Robert Burley, Alison Nordström, Arezoo Moseni – The Disappearance of Darkness

In the brief time Robert Burley spent documenting the industrial infrastructure supporting analog photography, the world embraced a digital age. Suddenly a global population abandoned their film cameras and began to create and share photographs using data-driven devices. Companies such as Kodak and Polaroid were reduced to shadows of their former selves, or worse, as they attempted to adapt. Burley traveled the world with his 4×5 field camera to record factories that were literally disappearing before his eyes, capturing this technological transition on film before it too vanished. Join Robert Burley and Alison Nordström for a discussion, about The Disappearance of Darkness, moderated by Arezoo Moseni.
