The Image Beyond Objectivity

Suzana Dias

ESAP _ 6 December 2023 . 2:30 pm

No image is devoid of an emotional message, even those that strive for supposed neutrality. In this open class, we will explore the vast universe of images constructed with highly precise communication. The approach will be dynamic and pedagogical, analysing and deconstructing the visual elements that intensify meanings in the areas of advertising, cinematographic and artistic communication, and even in seemingly ordinary everyday images.
