Photography has held humanity in its thrall since its nascent years. Celebrated and contested, the photograph is said to have inherent power, making it both a vital, and also dangerous, medium. This exceptional and ambitious new exhibition at the NGV, Photography: Real and Imagined, illuminates why we have an unwavering fascination. From the moment we enter ‘Light’ until exiting through ‘Death’, the show carries the viewer on the currents of photographic imagination. It is a stunning and memorable journey.
