What relationship do we have to the things around us? A central problem in philosophy is the relationship between a “knowing subject” (an individual consciousness) and the perception of an objective world, specially as predicated by language. Ludwig Wittgenstein echoes this view when he says:

“The main point is the theory of what can be expressed by propositions – i.e. by language (and, what comes to the same, what can be thought) – and what cannot be expressed by propositions, but only shown; which, I believe, is the cardinal problem in philosophy.”

Students in their third-year of Photography examine their subjective relationship with the objective world, with the hope of creating a synthesis between what can be thought, and what can be shown.
