EIKON #132 | WHERE IS PHOTOGRAPHY NOW?
Intimate Experience, Dream Worlds and Popular Image Practices at the Threshold between Documentary Photography and AI-Generated Images
Artists: Fabio Bucciarelli | Maurice Blackburn Lawyers
Anna Schober-de Graaf explores the potential of AI-generated photography, a potential that has been overshadowed by fears of manipulation in visual representations.
Where documentary photography reaches its limits, personal experiences of violence can be visualised through AI-generated images. In this way, Maurice Blackburn Lawyers adds a visual dimension to the personal stories of their clients.

Where does photography stand today? In one sense, it remains where it has always been: photography still concerns itself with seeing visible phenomena – things, bodies, events, and activities – in new and different ways.
Anna Schober-de Graaf
At the same time, however, we currently find ourselves at an epochal threshold where a new technology, in the form of AI-supported machine learning programs, is becoming widespread – programs that also generate images based on the conventions of documentary photography.
