About the workshop
This workshop will delve into the methodical conditions necessary for integrating photography as a practice within research. Founded upon the phenomenological aesthetics of Hans-Georg Gadamer, we will explore photographic methods and practices that enable the image to play an active part in research, both as a means of inquiry and as empirical material. Further, the workshop will examine relevant image strategies from the New Topographics movement and its legacy.
About the speaker
Lars Rolfsted Mortensen, Adjunct and Architect MA PhD at the Royal Danish Academy, focuses his research on recent heritage, particularly the industrial and infrastructural heritage from the post-war period. He employs photography as a means to examine and disseminate the spatial and aesthetic characteristics of the liminal heritage objects central to his research. Lars has contributed to the theory and methodology of employing photography empirically within a phenomenological tradition.
