The European Cultural Centre, in collaboration with Urbanautica and Paris College of Arts, will host for the first time the International Photography Conference Blurring the Lines at Palazzo Mora on November 23rd. As education is a never-ending process, this conference creates an open dialogue on photography and education with professionals, experts, and students.
We aim to explore the meanings and the possible future developments of this topic that is essential in tracing and understanding where photography is going nowadays. Photography has evolved considerably since its invention, and the use of different processes and tools goes along with its evolution. The notion of storyteller itself has changed, placing the storyteller in a position in which a variety of tools allow him/her to communicate the same message in different ways. Photography is a generous medium with resources that are not merely physical materials and processes. They come with their beliefs and conventions that affect our understanding and the ways of production. Our approach to image-making is founded on the development of a new medium that can change the way we use existing media. For instance, new technologies can be used as amplifiers of locomotion and disclosure. And, with the invention of digital photography, the medium has become more accessible and less-technically craft-based, which demands a complete re-think of its definition and aesthetic approach.
