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. Overview Photo-text has been classified as a "bimedial iconotext," wherein both photographic images and textual elements coexist, forming a cohesive body of work presented in the context of a gallery space or book.

Visual Poetry
Visual poetry is a style of poetry that incorporates graphic and visual design elements to convey its meaning. This style combines visual art and written expression to create new ways of presenting and interpreting poetry. Visual poetry focuses on playing with form, which means it often takes on various art styles. These styles can range from altering the structure of the words on the page to adding other kinds of media to change the poem itself. Some forms of visual poetry may retain their narrative structure, but this is not a requirement of visual poetry. Some visual poets create more abstract works that steer away from linguistic meaning and instead focus heavily on the composition of words and letters to create a visually pleasing piece. Differentiation from concrete poetry Literary theorists have identified visual poetry as a development of concrete poetry but with the characteristics of intermedia in which non-representational language and visual elements predominate.

Praxis In order to make the work the duo posed as a news reporting team—i.e., a photographer and a journalist—often attending events scheduled in the Press Association's Gazette—a list of potentially newsworthy events in London.
