Lambert

The most interesting of Lambert's work, for me, was the Ohio river lifeboat project. The interactions and conversations with the various people that Carolyn and her crew met along the way enriched the work and gave it a human quality that endures through Lambert's documentation. My concern lies with her purpose(s) for the project. When reading her description of the work it seems as though her motives are both broad and specific at the same time. In my opinion the conversations and experiences with the people overpower all else. After listening to her presentation of the work it seemed as though her work was ALL about the people, only after reading more of her website did I realize that it dealt with ecological concerns, sustainability, etc., etc. In terms of presentation strategy, I would like to see the use of large scale photography in conjunction with her audio clips. If I were surrounded by images that recreated the same environment (as she was in during the project) I feel as though I could relate to/experience it much more directly. note: By large scale I mean wall sized photos.
