Image Power: The Life of a Photograph
"When [photographs] are taken, they capture the present, but when we look at them, they show us the past. After that, a single beautiful photo may be contemplated again and again, serving different purposes and generating community through shared experience. The same image may also be viewed by people elsewhere, viewed from other perspectives. Clearly, photographs wield morphing power in global visual culture. This talk will follow one photograph through various stages of its unfolding life. Be warned, we may never actually pin it down!" - Holly EdwardsÂ
The Skidmore College Art History Department, MDOCS, and the Tang Teaching Museum present a lecture by Holly Edwards, Senior lecturer in Art at Williams College.Â
