Visual illness narratives: Agnese Sile, ECA
Through analysis of several photographic essays that are intimate collaborations between professional photographers and their sick and disabled ‘other’, Agnese Sile, Teaching Fellow in Digital Design and Media, Edinburgh College of Art, will question: What kind of knowledge is shared between the participants of the photographic act? How do the photographs and the text reveal private expressions of pain, suffering and illness? What is their political and cultural significance?
