J. Sybylla Smith, In Conversation with Anastasia Samoylova and David Campany
Manage episode 333275379 series 3367479
A palpable synergy permeates David Campany’s animated sequence of over 140 images and paintings in Anastasia Samoylova, Walker Evans Floridas. A playful interaction that recontextualizes Evans' archive, also illuminates photography’s unique ability to capture paradox, metaphor and oxymoron. Both Samoylova and Evans investigate deeper truths and the mixed feelings generated at the intersection of myth, reality and the wild possibilities in between.
In this conversation, Anastasia Samoylova and David Campany discuss, among other things:
Contributing to the roadtrip canon from a female perspective
Looking first
Ungendered images
Parsimony and composition
Showing time in one frame
Ability of work to endure
Leaving meaning open
Nietzsche and Baudelaire
Nostalgia
Sovereign
Sense of scale
