#005 - Photography Statement of Intent
I’ve just finished the second module of my master’s program in photography. The module was assessed through an in-progress-portfolio and a video documentary around my own photographic methods. Both assignments are handed in but not yet graded as I record this.
Despite the discrepancy between the podcast format and the visual nature of photography, I’ll use this episode to make those two assignments public.
#004 - In Search of a Sustainable Photographic Practice
Heading for an assessment dealing with sustainability in photographic or visual practice. I’ve been reading two articles on sustainability from the post-humanities field. Maybe these can push me further ahead than the “minimise carbon footprint” discourse.
#003 - Creativity, Plagiarism and Authorship
A call to not strive for originality. Are photos narrating the essence of being human? Objects, machines and environment as my fave collaborators.
#002 - Flóra Borsi is a Cyborg (in the Donna Haraway sense)
This episode is dedicated to an analysis of contemporary photography using Donna Haraway’s classic text The Cyborg Manifesto and a few other related theoretical ideas. Karen Barad’s idea of socio-materiality and intra-action and Michel Callon’s actor-network theory.
#001 - Naked on a Loading Dock at 2AM
Location scouting. Night photography. Dealing with curious strangers. Feeling photo resistance. How the sum is greater than individual parts. The strength of a collection. About not really ever being finished.
#000 - A Photo Origin Story
From gray space Lego, home computer controlled slide shows and a garden shed dark room, to exploratory photographic research projects and master’s studies.
