Controversies AUSTRIA VIENNA • KunstHausWien • Ongoing
Since its invention, photography has provoked numerous controversies and has been subjected to the judgments of law courts. A symbol of freedom of expression and individual rights, but also of power and money, photography has regularly been confronted with legal proceedings, censorshipor manipulation. It has given rise to passionate debates that often ended up before the Administrative Court. Formerly presented at the Musée de l’Elysée, Lausanne, the exhibition proposes a wide range of well-known and lesser-known photographs that were the target of legal proceedings or controversies, from the early days of photography until contemporary expression. The selection helps us to better understand how different societies and cultures have interpreted images from their own times.
