Workshop: From Ideogram to Photography

Led by Guillermo Ueno

The form and use of photography have changed since the rise of social media. While amateur photographers have always existed, never before have they been so numerous or shared such a defining trait: each individual owns a camera, photographs constantly, shares those images, and awaits validation from an audience.

This phenomenon brings with it the need to consider a photographic language—one that can organize and transform the endless stream of images into an organic discourse, much like the written and spoken languages we use every day.

The workshop draws inspiration from Chinese and Japanese ideograms and seeks to approach photography as a method of multiple readings, independent from the verbal language we typically rely on.

The goal of the workshop is to create the necessary conditions to begin thinking of photography as an organic language.
