This is the audio version of the blog post 'Reflections on Imagination Dead Imagine'. The post was written by Megan Stevenson, who did a student placement at the Courtauld. It was first published on 24 August 2020. The audio version is also read by Megan.
In this blog, Megan reflects on an intriguing photograph from the visual art and installations section of the Conway Library. The photograph shows an installation view of ‘Imagination Dead Imagine’, a sculpture by David Ward, exhibited at the Whitechapel Gallery in London, England, in 1991. Megan wonders whether the photograph could ever faithfully capture the installed artwork, and suggests how the photograph itself pushes the Ward's interest in the possibilities of imagination even further.
