And although we have long since arrived in the post-photographic age, we are accompanied by the faint suspicion that not all the secrets surrounding photography have yet been revealed.Six artists take up the traces of such potential secrets: Pascal Petignat + Martin Scholz search for chemical stains in the house of the inventor of photography Nicéphore Niépce, Peter Schreiner elicits hidden details from a sober Instructional Photography, Gregor Schmoll reveals the studio as an empty container that is filled with works, Isabelle le Minh stages overlooked details of the history of photography and apparatus and Sebastian Riemer finally uncovers the end of analog photography in discarded materials.
