ADI - Image & Text I

  • Bill Owens & Taryn Simon
  • Looking at established photographers
  • Bill Owens lived in the suburbs. Wasn't voyeur (outsider looking in)
  • After Suburbia book he took break for 20 years until digital photography
  • Captions that accompany his photographs make social statement
  • Some photos have no text - unusual to mix and match
  • The captions are what he hears in suburbs while he photographs although not necessarily matched up
  • Website is very user friendly (links all there)
  • Taryn Simon - text states the facts
  • Detailed website
  • 90% research, phone calls etc
  • Multiple truths - artists intent, viewer, context
  • Invisible space between image and text
