ONE DAY SOON guest-edited by Torbjørn Rødland

Der Greif and Torbjørn Rødland put out an open call, titled „One Day Soon“.

The world is still out there. Our job is now to find our places in it. A way through it. Rødland wanted to see the medium of photography opened up and pushed forward through the rise of generative AI. Beyond a subjective recording of the world as well as the critical rejection of subjectivity itself. What’s over the horizon?

Key questions were: How are you as photographers and image makers responding to these immense technological and cultural shifts? What are you thirsty for now?  Around 1.500 image makers from all over the world responded to the open call and Rødland selected and sequenced the ninety photographs in this issue.
