Questions on Metering

water meter ©Brenda Burrell 2009

1. Photography is a highly unstable communications media, and malleable.

2. What is pictorial organicism?

3. Illusionistic space = figurative easel painting, & therefore retrograde.

4. Suture/rupture activates the viewer & positions them ideaologically & sociologically.

5. Self conscious corporeal reality = filmic narrative.

6. Ideological imaginary or distorted relations are reinforced by press & the cinema.

7. The cognitive dissonance of the enigma.

8. The “yes I know but..” of photography.

All finds in loose pages from a notebook used during 2008-9 to scribble quotations, thoughts, strings of ideas, pretty word groupings. All grist, all quite challenging. Quite what they relate to isn’t all that important, and they’re unsequenced, some sideways, some underlined or in bubbles.

The name ‘Peter Kennard‘ is in one bubble, so it’s possible that bits of this were written at an evening seminar on the history of collage/photomontage in photography at DCAPS, wherein the academic proffered that there’s no-one using collage in photography today. “Are you talking to me?” she asked, when I mentioned Kennard’s name. He’s speaking about his collaboration with Cat Phillips at the Mining Institute on 3rd December. You need to book, but it’s free. I can’t wait. Here’s the flyer:
