There may be different reasons to use video documentation as research method. The study presented in this session takes it starting point in assumptions about the world as experienced; things become visible because of how we see them rather than simply because they are observable. Moreover, those visible elements of experience will be assigned different meanings by different people. These assumptions have implications on the way the video documentation is handled in the discussed study. If reality is not necessarily observable visually, how can we then make use of video documentation as a research method? This question will be handled with examples from a study of teenagers’ relationship to a science centre in Sweden. In this study a video camera is used in order to give agency to the informants to produce an account of the exhibits at the science centre and how they can be used. In this way, the video films become a process by which knowledge is produced. The analysis of the films is especially concerned with the social aspects of the production, content and the process by which the visual image has its meanings re-negotiated.
