Imaging Time Talk

A few weeks ago I attended Imaging Time: Understanding Photography as Time-based Media at the Photographer’s Gallery in London. An interesting talk, it tackled the subject of time and its relationship to photography, and vice versa. The artists who presented their work with specific reference to time were not what might traditionally be thought of as photographers, but they all used photography within their art.

Naming the series

Finding the right name for this series has become quite tricky. With my other series during this MA I have found a name I feel represents the series well and (generally) guides the viewer quite quickly.

What is a Londoner?

In the introduction to his work of interviews with Londoners, Craig Taylor says (on his return to London after a brief exit to renew a visa) “I didn’t dare call myself a Londoner. But around that point I began to ask, who is? Who gets to choose?” (Taylor 2011, p.8) Who does get to choose? And what criteria might they use?

Why back to figurative?

In Paris, during our portfolio reviews, I was encouraged to see that the photographs I took with my 35mm camera were positively received. My module tutor was particularly taken in online webinars with the images of shadows.
