...and my Bornholm favourites:






Bornholm

I just went on a short trip to Bornholm, Denmark.
It was the first time I've had in a long while to reconnect with photography and nature.
I came away wondering what a critical photography practice of mine would look like...

Critical - i.e. that problematises, that raises questions, that delimits (as I understand it).
And, after reading Spheres of Action: Art and Politics (ed. Alliez and Osborne), I am re-reminded of the importance of history and materialism, and am wondering how it would be possible to reconcile image making (photography) with this aim.

Here's an assortment of images that are doing different things, but I wouldn't say they were critical. That's the problem, and I suspect the only way such a thing might be possible would be through some heterogeneous element(s).
