Forensic Architecture / Antiphotojournalism

Staatliche Hochschule fuer Bildende Kuenste-Staedelschule, Frankfurt

The principle of forensics assumes two interrelated sets of spatial relations. The first is a relation between an event and the objects in which it is registered, and the second is a relation between the object and the forum that is assembled around it. Conversation with Eyal Weizman, on 11 november. Artists, reporters, citizens, scholars, activists and archivists are doing exciting things that link the image to political and social struggles, often in unexpected ways. Their work is interesting in its own right, and for the deeper questions it often raises about the fundamental concepts of photojournalism. What are evidence, access, coverage, reporting, bearing witness, and how are these practices in their hegemonic form increasingly fragile and open to reconsideration? With Thomas Keenan, on 12 november. Hours: 7pm, admission free.
