In the picture

This week on CW, Chris Gilligan reviews Where are the people? Contemporary photographs of Belfast 2002-2010, edited by Karen Downey, and argues that controversy over representations of people in documentary photography reveals deeper questions about political subjectivity, or the lack of it. Tessa Barratt reviews the London Museum’s exhibition of London street photography, and Paul Kilbey reviews the Geffrye Museum’s part-photographic, part-object-based exhibition offering a glimpse into the contemporary Japanese home. Meanwhile, Matt Trueman reviews the National Theatre’s admirably hyperbolic production of Ibsen’s epic Emperor and Galilean.
