Nonhuman Photography

Exploring the evolving relationship between photography and nonhuman elements, Joanna Zylinska presents a philosophy that critiques human-centric imaging practices. She highlights how modern photography, influenced by technology like drones and CCTV, often operates without human agency. Zylinska argues that all images, even those created by humans, are shaped by mechanical and cultural algorithms. By examining the interplay of control and creativity in photography, she advocates for new ways of seeing and understanding the medium's role in documenting human existence and envisioning future possibilities.
