This five-session class will move beyond the origins of surrealist photography, exploring the continuation of surrealist ideas within later American photographers, including those associated with American Gothic photography. While briefly revisiting foundational figures for those new to the class series, the course will primarily focus on how dreams, memory, symbolism, and altered realities influenced these photographers. Through lectures, group discussion, critique, and independent shooting time, students will create a body of work inspired by a surrealist photographer of their choice. Previous enrollment in the first class is not required. Two weeks between sessions are built into the course schedule to allow time for shooting, processing, and scanning.
