Essay Instructions: > In recent years the U.S. artist Martha Rosler have used photography to catalogue and characterize various spaces and experiences of 20th century life. Rosler, for example, has produced photographic series representing international airports("In the Place of the Public"1998) and the decaying
highway network around NYC("Rights of Passage"1997). Her works are small scale, "strait" photographs, often shot on the move, and in the case of "Rights of Passage," from inside her car. Though can be exhibited as pictures in galleris, they also are published as inexpensive artist''s
books.
Write an essay that analyzes how your artist conjures an experience of the late 20th century world. What is the significance of the sites that are shown? Why are they chosen? How is photo graphy used to depict them?
What kind of visual experience is on offer? How does that experience sit with your sense of the promises and betrayls, successes and failures, of our late-century world? In answering these questions, you will need to do more than to consider the artist''s project in a general way(though
certainly trying to come to grips with her intensions is essential). To make your points, however, you will need to provide detailed discussion of at least three(and no more than 5) particular photographs. Your discussion should attend carefully to all aspects of the photograph: from
viewpoint and camera angle to the spatial experience depicted(its depth, detail, color, effects of light/dark/brilliance/reflection): how do all these
visual moves offer a view--and attitude, a stance--toward the world they show?
