JASON FULFORD: “PHOTOGRAPHY & THE SUBCONSCIOUS”
TOKYO, JAPAN, APRIL 11-14, 2024
DESCRIPTION
If you show a photograph to five people, they will often respond differently. Each picture has hidden meanings, waiting to be teased out. The image is fixed, but the meaning is fluid.
As an editor (of your own work, or of others’), you have some control over how the picture is interpreted. You can play with the photograph’s inherent ambiguity to either heighten the mystery or clarify a point of view. You can also use chance mechanisms and other techniques to discover meanings that you couldn’t see before.
Over three days of rigorous games and exercises, using your pictures, we will experiment with these topics. A few of our heroes will be Sarah Charlesworth, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, and Raymond Queneau.
On day four, we will explore Tokyo together, and I will show you some of my favorite places in the city.
We will think in both abstract & literal ways; with emotion & logic; with poetry & judgment. And we will let chance be our guide. You should come with an open mind, a sense of humor and a strong work ethic. The desired outcome is a way of thinking and living that generates rich and layered meanings.
