What is a photograph’s connection to truth?
Photographers often grapple with how to create images that relate to the people and places they depict. Despite the challenges of documentary photography to make meaningful images of the world, photographers consistently seek innovative strategies to capture the twists and bends of human experience.
Including four artists featured in the exhibition Truth Told Slant, this pair of conversations delves into the slipperiness between photography’s perceived objectivity and the ways it can elicit doubt. The first conversation—between Jill Frank and Tommy Kha—addresses the intersection of documentary and autobiography to explore how photographs are used to articulate and communicate identity. The second conversation— between Rose Marie Cromwell and Kristine Potter—considers the limitations of the medium and how these photographers employ speculation, performance, and immersive visual experiences to engage viewers. Gregory Harris, Donald and Marilyn Keough Family Curator of Photography, moderates both conversations.
