“Inanimate Nature” föreläsning på engelska med Geoffrey Batchen.
Little has been published about reproductive daguerreotypes, a genre of photographic still life in which another picture—a drawing, an engraving, a lithograph, a painting, a printed text—is the sole referent. However, as this paper demonstrates, a study of reproductive daguerreotypes is a study of daguerreotypy itself—of its capacities and limitations as a medium, of its major figures and its diversity of commercial applications, of its many possible meanings, functions and related viewing practices. Most significantly, by offering reproduction without multiplicity, these objects also complicate the usual way that reproduction is discussed and call for a different understanding of that process.

Photography at Work
The camera and the photograph are constantly at work, they are working tools that make visible, spread and hide at the same time. The technique does something with our perception and with our way of reading the world. It affects the way we navigate and interact with our surroundings. We have invited four lecturers under the heading "Photography at work". All lectures take place via Zoom. Links will be accessible through this Facebook event or at www.centrumforfotografi.se
