A Picture You Already Know: Discussion Questions

  1. Do photos have more meaning in a group? (When photos are shown, are they usually part of a collection or one photo? Does the repetition take away from the photos?)
  2. Are there any purely objective art forms? (How the viewer brings their own perspective to the image)
  3. Does this new knowledge of repetition put photography as a medium in question?
  4. Will there ever be a new photograph?
  5. If there was a new photograph would we recognize it as new, or would it not be considered art because it is not in the realm of what we already know and accept as photography?
  6. Is there a way to make the technology of photography your own, or is photography doomed to be the easiest medium to master and the hardest to have personal vision?
  7. Do you agree that repetition is a defining aspect of photography? Why?
  8. Is there an image that can stand on its own, or do you crave to know more about the photographs that were taken with the one shown/displayed?
  9. Do you find yourself always comparing your art to other artists, or do you compete against yourself and your own work?
  10. Can you stand on your own morals or must other artists define whether your art is good or not? Is that necessary?
