Part II (18h00-21h00)
A guided tour by Martin Denker in /HIGH SPEED INSANiTY/
A panel discussion examining the role of the private, corporate and public collector. Underlying questions raised: What does it mean to collect photographic art today, will we still collect in the future? What different approaches do private and public collections take? Can, with the increasing digitalization of images, the physical photographic image still provoke, reflect and pause in a different way than images available to us within a split second?
