In partnership with the Princeton University Art Museum – this screening is inspired by the exhibition Photography as a Way of Life: Minor White, Aaron Siskind, and Harry Callahan.
This new exhibit explores these influential mid 20th century photographers, teachers, and thinkers — and traces their impact on the field of photography in the United States. Before the film, visit Art@Bainbridge to see the exhibition, on view through September 7.
About the film: Noted Italian filmmaker, Michelangelo Antonioni, made his English-language debut with this existential story of a detached fashion photographer who unknowingly captures a death while taking pictures in a park. Set in London during the swinging ‘60s — BLOW-UP is a haunting psychological mystery that boasts a beautiful color palette and a jazzy score courtesy of Herbie Hancock.
Our screening of BLOW-UP will be Introduced by Katherine Bussard, Peter C. Bunnell Curator of Photography.
