The Spring 2013 issue of Fillip continues Apparatus, Capture, Trace, a series edited by Kate Steinmann examining the links between biopolitics and photography. For this issue, Martha Langford investigates Vladimir Putin’s use of staged official state photography and Ahmad Hosni writes on the role of Facebook within the Egyptian revolution of January 2011.
Fillip 18 also features a special section on art and labour guest edited by Gabrielle Moser. Operating as an extension of the discussions about the financial and labour conditions of contemporary art, Always Working invites the critic and historian Sven Lachtticken and the artist Natascha Sadr Haghighian to reflect on the conditions under which artistic labour is made to appear or disappear.
