Not movement. A technology. That might or might not involve photography in any way.Virtual Reality VR could be the new movement, at least according to Zuckerberg. My smart TV still can play 3D although all if not most of the new TVs can't do 3D anymore. How about robots taking pictures of us?
“What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.”
Ecclesiastes 1:9 — The New International Version (NIV)
It's importance is only for those who want control and attention.
If you desire neither then it's irrelevant, you are free to do as you please.
There will be a new photographic movement however we do not know what its name is, when it will start, when it will end or what its description will be. We must be patient.
It may already ne happening, and we may be part of it. Some historian someday will tell us what it is called.
It can help collectors, curators and gallerists identify a unifying factor for exhibitions and acquisitions.
Pieter12. I was introduced to August Sanders work that was shot of/through his studio window very recently. I enjoyed it a lot. I only mentioned the worry about being derivative (cliche, copycat, whatever term one chooses) because it seems like a lot of people get caught up in labeling others work as such or (like me), worried that their own work will be. I recognize my own worry in this regard and hence can and will work through it. This particular facet of photography has nothing much to do with the OP original question though.
An interesting aspect of movements is that they are, as previously mentioned, not really defined until years later. A good example is Precisionism. During its time those involved might have referred to themselves at the Immaculates abut Precisionist became the later label that stuck.
That movement is one that has resonated with me and influenced my own work, primarily my drawing and painting but also the hybrid work I do combining drawing with cyanotypes. The movement, which started after WWI was not just painters but also photographers, notably Paul Strand who was promoted by fellow photographer Alfred Stieglitz.
I don’t really concern myself with whether there will be another photographic movement but it is an interesting topic. One question that arises is how do movements of the past or present influence your own work?
Control freaks.
Just a noun with a sales pitch.
What is (are) the current recognized movement(s) in photography, if any. When did it (they) start and who are its (their) practitioners? If there is (are) no current recognized movement(s) in photography, what was the most recent recognized movement in photography? When did it start and who were (are) its practitioners?
Someone mentioned the Dusseldorf School, which was comprised of photographers who attended the Dusseldorf School of Photography in the 1970s and 1980s, and New Topographics, which had its show at the George Eastman House in 1975. It is interesting that the Bechers work was in the New Topographics show and they founded the Düsseldorf School of Photography. Any newer recognized movements?
The GWC School specializing in selfies and what they are about teat.
Is that related to a dick pic?

Sometimes I feel that I’m 90 years too late with my photography, because I would have felt right at home with the Precisionists. I saw the large exhibition in Dallas (Cult of the Machine), and they almost had to drag me out at closing time.
That’s exactly where I find myself in many areas. I never watch TV but I have a very large collection of vintage radio programs (over 65,000) which work especially well in the darkroom.
That said, just because a movement has passed on, it doesn’t mean one’s own work cannot embrace it.
Sirius XM satellite radio channel 148 has old radio programs like Gunsmoke, The Shadow, Bob Hope, Johnny Diamond etc. Boston Blackie.
So I’ve heard but I understand that is a subscription service.
Most subscription services count on you either forgetting you're subscribed or just making it difficult to cancel.Something many avoid because it is easy to sign up for too many subscription services and then hard to get out of some of the later.
