MEMO TO PIC DESK

by Chris KENNEDY & Anna VAN DER MEULEN
2006 / 16mm / b&w / sound / 1S / 6' 30




An idiosyncratic look at staging in news photography, using materials from the archives of a Toronto daily. Moral codes, delinquency and autonomy are pulled into an altered coherence, as vintage photos are examined next to their type-written paper trail. Financial assistance provided by the Ontario Arts Council.
