Art That Moves Me

[Emma Jukes]

I remember this day and art piece well! It made such a lasting impression from the visual impact in the gallery to the meaning behind the work.

Nice to see you used Barthes theory, I miss teaching photography at this level of understanding

[Elle Walker]

Thanks for reading, Andrew. And thanks for sharing A Wounded Landscape. I hadn’t heard of this before and is now on my to-buy list.

[Andrew Eberlin]

Very powerful piece of writing, Elle, about some very powerful photos. Marc Wilson’s ‘A Wounded Landscape’ had a similar impact on me.

Holy shit is all I have to say.

[Elle Walker]

Thanks for reading 😊

[Mark White]

Thank you for this.

[Stella Kalaw]

Elle, thank you for sharing your encounter/experience with such a powerful art piece. To have such an impact like that is why art matters. It’s a reminder to us all.

[Elle Walker]

Thanks for reading, Stella. And I wholeheartedly agree: art matters, as a way of expressing and making sense of humanity.

[Darin]

Well written. I will add this exhibit to mu list of things to see. Thank you.

[Elle Walker]

Thanks for reading, Darin.

Wow what a piece of art. Thank you for sharing. Answering your question. A photo book which had me deeply moved is “Our Loss” by Joel Sternfeld. I have written about it here: https://open.substack.com/pub/susanneh/p/two-photobooks-that-moved-me-deeply?r=4ylwk&utm_medium=ios

Thanks for reading, Susanne. And thank you for sharing “Our Loss”. I cannot even comprehend the desperation Buckel felt to drive himself to take his own life in such a manner.
