Still life, a photography classic, has been located for a long time in contemporary art’s niche. Recently, numerous artists have taken it up and reinterpreted it. However, can we speak about a latest update of a photographic genre? If so, why is this occurring precisely now? On the occasion of IN FOCUS in the latest EIKON issue #103, we will pursue these and further questions in a discussion with experts.
