His talk has so many interesting points. There is always something refreshing in their (together with Oliver Chanarin) practices and projects. Their works have strong and complex social, economic, political context and for every projects, they had done so much research work. It is not only the images but also, more importantly the story, the edit, and the text that create strong meaning and personal point of views. He gave a lot of leads for me to engage further, such as military & game, camera & machine gun, entertainment & war, analytic & enjoying… His conceptual approach questions the current situation that media represent the world and we have less and less resistance. He gave several examples to advice not to respond to image – pay more attention to context. Yes, how could one image represent everything? I need to see more, the situation when the photographer took the shot, his contact sheets, the background situation of the incident. It was a mind blowing talk!
