Field Guide to Bugs & Metamorphosis: Glitching Photography

Field Guide to Bugs & Metamorphosis: Glitching Photography examines “bugs” as both technical errors in digital technology and themes related to insects, such as swarming and extinction. It explores the intersection of machine-based photography and natural ecologies, with critical essays by, among others, Nina Mangalanayagam, Louise Wolthers, and Joanna Zylinska. Featuring works by artists including Taysir Batniji, Mónica Alcázar-Duarte, Jake Elwes, and others, this field guide accompanies the exhibition Bugs & Metamorphosis: Glitching Photography at the Hasselblad Center, Gothenburg, offering insights into the interplay of human-made and organic systems through photography and artistic experimentation.
