In partnership with the Princeton University Art Museum – this screening is inspired by the exhibition Photography as a Way of Life: Minor White, Aaron Siskind, and Harry Callahan.
This new exhibit explores these influential mid-20th century photographers, teachers, and thinkers—and traces their impact on the field of photography in the United States. Before the film, visit the Princeton University Art Museum to see the exhibition, on view through September 7.
About the film: Noted Italian filmmaker Michelangelo Antonioni made his English-language debut with this existential story of a detached fashion photographer who unknowingly captures a death while taking pictures in a park. Set in London during the swinging ‘60s, BLOW-UP is a haunting psychological mystery that boasts a beautiful color palette and a jazzy score courtesy of Herbie Hancock.
Our screening of BLOW-UP will be Introduced by Katherine Bussard, Peter C. Bunnell Curator of Photography.
