‘Horizons’ invites artists and audiences to consider what lies beyond our present technological, environmental, social, economic and geopolitical boundaries. It builds on photography’s long history as a means of bearing witness to the world’s vastness, while recognising that the medium itself stands again at a new threshold.
For many, horizons suggest the unknown: places not yet reached, stories not yet told, and futures still taking shape. But the horizon in 2026 is not only out in the world. It is also within photography itself. As image-making becomes more digital, automated and AI-driven, questions of truth, materiality, authorship and trust come sharply into view.
