Since its inception in the 19th century, photography has brought to light a vast array of represented subjects. Always situated in some spatial order, photographic representations have been operatively underpinned by social, technical, and institutional mechanisms. Geographically, bodily, and geometrically, the camera has positioned its subjects in social structures and hierarchies, in recognisable localities, and in iconic depth constructions which, although they show remarkable variation, nevertheless belong specifically to the enterprises of the medium. This is the subject of Representational Machines: How photography enlists the workings of institutional technologies in search of establishing new iconic and social spaces. Together, the contributions to this edited volume span historical epochs, social environments, technological possibilities, and genre distinctions. Presenting several distinct ways of producing space photographically, this book opens a new and important field of inquiry for photography research.

Rixon has made a name for herself in 1991 with the exhibition Equals: Contemporary Swedish Photography at Moderna Museet in Stockholm. Her early photographic works touch upon symbolism and surrealism. But her intentions are more pronounced and at the same time characteristic of her time. In the middle of the 1990s, Annica Karlsson Rixon lived in California. In a series of portraits of friends and peers from this period she raises questions of identity and the constructions of history. From this point on, portraits become an important element in her production. She has gradually made her works part of increasingly large installations. This exhibition includes works from 1991 until the present.

The knowledge of western historians has, for many years, been limited to printed sources, and in the study of the Romanovs, it has centered solely on the reigning branch of the family. However, the Imperial family was not limited to the central branch of Nicholas I, but extended far beyond. In an effort to acquire a panoramic view of the Romanov dynasty, this book has put together photographs starting with the reign of Alexander II (1855-1881), the era that saw the development of photography and goes through the 20th century.

Stereograms, in this book, are computer-generated kaleidoscopic images that, although flat, give the impression of solidity or relief. Though they have existed for 150 years, with the help of computers, they have now emerged in a new form as they produce the same effect on the viewer without the need for special viewing devices. These captivating images have a brilliant alluring quality that force you to “see” in a new way. In great detail and with exquisite illustrations, this book- written by an architect, a graphic artist, and a civil engineer- explains the intrigue behind stereograms by charting their history and describing how and why they work.

The early nineties witnessed the emergence of a new generation of young artists in Norway who saw photography as a valid means of expression. Rødland is a key figure in the developments in Norway and has made his mark internationally. Fascinated by American appropriation art, he engages in a reflection over nature - with particular references to Norwegian National Romanticism - firmly from the perspective of the present day. In his photographic works he creates images of his reflections on cliches and meta-images in relation to religion and sentimentality, often with a particularly sharp ironic undercurrent. The retrospective exhibition shows a decade-long process of development in his work, with its condensed and consistent mode of expression and common thematic structure.
