Photoliterary memoryscape of Tomas Espedal: Mitt privatliv (2014) – a starting point in a journey to one’s past

Photography is inextricably coupled with temporal conditions. It is rooted in the past while concurrently referring to the recipient’s present and future. This article sheds light on the connection between photography, literature, and memory in Tomas Espedal’s photo book Mitt privatliv (2014; My private life). The central perspective of this paper is devoted to the link between the lyrical subject’s autobiographical memory and the individual memory of the reader. My goal is to analyze how the reader finds their point of view while confronted with the lyrical subject’s memoryscape from aesthetic, anthropological, and cognitive perspectives. Firstly, I discuss the form of Espedal’s Mitt privatliv and the book’s potential liberatic character. Secondly, in reference to François Soulages and John Berger, I show how the correlation between texts and photography affects memory functioning in a photobook. Finally, I ocus on the mechanisms of autobiographical memory, or, more precisely, how the subject’s and recipient’s memories relate to the book’s physicality, structure, and the interplay between the word and photography. Looking through the lenses of Paul Ricoeur, Aleida Assmann, and the social-communicative functions of memory, it turns out that Mitt privatliv is not just a created and closed story of a single subject; it is a story that stimulates the reader’s memory and thus impacts their understanding and constitution of their “self” in both individual and collective contexts.

A Photo Book as a Box: On Mladen Teofilović’s work The Core

The history of the photo book is practically old as the history of photography. A photo book is more than just an object with leaves and pages, photographs, with or without text. Throughout The Core, the work of the young artist Mladen Teofilović, the text analyses the photography book as the relationships between text, images, and spectator. According to the artist's idea, the photo book looks like a metal box that imitates a hospital file. Conceiving the work in this way, the artist reveals and interprets the fragments from his life: his struggle with a severe migraine, his attempt to find a solution, to accept his condition and live with it. Teofilović directs his photo book to the spectator, inviting him to take a part in disassembly, analysis and reading where every picture, text or sentence does not have to but can take on a different meaning.&#x0D; &#x0D; Article received: April 12, 2022; Article accepted: June 21, 2022; Published online: September 15, 2022; Original scholarly paper

Conceptual Photo Books: Photo-Imago as a Trace of the Geist Miško Šuvaković, Dubravka Đurić

In the essay, we will deal with the models of the photo book of artists in conceptual art 1966–80. A short sketch of the international history of photo books in conceptual art will be presented, ranging from the examples of American, British, Croatian, and Serbian authors, etc. We will point out to the two levels of discussion: (1) the essential morphological properties of the book, artistic books and photo book in conceptual art – the transformation of static photographic image into a series of sequences and a series of sequences into mental representation; and (2) typology of characteristic models of photo books in conceptual art (book-project, artist's book as a first-person speech, tautological articulation of a series of photographs, analytical reflection between image and text, documentary book etc.). We will also discuss photo books in conceptual art in relation to models: phototautology, photodocuments, photoperformance, photoselfreflectivity, photoarchive, photo-remediation, photosemiology, photoshifter, photoconceptual text, phototravellers, photo-construction-of-the-every-day-life, phototranscultural narration, photoexistence, photopolitization and photo-simulation.&#x0D; Article received: April 23, 2022; Article accepted: June 21, 2022; Published online: September 15, 2022; Original scholarly paper

„… euer Blick war so, ‚wie er zu sein hatte‘“: (Post-)Sowjetische Bildpraktiken und Albenkultur am Beispiel von Kinderfotos

Using the example of children’s photos, the article investigates the question of which specifically Soviet image practices developed around children’s photography and family albums. In the first part, the focus is on the influence of studio photography on amateur photography. The second section addresses the interaction of official and private imagery using photo books and photo albums. As the “Thaw” instigated a turn from ceremoniousness to spontaneity, representative photobooks featured family-like snapshots of children. The final part deals with the question of what meanings and functions children’s photography had in the “wild 1990s”.While youths experimented with disposable cameras and new freedoms, pictures of children were still taken by adults adhering to tradition. It seems that the happy and sheltered Soviet-style childhood served as an imaginary safe haven for parents. When pictures are shared online, official narratives are challenged by counter-narratives of freedom.

Effectiveness of Virtual Reality Interactive Play for Children During Intravenous Placement: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an interactive virtual reality (VR) play intervention including instructional play and emotional catharsis play sessions in reducing children's pain and fear during intravenous placement. A randomized controlled trial with parallel groups was conducted. The sample consisted of 134 hospitalized children aged 6-12years (intervention group: n=69; comparison group: n=65). The intervention involved one immersive intravenous scene in VR before the actual intravenous placement and one emotional catharsis VR play after injection. The comparison group received an educational photo book about intravenous placement before receiving intravenous placement. The children and their caregivers rated their pain and fear by using the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale and the Children's Fear Scale. The time required for successful intravenous insertion was also compared between the two groups. Children's pain (p = .028) and fear scores (p = .004) were significantly lower in the intervention group than in the comparison group. Their caregivers' pain and fear scores (both p<.001) were significantly lower in the intervention group. The time required for successful intravenous insertion did not differ significantly between the intervention and comparison groups. The interactive play intervention with VR effectively reduced children's levels of pain and fear during the intravenous placement procedure. The results of this study can serve as a reference for the implementation of a feasible, child-friendly care practice for clinical intravenous placement in school-aged children.

Rinko Kawauchi: Imperfect Photographs

I analyze the oeuvre of contemporary Japanese photographer Rinko Kawauchi through the notion of imperfection. An approach that gives precedence to process over product and combines conceptual art with vernacular traditions makes her pictures happily imperfect. Departing from Kawauchi’s transmedial concept of the image, often lying between word and image and mainly materialized through photo books, I propose that Kawauchi’s photographs are imperfectthanks to her experimentation with technical mistakes, the vernacular subject-matter of everyday snapshots, seriality, sequencing, and format variation, elliptical visibility, the aesthetics of color, and a non-linear temporality. Imperfection emphasizes the materiality of the medium, and positions photography far removed from the referent-centered documentary domain by way of aisthethic, rather than semiotic, significance. Imperfection also activates reception as it kindles emotional involvement and participant viewing. The question remains: What is perfect then? ”Imperfect” compared to what kind of standards? Are there such? My article proposes a notion of “imperfect” defined against a received norm of technical mistakes, the vernacular subject-matter of everyday snapshots, seriality, sequencing, and format variation, elliptical visibility, the aesthetics of color, and a non-linear temporality. The text is not centered on perfection, yet the term appears defined against boundaries, temporal culmination or the single individual shot configured a la Cartier-Bresson. My entire essay pivots around the imperfection concept. I believe the reader is eventually convinced that the concept works very well - if not perfectly! for reading Kawauchi’s work. What is a mistake after all? For sure some of them are mistakes, if we have standards based on photography technique guides. But fine art photography has seldom followed these rules. My text progressively unpacks the notion of “mistake”. At this point (abstract), the text seeks to present ideas and call upon a common usage of terms to communicate with readers easily. Complications come in the development. As you also remarked, “mistake” will later appear in my text between quotation marks. Do these really make the pictures imperfect, like this sentence suggests? Is it really imperfection that activates reception? Or is it perhaps intimate/limited viewpoint and restrictions of the frame and camera technique?

The photo book was published in 2021. Jérôme's work Final Fight for Maidan won the World Press Photo Awards in 2015. Sessini shares the story behind the creation of this image. A few days after the beginning of the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Sessini arrived in Ukraine, working on a series of photos for magazines such as "The New Yorker". Jérôme Sessini explains that the main aim for him is to create a coherent narrative in his works. The photographer always has been trying to communicate with the people he photographs. According to Jérôme, the only way to convey something to his audience is to feel and experience what you’re photographing.

독도 해양과학연구 성과의 홍보현황과 활성화 방안 연구- 한국해양과학기술원 독도전문연구센터의 성과를 중심으로 -

This study investigates and analyzes the current promotion of the results of Dokdo ocean science research and methods to invigorate the promotion as Dokdo Research Center, East Sea Research Institute, Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technolo gy (KIOST) has revealed the vast marine territory of Dokdo in the East Sea and found the value of the marine territory, contributing to the solid establishment of the island’s sovereignty as a Korean territory, along with its utilization and managem ent, and has achieved a great results performing science research activities. Founded in 2006, Dokdo Research Center has constantly performed ocean scienc e research on Dokdo and has promoted the results for 16 years. Methods to promote such results include academic papers, academic activities, patent obtaining, publicat ion of books, media advertisement, exhibitions and academic events, photo books on Dokdo, a Dokdo series, and a Dokdo experience system. According to the released information on the results of the research on Dokdo ocean science by Dokdo Research Center, during the period from 2006 to 2020, it published 82 academic papers, made 226 academic presentations, obtained 11 patents, published 35 books, made 1158 media advertisements, held 32 exhibitions, organized 227 academic events (e.g., workshop, seminar, symposium), held 107 lectures for the general public, conducted 791 field trips (visits), provided data 226 times, totaling about 3,000 promotional efforts. Although active promotional efforts for Dokdo have been mad e by the general public, such as civic groups and the Voluntary Agency Network of Korea, or VANK, researchers on Dokdo ocean science have not made sufficient promotional efforts for their academic results. Therefore, this paper suggests the following methods to invigorate the promotion. First, it is necessary to assign names to all rocks of the 89 dependent islets, in addition to Dongdo and Seodo, for makings in a new marine and submarine topographic map, and then produce and distribute related maps and leaflets. Second, rocks on land damaged by the nature, such as weathering, should be constantly monitored in terms of the utilization and develop ment of Dokdo. Third, a comprehensive marine observation system of Dokdo shoul d be built and real-time service should be provided to improve the use of data on the ocean and environment of the island.
