Peter is a respected specialist architectural photographer. His website can be found here: Peter Durant Peter says: "We are now in an age where the naive trust in the fidelity of the photograph is fractured.
Image manipulation software enables the production of photographic realism in the complete absence of the physical subject.
The virtual image is now everywhere.
Yet the power of the photograph as a site of truth and reality still persists.
It relies on our suspension of disbelief, embraced by our imagination to enable the transformation of an array of pixels or graduated tones on a piece of paper or screen into a meaningful object.
My talk will explore the history and nature of our evolving relationship with the projected image, our ideologies, as we strive to capture 'our slice' of eternity."
