Invisible Nation

About

In response to Ffotogallery's current exhibition Raymond Depardon - Villes/Cities, Dr Daniel Meadows, photographer and lecturer in Photography and Participatory Media at Cardiff University, discusses what is revealed when amateur photography is brought into the light. Invisible Nation will focus on the notion of a democratic, 'amateur' approach to photography; a shift away from purely technical considerations or a desire to 'capture' the essence of the subject in a single image. Parallels will be drawn between Depardon's involvement in the project 'Images Cachées - Hidden Images' at Luxembourg's National Centre for the AudioVisual and Meadow's own experiences as creative director of Capture Wales, a project which has been described as the most ambitious of all the BBC's user generated content offerings".
