Edition 9
Broadsheet PDF (5.9mb)
The ninth edition presents works from the 2020 ILFORD CCP Salon, as selected by the team at the Centre for Contemporary Photography. In a year that saw us retreat from the gallery and into our homes, the primary interface for experiencing art became the screen. While this shift prompted novel and imaginative ways of experiencing photography, it has also underscored the value of physical exhibition space.

The eighth edition showcases works from the 2019 ILFORD CCP Salon, as selected by the team at the Centre for Contemporary Photography.
