inFORM * (trying to find a tag for this sort of source of information/inspiration/challenge)  Via The Online Photographer a useful and informative blog comes a link to great video talk by Taryn Simon part of the TED talks which are often fantastic and challenging. Taryn Simons images are in the zone of ‘contemporary photography’ and she has a good measure of ‘post-modern’ in her way of speaking but (even so) worth the 17 minutes. Towards the end she introduces her images of US men wrongly convicted using photographic evidence, worth jumping to if you can’t spare the time for the earlier images of secret sites (which I like as much) Here is the link to the TED Talk I also like the way the text (here spoken by the author) is an intrinsic part of the work. She speaks of the way’ the image is meant to kind of float away into abstraction and multiple truths and fantasy….while the text functions as this cruel anchor and nails it to the ground’. Interesting stuff here about the relationship between text and image.
