Until January 10th, an exhibition titled “Burden of Proof: The Construction of Visual Evidence”, which examines the use of photography as evidence throughout history, will be on display at The Photographer’s Gallery in London.
The gallery’s website explains, “The exhibition presents eleven case studies spanning the period from the invention of ‘metric’ photography of crime scenes in the 19th century to the reconstruction of a drone attack in Pakistan in 2012 using digital and satellite technologies. These offer an analysis of the historical and geopolitical contexts in which the images appeared, as well as their purpose, production process and dissemination”.
