Screen Walk With Joan Fontcuberta
About this film
In this Screen Walk Joan Fontcuberta unveiled a post-photographic practice to adopt when images dematerialize. Digital technology, the Internet, mobile phones and social networks lead us to a new scenario of visual saturation and the frenzied circulation of images. Mourning for lost materiality leads us to vindicate the terrible beauty of wounds and scars, traumas, the blows that life has inflicted on images. How to cling to what remains of the object in the photograph? Maybe eating it. If the photograph can be eaten, it is because it still has material substance. So let's praise "photophagy"! Screen Walks is a series of live-streamed artist/researcher-led explorations of online spaces and artistic strategies designed to illuminate a thriving – often overlooked – digital cultural scene. A new online collaboration between The Photographers’ Gallery , UK and Fotomuseum Winterthur , Switzerland.
