Why Photography?: New Visions: The Henie Onstad Triennial for Photography and New Media

Henie Onstad Kunstsenter has been groundbreaking for almost 50 years in presenting new and experimental art, and is a historical place for photography in Norway.
Edited by MELK together with Susanne Ostby S?ther (HOK) Why Photography? highlights and go into depth on the current generation of photographers and functions as a reference publication for the years to come.
They ask artists to state, with words and images, how they see and relate to photography as a technical apparatus, and why they have chosen photography as well as the potential future of the medium. Rather than being a classic scholarly publication, the goal is to release a visual manifesto that outlines many and varied viewpoints from every corner of the globe.
In 2017 Henie Onstad launched an ambitious photo program, which aims to increase the engagement with and knowledge of modern and contemporary photography as an art form.
