Photography (MA)

Teachers: Marie-Noëlle Boutin, Damien Safie

From the camera obscura to artificial intelligence, the diversity of means of producing photographic images invites us to think about our way of seeing and showing the contemporary world. In continuous relation with the personal approaches of the students and the issues they address, the course is designed as a space for reflection, research and creation around practices, processes and productions of images as well as the multitude of formatting, demonstration and dissemination of these. seeks are accompanied by visits to exhibitions, guest talks and more specific workshops.

Experimenting with forms, questioning meaning, situating the practice, articulating a thought through the production of images, their formatting and their mediation. The image analysis work reinforces the reflection on the project. It is a question of confronting the content and the form, of seeing what the images communicate to us and how to give meaning in the reading and the perception of the photographic work in a multidisciplinary approach of the artistic project.

The course is nourished by presentations of works and artists in a broader field of photography (historical and contemporary), but also references around their setting in space as well as editorial practices around the photographic medium.
