Trigger #5: Energy, is an exploration of that question — and broadly thematizes alternative approaches to energy through photography, the issue of society’s decarbonization, the call for repair, and collective values. The launch for Trigger #5: Energy is scheduled during the FUTURES Meet-Up on November 13-14 at FOMU — Photo Museum Antwerp. More information is available if YOU CLICK HERE!

Through this issue you’ll get another understanding of waste, the darkroom, and photography itself. It is photography itself that shows us possible routes, beyond the human, to spiritual energies that can help us repair and heal and ultimately centre (photography on) non-extractive values (and techniques). Trigger #5 consists of thirteen contributions (essays, artist contributions, conversations) which engender possible ways photography might start to unlearn entrenched ideas and habits concerning the use and abuse of energy.
