WEEK 4: SUPERVISOR SESSION


Preparation

I started out with a list of photo topics to the theme »Mut zur Lücke«.

progress3

Looking roughly through my photo archive I grabbed the photos that suited my list above to have a very first impression what a photo series could look like.

After that I questioned myself which of these can be realized in isolation (What is indoors or in the neighborhood? etc) and how can I work in isolation (What can I use that I already have around me?). These are the leftovers.

… this would be a rather boring photo series.

Therefore shifting my original proposal idea to the question »What will I miss in isolation?« and doing a very first photo test.

Conversation about

Why do I study a masters degree?

·    mostly interested in conceptual work, digging deeper

·    also the technical part as it would be good for me to actually get practice

Books to have a look at:

·    Moritz Neumüller »The Routledge Companion to Photography and Visual Culture« > especially chapter 3 (survey theories and ideas)

·    Liz Wells »Photography, a critical Introduction« (2015) (debates and surveys)

Artists to have a look at:

·    Patrick Pound

·    Sophie Calle

·    Geoffrey Batchen »Forget me not« (Archive Artist) > not necessary to use my own images

·    Richard Prince

Why all the reading:

·    broader overview

·    not whole book but just interesting chapters

>    then go deeper into topic

·    just google »photography archive theory memory« and see what you come out with

>    e.g. »Editorial: Special Issue on Photography, Archive and Memory«

·    search for artists, curators

>    What are others doing?

>    finding key ideas

>    inspirational ideas, triggers

WHY gives access:

·    projector idea

>    find things with relationship and adding those (to be projected on)

>    stories, cultural narratives

>    inform and influence people insights

·    me

>    as it's a personal project
