This workshop shifts focus from photographic representations to the actions that produce them. How are photographic acts performative, and what is performativity? We explore together the concepts of performativity and photographic acts and how to use them as part of artistic methods.
The course aims to provide a grasp on conceptual artistic and photographic work, strengthen students’ ability to work on a personal artistic project, introduce ideas around performativity and seriality in contemporary photography and how these reflect photographic histories and practices, and encourage students to develop critical thinking in their work.
