Pop-up exhibition: The Camera as a Weapon

The works from six artists in The Camera as a Weapon differ widely from the perspectives they take to the conflicts they discuss, but every one of them illustrates the impactful role of the camera in times of conflict. The exhibition examines examples such as the first time that videos shot by civilians shaped the world's view of a conflict, to reconstructing timelines of important events throughout conflicts.

The works illustrate how the lens has made it possible to shed light on conflicts from different viewpoints, allowing the everyday citizen to speak up. On the other hand, in a time where technological developments are making it increasingly difficult to distinguish between what is real and what is not, it is important to ask the questions about the value we attach to - and the purpose of all the imagery - that circulate on our social networks.
