Abstract

Sarah Carlier (1981, Belgium) presents an intriguing portrait of the Rumanian family Fuliash. People she is very well acquainted with, as she already knows them for over 14 years. For the viewer, this becomes tangible by the intimate documentation of their everyday lives; a reportage of the intense correlation between birth, marriage, live and death. Meanwhile, Carlier has a keen eye for the absurdities of the mundane, which she captured both in photography and in video. All resulting in a poetic body of multi-media work that has been smartly translated into this publication. A combination of sequenced film-stills and still photography that does not result ‘traditional’ documentary but rather in a different kind of storytelling. There is no instant gratification of our curiosities in this fragmented tale. Carlier’s work is enigmatic, she lives in the twilight zone between the real and the surreal, but the viewer is nevertheless offered a satisfying and visually balanced peak behind her eyes. In that way, we also get a privileged and very close look into the Fuliash family business.

Abstract

Photographers Sanne De Wilde (b. 1987, Belgium) and Bénédicte Kurzen (b. 1980, France) investigate the mythology of twins in Nigeria where the rate of natural twin births is higher than anywhere else in the world. As sacred beings, twins? magical and spiritual powers are celebrated with mythical fervour, but also condemned as unnatural.?Ibeji?, meaning ?double birth? and ?the inseparable two? in Yoruba, stands for the ultimate harmony between two people. Embracing this concept, the photographers created richly intriguing, intensely colourful portraits of twins.They played with the concept of doubling to create an imaginative photographic story, using double exposures, mirror reflections and colour filters. Through these pictorial processes, the two artists produced inventive double portraits, while also working together as twin-like co-authors. Land of Ibeji is the magical, colourful result.Bron : https://www.copyrightbookshop.be/en/shop/sanne-de-wilde-benedicte-kurzen-land-of-ibeji-land-of-twins/

Abstract

Hij wandelt rond en hij kijkt. Maar hij kijkt niet zomaar. Hendrik Braet is verslaafd aan straatfotografie. Zijn handen beginnen te trillen als hij er twee dagen op rij niet met zijn camera op uit is getrokken. Hij doet werkelijk niets liever dan rondwandelen en kijken. Zoals elke straatfotograaf heeft hij oog voor de kracht van het toevallige moment, maar hij voegt daar nog een element aan toe: kleur. Als geen ander vat Hendrik Braet kleurrijke toevalligheden die voor héél even een verhaal vertellen en dan weer verdwijnen. Zijn kleurrijke beelden brengen exotiek in een vertrouwde omgeving: hij toont het wonderlijke in ons alledaagse leven. Hendrik Braet hoeft niet ver te reizen om bijzondere beelden te schieten - wat goed uitkomt, want deze wandelaar heeft een hekel aan verre reizen. Het surrealisme ligt gewoon op straat voor het rapen. In dit boek neemt hij je mee op een twee jaar durende wandeling. Reporter en auteur Tim F. Van der Mensbrugghe, zelf een geroutineerd straatslenteraar, begeleidt Braets beelden met woorden. Het zijn geen woorden die de beelden uitleggen, wel voegen ze op hun eigen manier nog enkele kleurtoetsen toe. Exhibition: Zebrastraat, Ghent, Belgium (13. - 29.05.2022).

Abstract

In October 2017 Belgian Magnum photographer Bieke Depoorter met Agata in a strip club in Paris. Over the next three years, the women dove deep into a collaboration, creating a small alternative universe that served as a container for them to explore questions they each had regarding identity, performance, and representation: Who is the true author of these images? Who is the true subject? Who is Agata? Who is Agata when being photographed? Who is Bieke? Who is Bieke when making photographs? Why make these pictures? What are the motives and motivations? Who is responsible for what?The book tells both the story of a young woman using a photographer to find some sense of identity, and the story of a photographer using a young woman to better understand photographic authorship and herself. These intertwined narratives are threaded via a combination of images, letters, and notes, but what defines the dialogue is the ever-present reflex of self-awareness and self-reflection. The result is a project that never lands on any sort of conclusive truth, instead highlighting the slippery nature of truth in situations where power, responsibility, and control are in a constant state of flux.As a whole, Agata is a project that asks more questions than it offers answers, first recognizing the well-worn idea of photographer-as-witness as a relative impossibility, then throwing all players involved under the microscope: photographer, subject, audience, and, of course, the medium itself.bron: https://www.copyrightbookshop.be/shop/bieke-depoorter-agata/

Abstract

Thought-provoking case studies on cities, photographs and books Photographic books are almost as old as photography itself, and the city is one of their first and more recurring themes. Cities have been, and they continue to be, intensely photographed under a wide variety of forms, materialities, intentions and genres. This volume examines how a city can be moulded through the particularities of a photographic book, suggesting how urban portraits configure an overlooked, yet quite specific, photo-textual practice. Ranging from early photography to contemporary works, Paper Cities gathers thought-provoking case studies from several international contexts, providing new insights into art, material culture, history, heritage and memory, while simultaneously illuminating the debate on cities, photographs and books.

Abstract

New series of photographs by Geert Goiris, addressing the topic of our contemporary oil culture. Commissioned by Rubis Mécénat cultural fund, Goiris was given permission to the Rubis Terminal sites in Rouen and other sites in Europe. He tackles the subject from the outside, limiting himself to that particular moment when oil is seemingly without drama. This is not about the technical feat of extracting the oil from the earth, nor about the economic, social and/or geopolitical effects generated by its existence. Rather it is about the in-between stations, the moments when oil is only potentially active.

Abstract

En présentant une sélection géographique et ethnique diversifiée, cette anthologie interprète le concept de livre photo dans le sens le plus large possible. Des livres reliés classiques et des portfolios aux œuvres inédites, en passant par les zines et les scrapbooks, elle documente des publications connues, telles que ”Métal” de Germaine Krull (1928) et ”Diane Arbus : An Aperture Monograph” (1972), et des articles relativement inconnus, comme ”African Journey” d’Eslanda Cardozo Goode Robeson (1945) et ”Far and Near” d’Eiko Yamazawa (1962). En outre, il aborde les lacunes et omissions flagrantes, notamment le manque d’accès, de soutien et de financement pour les livres de photos réalisés par des femmes non occidentales et des femmes de couleur.
