Exhibitions

The Camera Roll Orgy exhibition debuted in New York City, featuring hidden digital images transformed into physical prints by some of the city’s most respected photographers. Curated by Thomas Polcaster, a renowned photographer known for his thought-provoking work and deep engagement with the digital transition in photography, the show explores the transition of digital snapshots from phone screens to tangible art.

“Our camera rolls have replaced physical photo albums. They’re trapped in the digital realm, waiting to be released,” Polcaster told Dazed.

The exhibition, held at The Shop in the Lower East Side, co-founded by Matt Weinberger and Avery Addison Hunsberger, features works by Ryan McGinley, Jack Pierson, Lyle Ashton Harris, Luca Imperatori, Paul Levack, Justin Leveritt, David Lindsay, Armando Nin, Nick Sethi, Lucien Smith, and Polcaster himself.

Polcaster emphasized the personal connections in curating the show. “Every artist in this show is personally important to me. Some even handed over their phones, showing immense trust,” he shared. This access allowed for the creation of new works specifically for the exhibition. Camera Roll Orgy is open until June 22, 2024.
