Educability of experience is a study series which contains various attempts on displaying locations photographically. The study examines, to what extent our perception of a place is influenced by already existing architectural photography.
An absorbed photograph can’t substitute experience, however, the own shot of the same motive is influenced by the reception without doubt. How does one elude the perpetual reproduction of a picture?
Leading questions of the study
How are places represented?
In which ways can places be represented?
Why does one take a photo of places already extensively documented over and over again in a similar manner?
Why does the experience of a place become real only by taking the perspective of the archetypal picture?
The urge of taking photos - a need to hold on to experience in a certain visual manner?
