PANDORA'S CAMERA

Fontcuberta considers the technological shift that photography has undergone in recent years. The medium finds itself torn between l oss and hope, between the disappearance of the silver gelatin photograph and the possibilities of the digital medium. Fontcuberta us es the motif of Pandoras box to conceptualise the nature of photography, its fickle relationship to truth employing the Greek myth concerning a large jar containing forms of human unhappiness.
