APHOTOGRAPHY: The Photographs of a Ridiculous Man

Four new talk and discussion events with Stills Research Associate, David Grinly.

Introducing each discussion with an idea from a novel by Dostoevsky, these evening discussions will offer participants a chance to consider their own approaches to photography as a method of thinking.

David will outline how his own research contributes to his practice, combining challenging questions about the essences of the medium with (relatively…) approachable references to literature, music and film.

These talks are suitable for anyone who wants to reflect on the way they view and make photographs.
