Ways of Seeing has given me the idea to create something that is not necessarily new, in terms of presenting an aspect of nature, but which plays on the manipulation of existing images that supposedly represent the idea of nature. The idea of interpretation as a means of manipulating an image is discussed in the book Against Interpretation (Sontag, 1966), which I have also posted about ( click here).

The idea of the reproduced image is explored more in the article In defence of the Poor Image (Steyerl, 2009), which I speak on in my Wolfgang Tillmans post. This idea of manipulation is something I have come across frequently in the research I have done so far for this project.
Berger's scripts were adapted into a book of the same name.

Ways of Seeing is a 1972 BBC four-part television series of 30-minute films created chiefly by writer John Berger and producer Mike Dibb. An interesting point raised is how you can take these ideas as a way of manipulating an image, “As well as by the movements of the camera, paintings are modified and changed by the sounds you hear when looking at them.” In the first programme, Berger examines the impact of photography on our appreciation of art from the past. Berge comments on the importance of context and environment against how the viewer interprets the image and how far removed this can be from the artists original intentions.
In this episode of Ways of Seeing (1972), John Berger talks about the painting as an original image and as a transmitted, reproduced image.
