The concept of 'staging disorder' looks not to how photographers
have staged disordered reality themselves, but rather to how these
artists have recognised and responded to a phenomenon of staging
that already exists in the world. Military simulations of rooms,
houses, planes, streets and whole fake towns in different parts of
the globe provoke a series of questions concerning the nature of
truth as it manifests itself in current photographic practice,
drawing from Adam Broomberg & Oliver Chanarin's Chicago, 2007;
Claudio Hils' Red Land Blue Land, 2000; Richard Mosse's Airside,
2007; Sarah Pickering's Public Order, 2002 - 2005; and Christopher
Stewarts' Kill House, 2005. In highlighting the resonance that
these five projects have with one another, the publication develops
a thesis on contemporary photography at a point when we are
currently witnessing a shift away from a critical discourse that
has been preoccupied by theoretical concerns related to artifice
and illusion. Staging Disorder sits alongside an exhibition and
symposium curated by Christopher Stewart (Associate Professor in
Photography, Faculty of Design, Architecture and Built Environment,
University of Technology Sydney) and Dr Esther Teichmann (Senior
Lecturer in Photography, LCC, UAL). The exhibition will be held in
the galleries of the London College of Communication and will run
from January to March 2015, with a symposium taking place in late
January.
