How can we use
visual documentation as a tool to intervene in the city?
In the field of cultural anthropology, the use of video began in the 1930s as a tool for documentation and has evolved from documentary footage and analysis to a representation of people and their cultures. Visual documentation continues to play a powerful role as a means of perceiving and expressing the world at various levels in an accessible manner, especially thanks to the use of smartphones and social media. How can we better use visual documentation as an action in our urban lives, for social memory, reinterpretation of current phenomena, and understanding of different cultures?
This campaign seeks projects that use visual documentation creatively as an intervention tool in urban space.
