From the etymological meaning of the word (abstrahare = to extract), any photograph could be called “abstract” for its purpose of producing a transcription. Doesn’t all photographic evidence, an extract from some portion of reality, paradoxically meet this definition of abstraction as a way of referencing what is real while also becoming free of it?
By 1916, Paul Strand had already produced his photograph Abstraction, Porch Shadows. Remember that abstraction in photography has undergone refinement through the avant-garde, the Bauhaus and subjective photography, to name only a few such highlights from photographic history.
Today, with the liberation of the medium, other realms of this means of surpassing the real are being explored by artists whom we might define as image plasticians rather than photographers in the conventional sense.
Creating wordplay with the words “really” and “abstract” and appending a question mark, the exhibition Really Abstract? interrogates, through the work of four artists, this relationship to reality and abstraction via the medium of photography.
