How do we perceive the art of loving ourselves?

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.
