I will follow the first person that walks by when I leave the house.
I will continue following that person as long as they stay in motion.
Whenever or wherever that person stops or moves into a private
space or enters a building or alters significantly their pace or encounters
another person, I will stay.

WORTH A 1000 WORDS? Image and Text: From Representation to a New Politics of Seeing
Since the advent of photography, the complex relationship between photographic image, text and politics has been embedded in photographic and artistic practices as well as critical discourses of photo theory. During the winter semester 2020/21 Studio Image explored the relationship between image, text and politics of communication. We examined a series of examples on a timeline running from the heyday of humanistic photography to the implications of today’s digital technologies. The heart of this semester’s project is artistic projects that innovatively relate to text layers.
