Mise-en-Scène: Creating Multidimensional Collaborations w/ Mike Belleme
Recorded: Wednesday, February 23rd @ 7 pm ET
Conceived as a multidimensional investigation into “the social lives of urban landscapes,” Mise-en-Scène: The Lives & Afterlives of Urban Landscapes (ORO Editions) is a powerful collaboration between photographer Mike Belleme and landscape-urbanist Chris Reed, professor in the practice of landscape architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design.
During this talk, Mike Belleme helped us reimagine what a photo book can be while exploring ways to cultivate rich multidimensional collaborations that combine words, images, and illustrations into new and exciting forms.
