Questions about photography’s relationship to truth are as old as the medium’s history. The Photo Oxford Symposium will consider photography’s relationship to truth today, from investigations into the stories missing from photographic records to photographers challenging their medium’s relationship to actuality.
Watch the full symposium here.
25 October – 16 November 2025
The first public presentation of Cosmopolemos, a long term project in collaboration with Crofton Black. Cosmopolemos is an exploration of knowledge and meaning in relation to an overwhelming edifice of power: the $6.5 trillion worth of contracts issued by the US Defense Department to the private sector between the 9/11 attacks and the American withdrawal from Afghanistan 20 years later.
[Embedded] comprises a selection — by Katy Barron, PhotoOxford Director, and Edmund Clark — of images from the Incite Project made between 9/11 and the evacuation of Kabul, including by photojournalists embedded with the US military in Afghanistan and Iraq.
More examples from the project can be seen in the Work section of this website.
