Presenting more than 300 photographs from the renowned collection of the Rijksmuseum, New Realities offers an impressive overview of the international development of photography. Highlights include early travel photographs, motion studies by Eadweard Muybridge, advertising photography, portraiture, scenes of everyday life, the earliest known photograph taken in Suriname, and remarkable scientific images made with microscopes and telescopes.
The invention of photography in 1839 sparked a revolution in visual culture—it both portrayed and created the modern world. For the first time, it became possible to depict and explore every facet of life. Photography soon found a place in every field: science, the arts, daily life, and news reportage. New Realities captures the vast reach and enduring impact of photography across cultures and disciplines.
