What is here and what is there? Prior to the pandemic, most people had a clearer understanding. Here was here, where we live, work and play. “There” was a physical target—different GPS coordinates. Now, “where you at?” is as much mental and spiritual as it is about latitude and longitude.
CoPA’s 13th Annual Member Exhibition explores the optics of here and there.
Photographers are tasked with making visual representations of the intangible—creating images that ask more questions than they answer. Here and there is a broad concept that can be explored in macro as well as sprawling landscapes. What we have been through and where we are going provide the emotional, spiritual, and creative signposts for this visual journey.
