Mobile Photography & Art Flickr and Instagram Showcase – 21 March 2021

Marcel Proust describes, In Search of Lost Time, his own experiences of ‘involuntary memories‘, these are profound and unexpected glimpses of the past triggered by mundane and everyday experiences. Escaping time, is in essence the affect of ‘involuntary memories‘, they return us to past events.  Photography, is the perfect medium to use as the physical connection to illustrate and explore this. Susan Sontag pronounced that, all photographs are memento mori, to take a photograph is to participate in another persons (or things) mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to times relentless melt. (Sontag, 1979: 15).   According to Roland Barthes photographs exist because something was there, something ‘that-has- been’ (Barthes, 1980: 77).  My challenge to you all this week (and I will formally announce this later in the week), is to make a ‘self portrait’ through objects. Please create a series of five images and include the tag #tawspobjects on Instagram. We’ll be taking a closer look at these over the coming weeks, please join in. For now, while you ponder all that, enjoy this weeks thrilling Mobile Photography and Art Showcase .
