The Lisa and John Slideshow is a theatrical response to my own earlier photographic project, Pictures from the Real World. Colour Photographs, 1987–88, interrogating recurring theoretical questions that challenge the discourse of social documentary photography through an expanded practice. As a significant piece of research, devised through participation with those depicted within the image, the forty-five-minute play questions representational methods through an alternate medium. The project evokes what else was knowable from the terrain of possibilities when the sovereign images of the former project were captured, as it reaches into photographs, opening contextual focus on the social, political and relational aspects of production. This paper is drawn from my Ph.D. thesis, What the Subject Does. Lisa and John and Pictures from the Real World submitted to the University of Sussex in December 2022. The question asked within this commentary is: How can unequal power relations within photographic representation of working-class communities be renegotiated through trans-media practice and the use of theatre?

丽莎和约翰幻灯片 (2017)：一部关于摄影的戏剧

丽莎和约翰幻灯片是对我自己早期的摄影项目“来自真实世界的图片”的戏剧回应。Color Photographs, 1987-88，审视通过扩展实践挑战社会纪实摄影话语的反复出现的理论问题。作为一项重要的研究，通过与图像中描绘的人的参与而设计，45 分钟的游戏通过替代媒体质疑代表性方法。当前一个项目的主权图像被捕获时，该项目唤起了从可能性领域中可以了解的其他东西，因为它进入了照片，打开了对生产的社会、政治和关系方面的背景关注。这篇论文来自我的博士学位。论文，主题做什么。
