Abstract
The series, Hands, explores photography’s history as a tool for visual classification. Since its beginnings, the camera has been used for witnessing and cataloguing in various disciplines such as anthropology, medicine, geography and criminology.
This typology of hands comments on the use of photography as evidence, and questions the validity and reliability of photography as an objective record, particularly in our digital era.
This work continues Talhy’s long-term exploration into photography, power and representation.
The image was selected for the cover of Continuum’s special edition: The Perpetrator of Crimes Against Humanity in Global Documentary Film.
