Des gens assez observateurs m'ont demandé, par mails, pourquoi j'avais supprimé mon article consacré à PR Smith. Je m'en serais volontiers expliqué avec elle mais elle a jugé opportun de me bloquer sur FB. Comme elle bloque tous les artistes qui lui réclament des comptes. Je consacre quelques lignes à m'expliquer. Tout simplement, j'aime promouvoir les artistes qui me plaisent, j'aime présenter et évoquer personnellement leur oeuvre et tenter de la faire découvrir à ceux qui visitent mes blogs. J'avais donc proposé un important article sur PR Smith. Dans l'immédiate foulée, j'ai été instruit, par des artistes ulcérés, de certaines inconcevables pratiques de PR Smith. Je ne me pose pas en législateur, en avocat ou en moraliste mais en artiste qui a le respect de son travail et de celui des autres. Or, la façon de procéder de PR Smith m'est apparue écoeurante, obscène, fondamentalement irrespectueuse du travail de ses pairs. Je vais apporter ici la preuve de la façon dont elle pille éhontément le travail des autres.

What happens when a circle begins? You know the circle will end. The matter is how is it gonna end. (The matter is, how can you know how is it gonna end?). A photographer meets an subject, not that she thinks he his, but it’s the only thing he deserves to be. And he knows it, and he likes it. Skin is a boundary [then] skin is an opportunity.

Matt Blum started “The Nu Project” with the idea that women of all shapes and sizes deserve to be photographed beautifully as fine art nudes. His subjects were volunteers through word-of-mouth or Craigslist–they came with their stories, their successes and failures, their scars, their survival of abusive relationships, their tales of triumph over body image–and he photographed them. These days the collection continues to grow; over 150 women (some with their partners) have participated, most in their own homes.. Delete the scoop?

Par leur qualité visuelle et leur recherche, esthétique autant que déontologique, sur la portée du témoignage et le sens de notre époque, ces photographies ont leur place sur les murs. La Galerie leur offre une autre vie, sur un tempo différent, appelant sur elles un regard plus calme et attentif à leur démarche formelle que celui, pressé, du lecteur qui tourne les pages des magazines. Leur force les arrache à l’actualité immédiate.

Carrées, en noir et blanc, cadrées avec un mélange de précision et de perturbation de l’espace, les images de Roger Ballen sont, à chaque fois, comme la cristallisation de petites histoires, de brèves aventures qui se résument en une pièce de théâtre en un seul acte d’image, mais aussi des accumulations de questions. Nous n’aurons d’autre réponse que le trouble, l’énigme, une étrangeté générale qui traverse la question de l’identité autant que celle de la forme et du sens du portrait. […] Dans “Outland” – qui signifie “en marge de la société” ou “aux limites de la psyché” – Ballen intègre la théâtralité de certaines situations de la vie quotidienne des personnes qu’il photographie. Celles-ci commencent à participer activement à la production des images en fictionnalisant leur propre représentation. Pour autant, ça n’en fait pas des acteurs, ni de simples modèles. Ballen créé une image hybride dans laquelle s’entremêlent portrait et tableau. Le rapport à la prise de vue qu’ont les personnes photographiées se révèle multiple et complexe, tout comme le sont les relations qui régissent la société contemporaine…

Miguel Ángel Sánchez traveled in 2012 with his studio to Ulu Pamir, Turkey, a far place in the middle of Turkish Kurdistan, hidden between mountains with very hard winters and connected by a tortuous path to Van Lake. 30 years ago, this land was the witness of the arrival of a group of unusual people with unusual features. These people, originally from Kyrgyzstan, came walking from far away, from Pamir, with the promise of a better and safer life hosted by the Turkish government, avoiding the war with USSR. 30 years later, people from this place fight against the government´s abandonment and harassment of the PKK guerrilla warfare. Miguel Ángel portrayed the inhabitants from this small village and their will to preserve their roots and traditions despite being far away from their original land. Via Photo report

Miguel Ángel Sánchez (Madrid 1977), Spanish photographer based in Cairo since 2009. For years he combined his development as an artist with his work in a commercial photography studio, until, in 2009, he decided to completely turn over to his creative side and opened his own photography studio in Cairo (Egypt).
His studio in Cairo is the base where he works and prepares projects developed in Egypt for the last four years, but he is also a study itinerant photographer who takes his workspace to any corner of the world: Asia, Middle East or black Africa. The Gaddafi war in Libya, the Ulu Pamir besieged by the PKK in Turkish Kurdistan, the Gaza Strip after Israel bombing and Lebanon after Hariri are some of the ports reached by Studio Al Asbani.
Miguel Ángel Sánchez also combines his work as a studio photographer with photojournalist and cameraman in conflict zones where he covered the war in Libya, the Egyptian revolution and the Gaza Operation Pillar of defense, among others.
His work has been published by national media such as El País, and international as The New York Times, Le Monde, New Yorker, Photo Raw, La Lettre de la Photographie, etc.

White Pride provides the viewer with unprecedented access into two of America's most notorious extremist communities, the Ku Klux Klan and disparate groups of white nationalists. Anthony Karen's camera captures not only rare video of a Ku Klux Klan cross lighting ceremony but takes the viewer from public demonstrations to secret meetings and into the homes and lives of his subjects. .

On April 26, 1986, reactor number four at the Chernobyl nuclear power facility in what is now the Ukraine exploded. For years, the Soviet authorities withheld information on Chernobyl, both from its own people and from the rest of the world. While many cities, towns and villages were immediately evacuated in the aftermath of the world’s worst nuclear accident, residents of Redkovka, a village just 35 km from the reactor, refused to leave. Lida and Mikhail Masanovitz, both in their 70s, live in the desolate village. The couple were both born in Redkovka, and never considered moving out, not even after they learned about Chernobyl. The village today lies almost empty and decrepit. It is classified a zone two, making it too dangerous for anyone to live in. Its remaining residents are living off the land, eking out their silent years in the shadow of Chernobyl. Via Photo report Delete the scoop?

Wayne Levin captures all things ocean—freedivers, surfers, whales, dolphins, seals, sharks, rays, and shipwrecks—and that’s just a short list of his exquisite subjects. Exploring the mysterious depths of the underwater world has been an ongoing passion for the Hawaii-based photographer for more than 20 years, and he has done so working with black-and-white, a detail that seems to enhance the beauty and secrets of the sea.

The word "karoshi" came into common use around 1990, when Japanese workers began working longer hours in response to competition from overseas and the recession at the time. Despite increased awareness of the dangers of overwork, de-regulation and increased global competition means that Japanese workers are working harder than ever.
With the recession of the 1990s and the lifting of a ban on the use of cheap temporary laborers, salarymen increasingly work longer hours because of a shortage of manpower and the fear of losing jobs. Via Photo report

C’est un sous-bois calme. Une forêt de résineux qui filtrent une lumière grise, un sol soigneusement entretenu, propre, quelques arbrisseaux fragiles au vert plus tendre poussent entre les troncs chenus aux écailles d’écorce gris acier laissant apparaître ce brun rougeâtre caractéristique des espèces. Les troncs de trois des arbres, vers l’avant, sont ceints d’écharpes blanches brodées de couleur. L’image, en couleurs, prise à la chambre et d’une qualité technique impeccable est résolument frontale, sans effet. C’est une de ces images documentaires d’aujourd’hui, sans pathos comme il se doit et, si nous la retrouvions sur le stand d’une galerie d’art contemporain dans une grande foire, nous n’en serions pas étonnés : elle s’inscrit dans la droite ligne des réflexions formelles sur le paysages, elle flirte avec les échos du land art, elle pourrait appartenir à la vogue actuelle de l’image mise en scène. Si elle n’est pas contextualisée, si aucun mot ne vient nous apporter d’information, elle est, comme toutes les photographies, dotée d’un impact visuel indéniable qui n’a d’égal que sa totale imprécision par rapport à ce qu’elle représente. Organisation de formes dans le rectangle elle propose à notre œil de circuler dans sa géométrie pour un parcours qui, obligatoirement, nous ramènera à ces écharpes, à ces étoles qui, entre pansement et rituel mystérieux signalent simplement que ce bois n’est pas ordinaire, qu’il n’est pas comme les autres. Mais cette image est accompagnée d’une légende, d’un texte : Kiev Bykovnia
