Look/13

This is a post from the weareoca.com archive. Information contained within it may now be out of date.

Look/13 is the second edition of the Liverpool Photography Festival. Tutor Keith Roberts will be leading a study visit on Saturday 8 June and there is plenty to see and discuss. According to the festival website:

The theme of LOOK/13 is summed up in the question ‘who do you think you are?’. The festival’s programme looks at what happens when we turn the camera on ourselves and others to create images of identity, subjectivity and the self.

The question is a vital one for photography, which is deployed in a multitude of ways to construct, explore and project such images. Since its beginnings in the nineteenth century the medium has expanded and evolved to assume a presence in every part of our lives, in ways that point to wider philosophical debates about human autonomy and the nature of the self. In recent years photographs have become enmeshed in our daily lives in ways that we are only beginning to understand.

So join us and let’s see if we agree. Places are free for OCA students, to reserve your place please email enquiries@oca-uk.com

What a juicy brief! Is self-portraiture included in any of the photography modules?

  Self-portraiture can worked into a number of modules Stephanie, from People and Place at level 1 to being the major project at level 3. Here is what student Keith Greenough is doing with it at level 3.

    Thanks. Yes I was sure it would be possible but was wondering if it might be explored in any course material/assignments (sorry for not making that clearer).

  Is it excluded? Surely a portrait is a portrait?
