ReVisions

An alternative history of photography.

ReVisions examined the ways in which invention, discovery, science and art have combined to create an account of photography that has largely been overlooked or eclipsed by standard histories of the subject. The images, drawn largely from our own collection, arguably constitute the true art of photography.
