Fred Lyon: San Francisco Noir

Behind These Walls: Photographs of Decommissioned Australian Gaols

Behind These Walls: Photographs of Decommissioned Australian Gaols

0
Empty prisons are eerie places. Each prison has its own history, character, and stories to tell, but so too does every cell. Etched into their walls is the passing of successive generations of inmates each of who has carved their passing. For the past decade Australian photographer, Brett Leigh Dicks, has been photographing abandoned prisons the world over. His latest…
Takeshi Shikama: Silent Respiration of Forests

Takeshi Shikama: Silent Respiration of Forests

0
This series of photographs is an expression of my search for the soul of the deep forests. One day in early autumn in 2001, just as twilight was setting in, I had lost track of the mountain paths. I happened to wander into a shady forest, where I found myself suddenly seized with a strong desire to take photographs. The…

Julien Fumard: Himalaya – Titans of Light & Shadow

The highest summits in the world stand in front of me. It is hard to believe that they are only a consequence of the collision between two tectonic plates. No, deep within me I know it is about something else, about a truth that we cannot grasp and try to justify with arrogance; because the only certitude is that everything,…

Some of the most beautiful women in England (and many from Europe and the USA) trod the boards of the many theatres to be found in London’s West End in those halcyon days. Women like Gabrielle Ray, Lily Elsie, Pauline Chase, the sisters Dare, and of course my own particular favourites Gertie Millar and Ellaline Terriss. Many of these actresses…

Long before co-founding Aperture magazine or establishing the groundbreaking photography program at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, renowned modernist photographer Minor White (American, 1908-1976) moved to Portland, where he sowed the seeds of what would become a forceful artistic vision.

Minutes to Midnight is the ambitious photographic record of that adventure, in which Parke presents a proud but uneasy nation struggling to craft its identity from different cultures and traditions. Minutes to…

Tim Carpenter – Local Objects

Tim Carpenter – Local Objects

0
Borrowing its title from the Wallace Stevens poem in which “little existed for him but the few things / for which a fresh name always occurred,” Local Objects presents a beautiful yet remarkably unassuming body of work by Brooklyn/central Illinois–based photographer Tim Carpenter (born 1968): a calm, steady rhythm of 74 medium-format photographs made in the semirural American Midwest. While…
Giorgio Bormida: Selected Works

Giorgio Bormida: Selected Works

0
In Giorgio Bormida’s works, the photographic approach fades in favour of an extremely poetic use of the image, which somehow recalls painting, as it leads the viewer’s eye right to the heart of a complex imagination, densely embedded with suggestions and experiences. His works are meant to be interpreted as a tool of recording of memory, or rather, of sedimentation…

“My new book, Profiles, is a collection of portraits taken over the last six to eight years, including exceptional profiles of creatives in the arts and cinema, plus meaningful images of family and friends. The images originate from editorial assignments and personal sittings, and are a reflection on my fascination with the person and their innate beauty and character.” –…

Kim Høltermand: Frederiksvej Kindergarten

0
Frederiksvej Kindergarten, a project by Danish studio COBE, is highly focused on details, giving the viewer a slow peek at the materials it was made of. This simplicity, combined with the rawness of black and white, corresponds with the project’s main idea – the roof line was built as if the child would draw it, reminiscent of a sketch. Kim…

East of the Mississippi: Nineteenth-Century American Landscape Photography

0
When photography arrived in the United States in 1839, it landed first in a few east coast cities and New Orleans, and then spread north and west into the American interior. The proliferation of photography studios and photographers coincided with the beginnings of massive cultural, commercial, and transportation projects that would ultimately reshape much of the American landscape. Photography quickly…

Cheap Rents… and de Kooning: The downtown art world New York, 1957-63

Cheap rents … and de Kooning revisits the New York downtown art scene between 1957 and 1963, when the 10th Street galleries were the center of the art world and inexpensive lofts were still available. Living in this dynamic neighborhood, John Cohen photographed a series of its famous and infamous artists’ haunts―among them the legendary Cedar Bar, the Artists’ Club…

Olivier Robert: Lakes, from Léman to Biwa

0
This work started on the shores of the Lake Geneva in Switzerland and in France, as I arrived in this region in 1995 and where I still live. My approach consists in using the ‘unintentional aesthetic’ of the man-made objects or structures left alongside the lakes to reveal a personal appreciation of the way these objects and the landscapes answer…
