The Photo Response Project

What's a picture worth to you?

1000 words? A quick sketch? Or a photo in return? The Photo Response Project asks artists to perform a visual translation. Choose one of the five photographs (below) and respond to it in any visual medium — just keep the dimensions to 4" x 6". Write a (very) short story, draw or paint, manipulate the image itself or simply try something new. We'll exhibit each photograph together with its responses and explore the many directions that emerge from a single starting point.

The Photo Response Project is a visual translation experiment. Contributing artists are asked to respond to one of five original photographs in any medium. Choose an image (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 — embedded above) and then create a response no larger than 4" x 6". Responses should be 2D. Work with the source image, use a similar palette or subject, or just allow the photograph to inspire something new — any response is welcome. The resulting responses will be exhibited along with the source images to explore the many translations that can arise from a shared origin.
