Photo-text
Photo-text, also written as photo/text, is a hybrid form of artistic expression that combines photography and textual elements to convey a message or create a narrative. This combination allows for a multi-dimensional experience for the viewer. Notable examples of photo-text art include Martha Rosler's ''The Bowery in two inadequate descriptive systems'' (1974/75); David Askevold's ''Muse Extracts'', exhibited at Documenta 6 in 1977; Carrie Mae Weems' ''Family Pictures and Stories'' (1983); Lorna Simpson's installation ''Guarded Conditions'' (1989); and Martha Wilson's ''I have become my own worst fear'', first presented in 2011. The summer photography festival Rencontres d'Arles gives a Photo-Text Book Award at each annual event.
