The School of Media at the Dublin Institute of Technology is pleased to announce details of the 2013 BA Photography graduate exhibition at the Gallery of Photography and the National Photographic Archive, Dublin.

The 2013 BA Photography graduate exhibition features the photographic projects of twenty one students. It is a diverse collection of photographic work representing the culmination of four years of study on the BA Photography programme at the Dublin Institute of Technology.

‘In a world where the rapid circulation of predominantly photographic images reaches such volumes and the viral transmutation of the visual is now distributed, commonplace and everyday, why do we still ask our graduates to hang images on walls in public spaces?’

This question, posed by Martin McCabe in his contribution to the 2013 catalogue, invites the viewer to once again consider the photograph as object or installation component, physically intervening to re-present, re-construct and re-connect the particular spaces and sites of investigation which occupy these photographers.
