Background information
"‘Trigger’ is a new platform launched by Fotomuseum Antwerpen for research, reflection, and dialogue on all things photographic.
Content
This first publication on 'Impact' is made in close collaboration with the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (KABK), The Hague, and guest editor Donald Weber. It aims to cast impact as a re-enactment or assertion of radical intimacy, initiate a different gaze on the world, and show that impact can also exist within an ecology or geography of photography.
Through 20 contributions by Ariella AZOULAY, Lewis BUSH, Taco Hidde BAKKER, Andrew JACKSON and Savannah DODD, Shahidul ALAM, Andrea STULTIENS, and more, we learn how impact is social, participative, conflictual." (publisher's note, © Fw: Books, 2020)
