Looking Out, Looking In: The Romance of Impossible Photographs
Friday, October 02 - 1:00PM to 2:00PM
Medallion D
From its earliest days, photographers have tried using the medium to depict the impossible. During the nineteenth century, scientists and others used photography to document the moon, the stars, the sun, and other phenomena their technologies were not quite able to capture. A century later, many Conceptual artists used lens-based technologies to record an inner landscape of emotion and private experience inaccessible to mechanical reproduction. This paper, drawn from in-progress research, links the two groups through the notion of wonder.
