in the face of digital dominance.
