To Be Determined: Photography and the Future proposes a radical concept: that the photograph is as much an object of the future as it is of the past. Exploring a familiar medium with new eyes, this series of short essays asserts that photographic technologies are geared towards a world to come, not a world that has been.

The book proposes that artists and photographers who question photography’s capacities – to transform our relationship to time, rewire our perception, and describe our encounters with technology – can change our perception of our own agency and our capacity to see, think and act.
