CloseLucy Sante: Photographing the Invisible
Visiting Artist Lecture in Photography
Tue, Apr 27, 2021, 10 – 11:30 PM ET
Writer, critic, and artist Lucy Sante delivers a powerful soliloquy on the unique capacity of photography to capture the existential human experience of "drifting in a cloud of uncertainty."
Her lecture, "Photographing the Invisible," is followed by a conversation with Yale School of Art faculty member, Senior Critic in Photography, John Pilson.
Lucy Sante's books include "Low Life," "Evidence," "The Factory of Facts," "Kill All Your Darlings," "Folk Photography," "The Other Paris," and "Maybe the People Would Be the Times." She has been a frequent contributor to the "New York Review of Books" since 1981, as well as many other magazines and periodicals. Sante has been the recipient of the Whiting Writers Award, an Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, a Grammy (for the category, album notes), the Infinity Award from the International Center of Photography, as well as Guggenheim and Cullman Fellowships. She has been a Visiting Professor of Writing and the History of Photography at Bard College since 1999.
