How is context important in Photography?
The context of the photography help us understand its true meaning. And also the justification the artist want to convey.
“Wrong” by John Baldessari
This image compose the object in a uncomfortable position, the angle, ratio and the quality. It would be a wrong photo as the title said when we just look at it without the context. But however, when we learn its context, we could know this picture is reference from a composition book, the title Wrong and the picture. Baldessari is intentionally to place the picture like this, he want to question the convention of picture making, from its context we could understand that the title Wrong are not just for the placement but is the query on the ‘traditional’ rules, what he really convey is the question on the conventional aspects and the justify of art shouldn’t been judge.
