Justin Fargiano

Justin Fargiano is a sophomore in the Film and Television major at Tisch and self-described visual artist. Coming to school, he realized that everyone had a different idea of what “fun” meant and wanted to explore this visually. Over the past summer, he asked an array of artists to shoot a roll of film on a disposable camera with the simple mission to take the “most fun roll of film possible” by either “fabricating the events or capturing reality.” He says that using film “forces the artist to be choosy with what they capture and does not allow them to obsess over the final image.” He hoped to find what fun meant to each artist and how that varied across the board, either through region, age or gender. He gave each participant as much freedom as they wanted, hoping to capture true fun that is “so engrossing that people can’t remove themselves enough to capture it on camera.”
