Welcome to the blog for Photographic art, the 2nd year project in Digital Photography at London South Bank University.
Photographic Art is a unit that examines the nature of photographic art through historical and theoretical analysis and practical projects. It will focus upon the understanding of representational strategies developed in the context of surrealism, both in terms of the material aspects of photographic practices and the psychological and social constructs involved. It will also examine contemporary photographic work develop in dialogue with surrealism, in terms of representation of the everyday and the self. In the course of this unit participants will also look at the relationship between photography and other visual media such as fine art, moving image and synthetic world.
