Descripción de la Exposición

The exhibition entitled What Photography and Incarceration Have in Common with an Empty Vase, presents a multifaceted body of work developed from several collaborations of the artist Edgar Martins with Grain Projects and HM Prison in Birmingham. Using the social context of incarceration as a starting point, he explores absence as a philosophical concept and tackles the status of photography when confronted with questions of visibility, ethics, aesthetics, and documentation. By giving a voice to prisoners and their families and by approaching the prison as a set of social relations, rather than as a container of physical space. Thus, the work challenges and rethinks the kind of imagery normally associated with incarceration. Thus, the project deliberately circumvents images whose sole purpose, according to Edgar Martins, is to confirm opinions on crime and punishment already in effect within the dominant ideology: violence, drugs, criminality, race. Through the works presented at this exhibition Edgar Martins elaborates an approach that reinforces the act of photographing and photography as apotropaic devices.
