Image Over Experience: Using Photography to Manufacture a Sense of Place

Hans Gindlesberger

Saturday, October 19 - 11:00AM to 11:45AM
UNCC Center City Building // 204 Lecture Hall

Image Over Experience: Using Photography to Manufacture a Sense of Place surveys recent projects that explore the intersection of personal geographies with larger social narratives. The projects navigate a rich terrain of photographic thinking and making, including contemporary investigations of historical processes, imaging within new environments such as Google Street View, and innovative incorporations of architectural and industrial processes into photographic technique. The series of projects being shown all use travel as a framework for connecting the intimate and autobiographical with broader social issues and histories. This includes two recent projects, one undertaken in Germany that created a series of imagined architectures, and another in South Korea, where historical photographic processes were used to depict the psychological imprint of the monsoon season. While being rich with imagery, the lecture also places emphasis on the context and research that supports the work.
