Mladen Bizumic: Kodak Employed 140,000 People. Instagram 13.

Through photography and sculpture Bizumic's work traces a timeline of Kodak's development, from its founding in 1880 to its subsequent demise in 2012 when the company filed for bankruptcy. The history of photography and of technology's progression and obsolescence, alongside a chronological parallel of corporate hubris, is captured in this new series. These issues act as a lens through which to consider much larger concepts – how the capturing of images, and the technology that enables this, influences not only aesthetic, social and economic relations, but also the resulting effects when they are replaced and taken out of the picture.
