According to this picture and in episode #1 Berger talks about how images could be used to manipulate. The viewer’s point of view and the 9/11 image shows you how made by photographer in order to make meaning of it. We can see here a foreground image of five young people look happy one side but we think deep into it. Across the river from New York with fire billowing from the Twin Towers so picture is automatically drawn in two parts. There’s a contrast to stark contrast between this disaster on the other side of river with the smoke billowing out of manhattan and these five young people look enjoying and having a chat but we notice that this photo become a sign of young people not carrying about events in the world.
Interesting insights here. How do you fit these different elements together into an understanding of what is being depicted?
