Vita Nova by Vincent Meessen will be screened at Autograph ABP on October 15, 2010 at 6.30 PM.
The screening and the following dialogue with Autograph director Mark Sealy takes place in the frame of the two current major photographic exhibitions: James Barnor’s street and studio portraits from the late 1940s to the 1970s, in Ghana and England, and the W.E.B. Du Bois’ collection of portraits compiled for the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle. Both aim to explore the notion of the photographic archive in relation to visual politics of race, representation and difference, as well as the question of modernity within post-colonial and transatlantic perspectives on photography in the 21st century.
