The scaling-up of photographic practices so that images expand to cover the wall or are presented at an architectural scale has become especially popular at European photography festivals. Examining the popularization of vinyl printing and new digital processes, which operate at an intersection of digital technology and material practice, this chapter examines how the use of large-scale imagery describes the crossing economies of attention and image circulation.
