Register Now   The Center for Photographic Art and Luhz Press present KEEP LOOKING, a performative lecture by Jackie Furtado and Jennifer Haare, centered on their experimental photobook TORNADO. Kim Beil will join the artists for a reading from her text “The Horse in Motion: A Tableau Vivant," followed by a group discussion. TORNADO explores time, motion and its trance-like qualities through the lens of consumer technology, offering a contemporary reinterpretation of Eadweard Muybridge’s motion studies. Inspired by the history and myth of image as data, the photobook mimics motion through the breakdown of movement and image clarity, unfolding through a whirling sequence of stills captured by a GoPro dangling from a bolting horse. The conversation will dissect how photographic technologies influence perception and how the photobook format utilizes sequence to shape durational experience. TORNADO proposes that the exercise of looking can help us navigate and reorient our relationship towards today’s unstable image economy.  TORNADO showcases a mustang’s journey in the Sonoran Desert through a careful sequence of GoPro film stills, examining time, motion and its trance-like quality by way of consumer technology. The debut photobook from artists Jackie Furtado and Jennifer Haare with a text by the Kim Beil engages with photography’s technological history and questions the medium’s insatiable desire to see, capture, and control.
