Artdoc Photography Magazine - Issue 04/2021

في هذه القضية

In Artdoc Issue #4 2021, Invisible Realities, we bring photographers who investigate our complex reality. French photographer Mathieu Asselin said this about his documentary project Monsanto: a photographic investigation: “You can have your own truth, but you cannot have your own facts.” Indian photographer Alakananda Nag delved into her city’s history, concluding that the Armenians could be the founding fathers of Calcutta. French photographer Florian Ruiz distorted his images as a metaphor for the environmental distortion of the radioactive sites in China. The Artdoc exhibition Documentary Stories shows different photographers who all engage in new ways of visual storytelling. In his essay, Koray Değirmenci discusses the validity of the manipulated digital image. We should read modern multi-layered photographs as metaphors of invisible realities.

Artdoc Photography Magazine Description:

Artdoc is an international online magazine dedicated to the world of photography. The name Artdoc refers to our vision of art photography and documentary photography. In recent years, the two fields have merged, and contemporary photography is a blend of mirrors and windows. The art of photography is not limited to the aesthetics of the images themselves but encompasses the story behind them. Photography is the art that combines reality and vision, feeling and truth, psychological depth, and political awareness. Photography is a tool to communicate about the world that surrounds us and our feelings about it. Photography is the visual storytelling medium of our time, and it's deeply pervaded in the veins of our society and culture. Artdoc publishes engaging and high-quality portfolios of established and emerging photographers from all countries of all continents. The collections are accompanied by in-depth interviews with the published lens-based artists.
