Module Description
Part of the WOPHA Institute online course Collecting Photography Beyond the Canon, this session offers an exclusive insight into the studio practice of a leading contemporary photographer.

Topics to be covered

The development of photographic projects from concept and research through to finished works
Photographic editions, their production, formats and role within the art market and collections
The relationship between photographic practice, books, publications and dissemination
How photographs are selected, sequenced, framed and presented in different contexts
The practical and conceptual processes involved in sustaining a contemporary photographic practice

Learning objectives

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

Understand key aspects of contemporary photographic production and studio practice
Identify the different roles that editions, publications and presentation formats play in the circulation and reception of photographic work
Analyse how an artist’s choices around production and presentation contribute to the meaning and impact of their work
Gain insight into the relationship between artistic practice, publishing, collecting and the wider photographic ecosystem
Reflect on how photographic works can be adapted and communicated across different formats and audiences

Faculty

Anastasia Samoylova is an American artist working across photography, painting, and installation. Her practice examines how contemporary life is shaped and mythologized through images, exploring the intersections of environmental crisis, consumer spectacle, politics, and visual culture.

Her first monograph, FloodZone, brought recognition for its portrayal of climate vulnerability and spectacle in South Florida. Floridas expanded this inquiry into a portrait of the state as a landscape of fantasy, contradiction, and power, culminating in Floridas: Anastasia Samoylova and Walker Evans at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Image Cities examined media saturation, advertising, and visual excess in global urban spaces, while her recent project Atlantic Coast retraces Berenice Abbott’s Route 1 journey in reverse, from Florida to Maine.

Samoylova’s work has been exhibited at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Saatchi Gallery, C/O Berlin, Fundación MAPFRE, and the George Eastman Museum. Her work is held by MoMA, The Met, and Pérez Art Museum Miami, among others.

Galleria Fort Lauderdale presents The Poppy Project Pop-Up Living Garden in support of Henderson Behavioral Health (HBH) in collaboration with the USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD28) Support Committee. This public art initiative is designed to honor veterans while raising awareness and funds for critical mental health services. Shoppers can take colorful photos and selfies to share online and connect with and donate to HBH’s virtual Legacy Wall which encourages friends and families to honor loved ones who have served or are currently serving our country. The cherished photo opportunity with the larger-than-life artistic poppy flowers will run through November 10 at Galleria Fort Lauderdale (2414 East Sunrise Blvd.).

Designed by South Florida based Ingham Landscaping and presented by Galleria Fort Lauderdale, the two-month living garden will be a colorful and lively setting featuring the five-and 6-foot striking handcrafted fiberglass poppy flowers which are a remembrance of those who protect and serve our country. The inside mall garden will include a variety of tropical ornamental plants and shrubs that will complement the artistic poppy works of art.

Adding to the installation, will be “Soldier Stories,” an exclusive exhibition by award-winning artist Marilyn Johansen honoring veterans and the military. Visitors will also be encouraged to select free postcards and add a personal message to current servicemen and women. This special moment is arranged by the USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD28) Support Committee. Special retail offers will coincide with this community project.

Inspired by the poppy’s historical significance as a symbol of sacrifice, rooted in the World War I poem “In Flanders Fields,” and later adopted as a national emblem of remembrance, HBH’s The Poppy Project brings this tradition to life in a local and meaningful way.

The effort is sponsored by key community partners and supporters including The Leo Goodwin Foundation, Arlene Pecora, the Henderson Behavioral Health Board of Directors, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD28) Support Committee, Community Foundation of Broward, Disabled American Veterans-Gold Coast Chapter 133, Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale and Galleria Fort Lauderdale.
