Topics in Visual Culture: Photographic Interiors

(4 Credits)

This course examines photographers who engage in sustained studies of interior worlds as practices, meditations, and journeys of the artists and the people they document. The course focuses on themes and topics of intimate relationships, self-study, psychic and spiritual life, mental health, daily rituals, and the body. Engaging visual theory, narrative writing, and artists’ portfolios, we study the techniques, processes, and aesthetics that image-makers employ to express interior life.
