HARD COPY NEW YORK | 1International Center of Photography

The International Center of Photography presents HARD COPY NEW YORK, an expanded iteration of Aaron Stern’s ongoing mission exploring the modern use of the photocopied picture. Following earlier iterations, together with a 2025 present in Los Angeles, the group exhibition makes use of the visible language of the copy machine to evoke nostalgia for a time of extra deliberate image making.  

In our present second when digital photos proliferate, fewer bodily copies of photos are made or exhibited. Through this present, curators David Campany and Aaron Stern purpose to reassert images’s inherent energy: its capability to supply a profound, democratic, and tangible expertise.
