Peace
Peace, by Simon Loffler
“my grandpa was a good man.
he was a farmer for the majority of his life.
he survived stomach cancer for 17 years.
and finally gave in to lung cancer age 85.
he was a fantastic cyclist.
and a very opinionated man.
he made machines out of old white goods motors and pulleys to do everyday tasks.
his dogs were loyal, well behaved, helpful, caring creatures.
his fruit, vegetables, wheat and milk were incredibly delicious.
his meat and fish divine.
my kids never got to meet him.
but one day, i’ll tell them all about their great grandpa.
one day.
hi grandpa! is your next life as good as your last one?”

Spulciando i vincitori del Sony World Photography Awards, ho scoperto questa fotografa.
Ha vinto la categoria Fine Art – Conceptual and constructed con la serie Living with Wolfie (2008).
The series documents my response to the ‘presents’ that Wolfie, my beloved cat, brings into the home. At first, I experienced some kind of horror: these dead creatures waiting for me in different parts of my house. Then I looked at Wolfie and tried to understand the instincts which brought them there. It reminded me of the difficulty I have in understanding the behaviours of the opposite sex or of a different tribe. At the time, my ex-partner had been unfaithful and I saw some parallels in coming to terms with the difficult habits of the ‘other’, whilst also accepting their difference.
The ceremonial aspect of these photographs is similar to the Victorian practice of making a shrine from photographs of deceased loved ones, using flowers and locks of hair to preserve the memory of the living. With these images, I am instead making a photograph from a shrine, engaging with the changing patterns of nature to bring myself closer to the memory of death and of loss. It may also be a way of acknowledging certain destructive behaviours within myself (my own alien ‘other’), as I become Wolfie’s accomplice in playing with the dead animals.

Gregory Crewdson
Nella settimana passata in giro fra Belgio e Olanda (presto spero di finire di scriverne il racconto), mentre eravamo ad Amsterdam, per la precisione al FOAM (Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam), Laura mi ha mostrato il catalogo del fotografo statunitense Gregory Crewdson, che è diventato subito uno dei miei preferiti :D
In realtà me ne aveva parlato già alcuni mesi prima, ma soltanto vedendo le stampe in grande dimensione (online si trovano solo foto di piccole dimensioni) ho potuto apprezzare la cura maniacale che questo fotografo (ed anche regista) ha nella preparazione dei suoi scatti.
Come ho letto in giro, sembra di vedere i fotogrammi di tanti film e, ovviamente, l’essere un regista ha avuto la sua importanza nello spingerlo su quel genere di foto.
Sospetto che la sola preparazione di ogni scatto porti via come minimo una giornata intera, siamo quindi nei paraggi della fotografia alla David Lachapelle, dove ogni scatto ha dietro un numero impressionante di ore per ideazione, preparazione, realizzazione e post-produzione.
Qualche scatto:
