Book Description
Dem modernen Hochglanzporträt ließe sich wohl nachsagen, dass es mehr einer Phantasmagorie denn der Wirklichkeit entspricht. Inszenierung und Retusche sind die Werkzeuge dieser Gaukelei. Verkehrt man jedoch die Vorzeichen, entsteht plötzlich eine mitreißende und einfühlsame Fotokunst. Genau dies ist die Qualität von Sofie Knijffs Aufnahmen. Sie zeigen Kinder aus allen Ländern des Planeten. Aber sie überlassen es den Protagonisten selbst, wie sie in Szene gesetzt werden wollen. Knijff fragt nach dem idealen oder erträumten Selbst und erhält als Antwort Fotografien, auf denen die Mädchen und Jungen selbst zur Reflexion ihrer Wünsche, Potenziale und Hoffnungen werden. Ob lustig oder gefühlvoll, mit Ernst vorgetragen oder mit Augenzwinkern posiert – die Aufnahmen zeugen stets von einer unnachahmlichen Originalität, deren fotografische Imagination vielleicht bald Realität ist.

The Oxford Handbook of Politics and Performance
Author: Shirin M. Rai
Publisher: Oxford Handbooks
ISBN: 0190863455
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 749
Book Description
While political scientists and political theorists have long been interested in social and political performance, and theatre and performance researchers have often focused on the political dimensions of the live arts, the interdisciplinary nature of this labor has typically been assumed rather than rigorously explored. This volume brings together leading scholars in the fields of Politics and Performance--drawing on experts across the fields of literature, law,anthropology, sociology, psychology, and media and communiction, as well as politics and theatre and performance--to map out and deepen the evolving interdisciplinary engagement. Organized into seven thematic sections, the volume investigates the relationship between politics and performance to show thatcertain features of political transactions shared by performances are fundamental to both disciplines--and that to a large extent they also share a common communicational base and language.

Paul's Book
Author: Collier Schorr
Publisher: Mack
ISBN: 9781912339563
Category : Male models
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Collier Schorr met Paul Hameline, a young French artist and model, in New York in 2015. A friend of friend, he came to her home for a "go-see", which is when a photographer gets to see how a model looks in front of the camera. Paul's family lives in the Marais section of Paris around the corner from the hotel Collier stays at while in Paris, so they began to meet and to make a project that lasted two years in which Collier would visit Paul at his parents' house and take pictures and talk. The idea was for Paul and Collier to experience photography as a social space, a conversation in which his body and her eyes could try and understand each other's fascinations and fantasies. Many of the pictures were published in 'Re Edition' magazine. 'Paul's Book' expands that magazine story to form a larger piece about the way in which a photographer and model can search for some greater revelations with the simplest movements and various states of undress. --

The Canary and the Hammer
Author: Lisa Barnard
Publisher: Mack
ISBN: 9781912339334
Category : Documentary photography
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"Photographed across four years and four continents, 'The Canary and The Hammer' details our reverence for gold and its role in humanity's ruthless pursuit of progress. Through a mix of image, text and archival material, the third book by British artist Lisa Barnard provides insight into the troubled history of gold and the complex ways it intersects with the global economy. Gold is ubiquitous in modern life; the mineral is concealed at the heart of much of the technology we use and is, most fundamentally, a potent symbol of value, beauty, purity, greed and political power. The Canary and The Hammer strives to connect these disparate stories -- from the mania of the gold rush and the brutal world of modern mining, to the sexual politics of the industry and gold's often dark but indispensable role at the heart of high-tech industry. Prompted by the financial crisis of 2008 and its stark reminder of the global west's determination to accumulate wealth, Barnard sets out to question gold's continued status as economic barometer amidst new intangible forms of technological high--finance. By addressing this through photography, Barnard in turn raises the question of how her chosen medium can respond to such abstract events and concepts. The result is an ambitious project, one sketching a personal journey in which she ultimately tackles the complexity of material representation in these fragmented and troubling times."-- Publisher's website
