To Music (in Pictures) }{ Martin Tétreault
To Music (in Pictures): a photo series founded upon a double-entendre. 1. An homage to music through the art of photography. 2. A series of photographs that participate in the art of musicking, following Christopher Small’s recasting of “music” from noun to verb: to music, an action set that encompasses the activities of musicians on stage through to the array of practices performed by roadies, venue staff, recording engineers, graphic designers, photographers, audience members and scene communities whose collective activities comprise any given musical event. These images are culled from my Inevitable Plastic collection, all shot on a Holga CFN120.
