Impressions Video Work
Sunday, October 12th, 2008
Our year 12 photography students start their next unit of work on the theme of identity this week and I came across this video work/documentary on how we based our judgments on appearance. It might be a bit risky to do with students from the same school, leading to bullying, but it might work as a confidential exercise using videos of students from other schools. I imagine that most students would be very embarrassed at making such statements in public, and this might spark a debate about public and private opinion.
Perhaps, Oscar Wilde was right: “Always judge a book by its cover: Only the shallow judge by more than appearances.”
