This is the first clip of a series of interviews with artists from reGeneration2: Tomorrow’s Photographers Today.

In this interview, New Zealand photographer Geoffrey H. Short explains the process and the spirit behind his explosions series, when the terror and the sublime meet. Short also touches on how the series developed in a different direction, and the importance of his participation to the reGeneration2 project for his career.

reGeneration2: tomorrow’s photographers today exhibition and accompanying publication, is presented by Aperture Foundation from January 20 through March 17, 2011, in collaboration with the Musée de l’Elysée in Lausanne, Switzerland, and with the support of Pro Helvetia and the Consulate General of Switzerland in New York.

This second volume and exhibition–the broadest survey of its kind–features the works of eighty up-and-coming photographers selected from 120 of the world’s top photography schools.

Untitled Explosion #CFX18 by Geoffrey H. Short

Following the success of the first reGeneration project in 2005, which surveyed fifty emerging photographers from around the world, reGeneration2 brings together eighty up-and-coming artists from thirty countries working in the medium of photography. Selected by curators from The Musée de l’Elysée in Lausanne, Switzerland from hundreds of entries submitted by the world’s top Photography schools, the compiled works look to the future of the medium as well as showcase artists whom will be redefining it.

Aperture published the US edition of reGeneration and will be releasing reGeneration2: Tomorrow’s Photographers Today in the fall of 2010. An exhibition of images from reGeneration2 recently opened at The Musée de l’Elysée in Lausanne this weekend and will remain on view through September.
