About
Street photography is more indispensable than ever. As digital technologies, social media and Artificial Intelligence drive a collective disconnect, street photography—with its emphasis on relationship, sensorial experience and human connection—seems to offer a much-needed antidote.
Thresholds 2026: Up Close and Personal moves our eyes from the screens and back to one another and explores how street photography shapes conversation and unscripted moments; capturing the light, color and unexpected shadows of layered streetscapes. This exhibition thinks about the gaps between the eerie of sleekness of AI generated images and the raw power of candid snaps. It thinks about how buildings redefine movement in the space, the powers of timing and the vitality of visual storytelling.
