Participants can wield hammers in dedicated rage rooms or use precise tools to prise apart equipment in bespoke disassembly areas. Bring your own camera or choose one of the hundreds available on display. Everyone is invited to gather, sort and rework the mechanical fragments into new sculptural forms. The resulting objects will remain on display throughout the exhibition and will ultimately inform a permanent public sculpture for Belfast Botanic Gardens. Alternatively, visitors can choose resistance over destruction by adopting an old camera and returning it to use, asserting the continuing value of photography as a physical medium in an increasingly synthetic image culture.

'Camera Obsolete?' reframes photography’s transition not as quiet decline, but as a charged, creative and public act. It marks a moment in the medium’s evolution and mechanical history, inviting audiences to engage directly with what is being remade and reimagined. As image-making enters an algorithmic and AI-driven age, choose to question, confront, create or simply watch.
