Contemporary

“happening in the same period of time..of or in the style of the present or recent times… .”

"a rolling and evolving view of photography from a contemporaneous moment in time."

"What we refer to as a contemporary print is not a label that permanently attaches to an image. Instead, it is a reference to an image created that reflects our values, challenges and perceptions today or, in reference to a contemporaneous period for that image."

There is NO definition, the meaning is ever expanding. The more we put into the world, the more we get back. From this, can we justify that "place" is a "trope"? Do we know enough about place to imply key themes and trends within work?
