VISUAL ANALYSIS: 
IMAGE THRESHOLD

LIVE ONLINE WORKSHOP

This course offers tools for visual analysis of various expressive-communicative mechanisms of the image.  

Various strategies and criteria for visual analysis will be discussed, based on cases of images in archives or the production of artists and managers and researchers who deal with processes of: intertextuality between photography and other plastic supports, discursive plots and archives, visual anthropology, image and living matter, experimental art and links between written and visual testimonies, different supports for visuals of social mobilisations, photographic recording of artistic processes as political criticism and photography of performing arts. 

The course consists of 8 sessions of 2 hours each.
