Abstract
Talk delivered at the Moving Stills symposium, 15 April 2016 at Watershed in Bristol. This paper discussed the idea of deadpan in photography and film, and proposed a relationship to the deadpan stare and trauma. Ranging across the work of Buster Keaton (whose comic persona embodied the phrase 'deadpan"). Lewis Hine, Don McCullen, Bettina Von Zwehle, Frank Gohlke, and Robert Adams, the talk discussed the idea of the modern world as one of constant change where there is potential for trauma. The deadpan stare - a blank, un-emotive look, often directly into the camera, characterises this state of mind and relates to the fixed stare of the camera lens itself. An excerpt from the short film, 'The Plate Spinner' by Tony Clancy was also shown as part of the talk.
