Book excerpt: The Ecology of Photography explores the foundations of art making: our senses and perceptions, space, curiosity, cognition, and how those elements impact the way we view and interpret our world and the photographs we make. This is an exploration of the "why" of photography, not the "how", based on years of experience as both a biologist and artist, thoughts and research about the process of photography and art making.

Download or read book Photography and Environmental Activism written by Conohar Scott and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-05-30 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication maps out key moments in the history of environmentalist photography, while also examining contemporary examples of artistic practice. Historically, photography has acted as a technology for documenting the industrial transformation of the world around us; usually to benefit the interests of capitalist markets. An alternative photographic tradition exists, however, in which the indexical image is used 'evidentially' to protest against incidents of industrial pollution. By providing a definition of environmental activism in photographic praxis, and identifying influential practitioners, this publication demonstrates that photography plays a vital role in the struggle against environmental despoliation. This book will be of interest to scholars in photography, art and visual culture, environmental humanities, and the history of photography.

Download or read book Mining Photography written by Siobhan Angus and published by Spector Books. This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A political history of photography's ecological impact, from its origins to the present Photography has always depended on the extraction and exploitation of raw materials. Having started out using copper, coal, silver and paper in the 19th and 20th centuries, photography now relies, in the age of the smartphone, on rare metals such as coltan, cobalt and europium. This volume focuses on the history of the raw materials utilized in photography, establishing a connection between the history of their extraction, their disposal and climate change. Looking at historical and contemporary works, it demonstrates that the medium is deeply implicated in human-induced changes to nature. Photographers include: Ignacio Acosta, Eduard Christian Arning, Lisa Barnard, Hermann Biow, F&D Cartier, Oscar and Theodor Hofmeister, Susanne Kriemann, Jürgen Friedrich Mahrt, Mary Mattingly, Daphné Nan Le Sergent, Lisa Rave, Hermann Reichling, Alison Rossiter, Metabolic Studio's Optics Division, Robert Smithson, Simon Starling, Anaïs Tondeur, James Welling, Noa Yafe and Tobias Zielony.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Goin and the Photography of Environmental Change narrates the forty-year quest of award-winning and internationally exhibited contemporary photographer Peter Goin to document human-altered landscapes across America and beyond. It is a collaborative work between an artist and a literary critic, a retrospective of an accomplished environmental photographer, and an innovative education in visual reading. Enduring howling wind, pounding rain, and blistering sun, Goin bears witness to radioactive landscapes, abandoned mines, simulated swamps, rechanneled rivers, controlled burns, overgrown ruins, industrialized agriculture, shrinking reservoirs, feral spaces in the city, architected wilderness, sacred wastelands, contested borderlands, and more. Based on more than seventy hours of taped interviews with the artist spanning over a decade, trailblazing ecocritic Cheryll Glotfelty narrates the arc of Goin's career, sharing excerpts from their conversations that reveal his brilliant mind and piquant personality while situating his work within the broader context of environmental thinkers. This beautifully illustrated volume, with 200 images in color and black-and-white showcasing Goin’s work, will be a fascinating and insightful read for upper-level students, academics, and researchers in photography, environmental history and culture, landscape studies, and environmental humanities.

Download or read book For an Ecology of Images written by Peter Szendy and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2025-01-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new, ecological approach to images by a renowned philosopher When Susan Sontag first proposed the idea of an “ecology of images” in On Photography, she meant it as an exhortation to be vigilant against the onslaught of images from advertising and television that she believed threatened our ability to truly see. Today, beyond deep anxieties over a diminishing “attention economy,” concern focuses on the environmental cost of storing and circulating the digital images that confront us with unprecedented speed. Against the disposable rapidity demanded by digital media, Peter Szendy emphasizes the labor and time required to produce and properly view images. His inquisitive mind and sparkling, associative style of writing take us from the animal kingdom to the scientific history of the shadow, the theorems of Pliny to Nabokov’s butterflies, the first use of slo-mo in film and the first aerial photograph.
