The FATHOM archive serves as a comprehensive survey of the photographic image, tracing its evolution from a 19th-century scientific curiosity to the primary visual language of the modern era. This collection bridges the gap between the tactile materiality of early salt prints and the hyper-mediated aesthetics of contemporary practice. By examining the persistent threads of Formalism, Social Realism, and the Sublime, FATHOM situates contemporary works within a grand lineage of visual inquiry, offering a dialogue across nearly two centuries of light-sensitive history.
