photoED Magazine: Movement

Issue #75

photoED Magazine: Movement issue in print now

“Every avalanche begins with the movement of a single snowflake, and my hope is to move a snowflake.”
– Thomas Frey

The 75th print issue of photoED Magazine features artists who explore ideas around movement and forward momentum.

The Movement issue celebrates photo-based art that looks to move us forward by presenting stories that range from observations on migration and an unconventional road trip to beautifully crafted lens-based artworks that reflect on how we physically move through the world.

The joy of photography can lie beyond sight, and a 3D photograph limited edition print.

If you’re a subscriber or Patreon supporter, you will receive your copy of the print issue in the mail accompanied by a 3D tactile photographic print.

photoED Magazine is thrilled to share this 3D printing technology sample with readers and hopes the story it accompanies inspires more creatives to consider how their own photography might be experienced in a new way, moving forward.

From our feature story, An Inclusive Ode to Joy by Corinna vanGerwen, Japanese photographer Mariko Tagashira has been working with the White Hands Chorus NIPPON to produce exhibitions around the world. The choir is made up of two parts: a singing group and a gestural team that performs songs using sign language.

The 3D prints produced exclusively for photoED print issue readers are copies from a series created for a special exhibition. In 2024, the choir travelled to Vienna to perform as part of an anniversary celebration—200 years since the premiere of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. The WestLicht Museum for Photography mounted Mariko’s exhibition, which included tactile prints to make the experience more accessible to people with different levels of vision.

A copy of one of these prints has been randomly inserted into each copy of the publication sent to valued supporters.

This issue also features:

Xavi Bou & nicholas x bent: Motion in Frame by Corinna vanGerwen

Lori Ryerson: Quiet, Noise, and Moving In Between by Rita Godlevskis

Protest Is a Creative Act: Resistance and Tides of Change
Recognizing the 50th anniversary of the UN-declared International Women’s Year (1975), curators at Melbourne’s Museum of Australian Photography launched an exhibition to chart the relationships among art, protest, and social change over the last half century in Australia.

Crip Trip: Reframing Disability by Gladys Lou
In the summer of 2024, Daniel Ennett, a quadruple amputee artist and director, and Frederick Kroetsch, his friend, creative collaborator, and caregiver, embarked on a road trip in a beat-up, graffitied,1970s RV, followed by a film crew. Gladys spoke to them about their gorilla art exhibition hosted on the outside of the RV parked along a downtown Toronto street, and about how making photographs (developed and printed in the RV) really shares a larger story about the power of collaboration through photography.
