Alex Gist / DJ Clark - "A Conspiracy of Guileless Humanity" Podcast

mercredi 21 janvier 2026 • Durée 38:39

We begin 2026 with a six-part series centered around themes of place, movement, and conflict. These issues demand deeper human-centered context, as displacement, political instability, and environmental pressure increasingly define daily life for millions.

In Episode 014 of Exposures DJ Clark speaks with Alex Gist about A Conspiracy of Guileless Humanity, Gist’s recent body of work developed in northern Bali. The conversation traces the project’s origins, from an initial workshop encounter to a sustained period of immersion inside a small, locally rooted restaurant that quietly resists the norms of contemporary culinary culture.

Gist reflects on his path into documentary photography—shaped by years of long-distance bicycle travel, wilderness work, and academic study in religion—and how those experiences inform his interest in ways of living that remain closely tied to land, ritual, and community. The discussion moves through process and ethics: staying long enough for trust to form, the role of writing and voice alongside images, and the distinction between simply documenting a place and embedding oneself within it.

The episode also considers the broader conditions facing emerging documentary photographers today, including sustainability, funding, and the value of slow, human-centered work in an increasingly automated media environment.

Johis Alarcón / Greta Rico - "I Am, Still" Podcast

mercredi 7 janvier 2026 • Durée 34:13

In Episode 013 of Exposures Ecuadorian photojournalist and visual artist Johis Alarcón speaks with documentary photographer Greta Rico to discuss her documentary project, I Am, Still.

The episode traces the personal, political and spiritual foundations of the project of I Am, Still which emerged during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic.
