In this class we will look at the practice of self-portraiture as if it is a room. A space. A container. What are the makings of it? What can be made of it? What does it hold outside of our physical body? What can it hold outside of our physical body and furthermore what can be imaged of it? These are the questions that will lay the groundwork for how we will challenge the traditions of photographic self-portraiture. We will think about performance, still life photography, conceptual photography and documentary. But most importantly, we will think about our relationship to interior space–our rooms, literally, metaphorically or both. And, in the thinking of all of these different elements, it will help create self-portraits that move within and outside of the realm of the common definition of a photographic self-portrait: the photographer standing in front of the lens. Students will come out of this class with a new body of work. The class will include discussions, critiques and technical guidance.
