The things that seem and those that are is in part Machiavellian. It's a quote paraphrased, but it also goes on to describe the alternative and historical photographic processes through which each of these artist's works. The key term is processes - the works are not instantaneous, rather time consuming processes that are anti-digital in nature.
We will have a variety of alternative processes on display, from cyanotypes to tintypes, ambrotypes to platinum palladium prints, and images created with pinhole cameras - each unique image baring the marks of their makers.
