The relation between what we see and what we know is never settled. John Berger
Even when I was writing on art, it was really a way of storytelling – storytellers lose their identity and are open to the lives of other people. (Berger)
Collaboration between JKO, OMA, SUF, DIG and ZOO

About
The project works with two important questions on authorship within the world of photography and the arts in general.
Authorship (handling the camera)
Authorship (A.I. generated)
To explore, these two questions, Various Artists proposes this project:
ZOO collecting/archiving: Once in awhile there is a house in Brussels for sale on the internet (Immoweb (rooms from the 1950’) Brussels) that didn’t change its interior since the 1950/60. ZOO collects the pictures posted. ( the author is unknown. The author is probably a salesman. )
JKO photographer without a camera: Authorship? About the photographer (Susan Sontag, John Berger)
Who decides who is the actual photographer/artist? Is it the one who holds the camera? the one who clicks? the one who orders the click (Directeur de photography) The machine? The person who concepts, who decides that a picture taken/bought/found is now owned, appropriated, (object trouvé)
How much time do we spend thinking about things from someone else’s view? (you don’t want to be just photographing through the lens of your own experience)
Everything in our world has some form of energy – light, land, weather, the energy of movement between people. Even when it feels like there is an absence of energy – an inert object, a barren landscape, an empty wall.
That energy creates a dialogue, a quality to recognise and to understand within the scene.
