Still Images as Text Workshop Agenda

Every Picture tells a Story
Whenever we look at a photographic image we engage in a series of complex readings which relate as much to the expectations and assumptions that we bring to the image as to the photographic subject itself. Indeed, rather than the notion of looking, which suggests a passive act of recognition, we need to insist that we read a photograph, not as an image but as a text.
~ Clarke 1997

Goal:

  1. Rekindle the previous day’s conversation, and add additional text to broaden the perspective and deepen the conversation around issues that matter.  (Digital still shot of Japanese power company president bowing to victim - still shot as text, global perspective)

  2. Consider the types of questions that keep conversation about controversial issues alive.
