FACE Off - part II
Work-in-Progress - Embodied experiences of trauma from war.
'PHOTOGRAPHY AS A MEDIUM IS OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH THE PSYCHIC
EFFECTS OF TRAUMA. THE AUTOMATICITY OF THE PROCESS, THE WIDE-OPEN
CAMERA LENS, AND THE LIGHT SENSITIVITY OF FILM ALL LEND THEMSELVES TO
THIS ASSOCIATION. JUST AS PHOTOGRAPHY, TO SOME EXTENT, BYPASSES
ARTISTIC INVENTION AND CONVENTION, SO ALSO THE TRAUMATIC EVENT
BYPASSES CONSCIOUSNESS. BOTH INVOLVE AN INDELIBLE IMPRESSION OF
SOMETHING GENERATED OUTSIDE.'
Margaret Iversen - Photography, Trace, and Trauma, 2017
