The Weight of Images: Making Stories and Books with Photographs

Course Number: 62474

In this course, we will create books that explore visual narrative, sequencing and sculptural form through the medium of photography. Additionally, we will consider the roles of image and text as well as design, editing, printing and binding. Our work will be informed by the history photobooks and artists' books, including by Ed Ruscha, Sophie Calle, Andres Gonzalez, Tommy Kha and Rinko Kawauchi. Lectures and field trips to book collections will guide our work, too. A lab fee is charged for this course.
