Behind, Partimbo, near Kittel, Manyara Region, Tanzania, 2018. Maseriani Lenyirai, entering her home. From the series “From Where Loss Comes”, Platinum-palladium (1:1) print on Revere Platinum paper from original 20x25 cm negative.
Language: English
Duration: about 1 hour
There is an important connection between the materials that make up an image, what one sees in the image, and what it is about. The lecture will consider this relationship between materiality and vision through Pradip Malde's use of the platinum-palladium printing process in recent work, From Where Loss Comes. The project, about to become a book, uses platinum-palladium printed photographs to locate the tragic practice of female genital cutting within the larger complex of human behaviors that promise membership of community in exchange for personal loss. Malde will talk about his thinking and how the processes of creative expression help him understand the human condition better.
The lecture will be held in English.
