BRIEF
This module
is designed to be experimental. Using a media other than stills based or camera
based image making you must devise a body of work that pushes the conventions,
and results in you working outside of your comfort zone (aesthetically/
conceptually/ stylistically).
Allan
Sekula
[Photographer,
writer, and theorist, b. 1951, Erie, Pennsylvania, d. 2013, Los Angeles.]
“Despite
the powerful impression of reality (imparted by the mechanical registration of
a moment of reflected light according to the rules of normal perspective),
photographs, in themselves, are fragmentary and incomplete utterances.”
John Updike
[Writer, b.
1932, Shillington, Pennsylvania, d. 2009, Boston, Massachusetts.]
“A
photograph presents itself not only as a visual representation, but as
evidence, more convincing than a painting because of the unimpeachable
mechanical means whereby it was made. We do not trust the artist’s flattering
hand; but we do trust film, and shadows, and light.”
Jim
Goldberg
[Photographer,
b. 1953, New Haven, Connecticut, lives in San Francisco.]
“[A
photograph] is a part of the evidence. I’m not saying it’s the truth—it’s part
of the evidence.”
