Trevor Paglen: Unhuman
Altman Siegel Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new work by Trevor Paglen. This will be Paglen’s second exhibition with the gallery and will feature an entirely new body of work.
For Unhuman, Paglen extends his earlier work on secrecy, distance, and epistemology to include questions about vision, geography, time, and a troubled history of photography. “I think of photography as the history and practice of ‘seeing’ with machines,” Paglen explains. “With some of these newer works, I’m trying to understand what the implications of machine-seeing are for both how we perceive the world and actively intervene in it.”
