ICP Exhibition Explores Photocopied Images in New York

The International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York will present 'Hard Copy New York,' a winter 2026 exhibition examining the contemporary use of photocopied images. Curated by David Campany and Aaron Stern, the show reasserts photography's inherent power through the copy, challenging notions of individuality and authorship in a city where millions create and recreate images. The exhibition highlights how photographs circulate, evolve, and return in new forms—reprinted, reposted, or reframed—amid a digital era where physical copies are increasingly rare.
