Forest Kelley, Marni Shindelman, Andres Gonzalez, Sameer Farooq: Documenting the Made-invisible
Panel
Related Member: Forest Kelley
How should we document the made-invisible? Short of access, how should we as photographers attempt to make pictures, document, or photographically represent histories or circumstances when being present with our primary subject isn't possible? Andres Gonzalez, Forest Kelley, Sameer Farooq, and Marni Shindelman will discuss the strategies, ethics, and social implications of making work about subjects that have been siloed by social, political, or economic forces. From prisons and detention centers to the growth of virtual labor markets, from stolen artifacts to mass shootings, what are the forces that push people into isolation, and social events beyond the horizon, and how can we as photographers respond? How does depicting absence change what a photograph can be?
