FOCUS Photography Festival Mumbai 2017 theme:

FOCUS Photography Festival today announces that ‘Memory’ is the theme of its third edition, which will take place from 9th-23rd March 2017

Photography and Memory have always shared an irreducible bond. The birth of the medium signalled a bold, near magical step, forward in documenting the world around us. The camera became a time machine, promising to capture the past in order to experience it in the present and to help determine how we act in the future. The ability to transcribe the ‘what, where, when’ of events through the rendering of physical reality onto film confirmed photography’s status as the most powerful tool in visualising and recalling what we understand as history.
