WHAT IS

DISCURSIVE DOCUMENTS?

Discursive Documents is an exhibition that is being showcased at the Huddersfield Art Gallery. The show is populated by the work of three artists and photographers, who cover three topics. Richard Higgenbottom and Richard Mulhearn's work explore the idea of daily life, the everyday assumptions that set the readability of photographs. Seba Kurtis and Alex Beldea's images are based on immigrants fleeing the Middle East. Sara Eyre and Layla Sailor use photography and film to explore the boundaries between object and body. 

This exhibition explores the photograph’s potential to debate, not necessarily to address ‘how things are’ but to ask ‘what is possible'. Curator Dr Liam Devlin Proposes that the social agency of photographic practices, the photograph’s capacity to provide an autonomous view of the world, lies within maintaining a ‘productive tension’ created by the photograph acting both as a document (of events or moments), while also operating as an image in itself; an aesthetic object to be interpreted.
