Magali Duzant, Matt Whitman, Ella Condon with Jim Ramer
Saturday, October 25 - 9:00AM to 9:45AM
Clark Theater
We see photography as a method for tracing, recording, and illuminating shifts within time. The traditions of photography, including the space of the darkroom, the materiality of tradition, are not negated but complemented by newer technologies. We will approach this panel and discuss how the ubiquitous and the sublime go hand in hand. The ubiquitous could be seen as the sublime through the perspective of a trained eye.
At its core, the photograph in its myriad of forms, be it analogue, digital, still, or cine remains the index of a choice, one that we repeat every time we pick up a camera and continue the trajectory of our discipline.
The photograph is the decision to fracture a moment of light and shadow as it appears in an instant, crystalized out of the flow of constant becoming that characterizes temporal experience.
Even as the media that inform this process continue to evolve, become ubiquitous, become precious, become scarce what we carry forward as artists and educators is this core: the continuation of a dialogue-through-making of what and how a moment is constituted as worthy of sublimation via the photographic process.
