Photographers, Blacklab

Voyeur, hunter, investigator; just a few of the roles characterizing the photographer as depicted in modern cinematic fiction. BlackLab’s third film collage Photographers remixes and resequences hundreds of scenes involving photographers to expose the clichés, tropes and accidental truisms of the medium to revealing and often comic effect.

Mishka Henner and David Oates (known collectively as BlackLab) were commissioned to create this new work for the 8th edition of the Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival, which ran from 19-23 September 2012.
