Can you gender photo technology? Yes! When female photographers with an affinity for technology bring digital and analog work processes and tools into the picture, when they take the fetish around camera models literally, when they let 3D-modeled body fragments emerge from nowhere, when they produce autoradiographs with samples of the radioactive mineral pitchblende, or when they stage equilibrium studies after Lucia Moholy.

FOTOTECHNIKA adds a herstory to the history of photographic technology, is artistic and scientific, sensual and factual. Those who love their medium fathom its essence, understand its technique and observe its procedures.
