For more than five decades Joel-Peter Witkin has been among the most influential artists pushing photography to the forefront of the visual arts. His staged images and meticulous work with the material of the print blur the boundaries between photography and painting, between a document and a scene. The exhibition Broken World at the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art presents Witkin’s photographs, preparatory drawings, and sketches, many of which are on display for the first time ever. The project maps the artist’s late period from 2010 to 2025, during which his emphasis on physicality, the sacred, and memento mori deepened and became more precise.
