The Meaning of Various News Photos to Ed Henderson

1973 · 15 min

Baldessari introduces eight news photos to Ed Henderson — ranging in subject matter from geese at the zoo to an accidental electrocution — and asks him to identify them. Henderson's associative responses suggest the projection of unconscious desires and fears onto these arbitrary images, which are removed from their original contexts. The implied narratives that emerge from the seemingly random juxtapositions and sequences of photographs give rise to questions of manipulation, inference and meaning.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The Meaning of Various News Photos to Ed Henderson is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1973. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
