lecture three: the image speaks
DESCRIPTION
The third lecture provides a space in which the most unruly and restive of the lanternslides may be revealed. The lecture investigates the spectrum of the images’ semantic contents and aesthetic qualities that exists within the collection. The selection exposes the images that confounded the curators during their exploration, due to their qualities such as blurriness and either under or over exposure. The images’ incomprehensible nature and their ability to seemingly evade anthropological categorisation, led the curators to question how these slides might have been used for teaching.TRANSCRIPT
