So Much Unspoken So Little Revealed

Fri, 08 Mar 2013 10:10:00 +0100

Det är med stor tillförsikt och stolthet jag ser mina studenter på Masterutbildningen i Fotografi´s första år vid Akademin Valand presentera sig i denna deras första grupputställning So Much Unspoken So Little Revealed. Deras arbeten visar genomgående på ett sökande efter andra eller nya innovativa sätt att tala. Om fotografi. Med fotografi. Genom fotografi. Det är också så vi arbetar tillsammans i utbildningen. Genom samtal, i rum. Vi delar med oss och talar om våra erfarenheter. Vi letar efter nya strategier, vi använder oss av nya och gamla tekniker för att försöka ta fotografiet till platser det inte förut varit på. De flesta av oss tror att vi vet vad fotografi är. Men i en tid, när tolkningen av vår omvärld verkar mer komplex än någonsin, inte minst i relation till de ämnen som tas upp i utställningen (miljöfrågor, konsumtion, politik, ekonomi och genusfrågor (måste fotografiets roll och betydelse hela tiden omdefinieras. So Much Unspoken So Little Revealed visar på att det finns så mycket mer att säga. Att vi måste fortsätta vara i ständig konversation, med bilden. Med fotografiet. Med varandra.

- Professor Lotta Antonsson
