There is more behind a photograph than just a picture, every shot tells a different story. The Kulpa Collection
offers an important documentary record as the invention and development of photography closely coincided
with a period of extensive engagement with indigenous societies. The remoteness of some of the depicted
peoples made the very venture of taking the photographs a possibility only for those with great perseverance. The poignancy of the subject matter also anchors this collection in a special way – the individuals looking
hard and straight into the lens of the camera now look hard and straight into us.
The Collection also commemorates the pioneering photographers of the day such as Thomas Andrew,
W H T Partington and Henry King. It should be noted that some of the most powerful images are unattributed from the perspectives of both subject matter and authorship. However, all stand on their merits as portrayals
of societies undergoing radical transformation. |
