Which follow from documentation being the form in which most people meet a temporary work?
Hints
- Three follow from documentation being load-bearing; one denies what reproduction loses.
- Reproduction normalises scale to the page.
Show the answer
- A. Scale, duration and sound must be recorded in other ways
- B. The framing and moment of a photograph are decisions within the work
- D. The documentation should be planned before the work exists
Why
The fourth is what the previous lessons rule out. A photograph normalises scale to the page, carries no duration and no sound, and reports the shape of an experience rather than the experience, which is why scale, duration and what it was like to move through must be recorded some other way.
