About the thesis

At a moment in history when "post-truth" and "alternative facts" epitomize the political circualtion of doubt and distrust, Kerstin Hamilton's The Objectivity Laboratory: Propositions on Documentary Photography, explores truth and a "situated objectivity" as radical tools in the artist's approach of urgent matters in the world.
