Episode Synopsis
David Campany pays tribute to the multidisciplinarian artist Robert Cumming, known for his rigorous dedication to the aesthetic tonality of the B & W image and his uncanny investigations into the philosophical nature of perception. Lusciously printed images from original 8 x 10 negatives are evidence of Cummings' masterful camera work marrying his fascination with photography’s ability to simultaneously describe and mislead. David Campany's equal sensibilities are evident in an erudite, witty essay and compelling image sequence.In this conversation, David discusses, among other things:Nonsense & SensibilityChicanery & witCraft and camera work Fluid interchange of mediaTransition of an object into an imageLooking at work in the roundNot getting pigeonholed SpecialismModernist IdealsThinking of scaleLanding in the middleViewers response to the work provides its meaningAll you can do with a watermelon
