Torsten Kjellstrand -- Visual Storytelling
Friday April 23. 1 p.m. CADD 117
Torsten Kjellstrand began his lecture and presentation on Friday having the attendants state where they came from("I came from...").
Kjellstrand emphasised that pictures tell stories. He presented a Powerpoint slideshow of collections of pictures he has taken. One set of pictures were a narative art, in which told the story of two brothers.
"When you tell someone's story you validate that story, if you do it in the right way." said Kjellstrand.
Another story Kjellstand told through his pictures was of Celilo falls in Oregon. It showed the Native Reservation and its peoples in pictures of black and white and also in color.
Kjellstrand prompted the audience to think about whether or not color pictures vs. black and white made them perceieve the pictures/story differently.
