Punctum is printed on the occasion of Punctum: Reflections on Photography, an exhibition held at the Salzburger Kunstverein (7/26-9/21/2014) and curated by Séamus Kealy. Exploring the nature of photography today, and consisting of fifty photographs chosen by artists, curators and writers, Punctum takes its cue from the term coined by Roland Barthes in Camera Lucida: Reflections on Photography. Participants selected photographs that, for each of them, are emblematic of “punctum,” given today’s context for photography and our constant grappling with aesthetics.

artists: Kader Attia, Geoffrey Batchen, Sabine Bitter & Helmut Weber, Iñaki Bonillas, Moyra Davey, Willie Doherty, Ines Doujak, et al.
