TAG Berkeley Show
Last month I participated in “Opening Dialogs in Archaeological Photography” at the USA 2011 edition of TAG held at UC Berkeley in sunny California. The session, organised by Heather Law, consisted of an exhibition of the work of 11 archaeologist photographers and an afternoon session of “dialogues” with those involved.
Fotis Ifantidis
Fotis Ifantidis’ Visualizing Neolithic blog was one of the early inspirations for this project. His work is exciting in that it subverts and challenges the very notion of what “good archaeological photography” is all about. His images are heavily post processed, often pixelated and distorted. Fotis’ work seems to embody a kind of post-punk grittiness that compliments a kind of confrontational attitdue in the material.
