  9. art-sy: Featured Gene: Staged Photography Starting this week, we’ll be featuring some of our “genes” (characteristics ranging from technique to formal qualities to artistic movements) from The Art Genome Project in regular posts, to give some context and share some of the fascinating research that goes into defining them. This week, we’ll be talking about “Staged Photography.” In this video interview, artist Jeff Wall (who shares the Staged Photography gene on Art.sy), gives a brief outline of the rise of this practice. Staged photography has its origins in tableaux vivants, or “living paintings”, elaborately staged compositions using live actors that were popular in the 19th century, and entered the realm of more conceptual art in the 1920s with Dada artist Marcel Duchamp’s staged portraits. The 1980s saw the rise of Cindy Sherman and Wall and, with them, a wider interest in staged photography as a legitimate artistic practice (as opposed to the documentary photography that dominated much of the 20th century.) Many artists take staged photography to mean not the staging of fictional scenes, but rather a way to create a more convincing, “truthful” depiction of reality, an idea Wall explores in particular: “To me it’s a much more interesting way to look at the whole phenomenon, than to see straight photography on the one side as being totally spontaneous and staged photography on the other side as being totally blatant and theatrical. There’s all this gray space in between that’s much much more interesting.” Some of today’s most popular and respected artists work in this tradition, including Gregory Crewdson (featured at SXSW in a powerful documentary) whose elaborately staged, cinematic photos evoke eerie scenes of small town America. Lastly, for fun, check out Ori Gersht’s own, explosive take on staged photography: Big Bang (2006), related to a series of Gersht’s photographs (many of which are on Art.sy) in which he meticulously reconstructs still lifes and captures their explosions on camera. Enjoy!
