PUBLICATION | RIA VERHAEGHE

Provisoria is an alternative image archive curated by Ria Verhaeghe since the early 1990s, sourced from international newspapers. Organized by keywords, dates, and thematic groupings, the archive is an effort to explore a different dimension of photojournalism. The images-often dramatic, ambiguous, or unsettling-explore the raw and layered emotional dimensions of photojournalism. With over 60,000 images, the collection spans from the striking and dramatic to the ambiguous, grotesque, and unexpectedly tender. Three sections-Human Interest, Fusion and Mindwaves—offer insight into the archive’s conceptual range.
