DISCIPULA - Just Like Arcadia

“Just Like Arcadia describes the disintegration of a digital image through the manipulation of its JPEG code. The image is a render of the Garden Bridge, a planned but never realized architectural project by Thomas Heather-wick Studio (and at the centre of a lively debate on London’s misuse of public funds).

Unseen Amsterdam - Photography Fair 2018

Unseen Amsterdam is a huge international photography fair at the Westergasfabriek. It was inspiring to see the many ways in which artists choose to display their work. I found the ones that stood out the most used their 3d space in an interesting or unusual way: adding textiles, plastering layers of photos on the walls and layering framed photos on top, or adding 3D objects. Some were just simple photographs but with a beautiful dramatic composition. Below are some of my favorites.

Discipula.2015.

  Un libro difícil para un domingo.

O como reflexionar sobre nuestra propia identidad y las mascaras que llevamos. A partir de “Love’s Body “( 5° capitulo), de Brown, en el que presenta a un cuerpo casi divino que traspasa los limites de lo real,  Paltrinieri da su interpretación personal,  recogiendo imágenes y citas en la web y creando sus propios collages. Un libro abierto, de paginas intercambiables. Una reflexión tanto sobre la imagen digital y sus transformaciones, como sobre nuestro propio ser, y la imagen que queremos dar.

Cuando ya cuestionamos la veracidad y capacidad de la fotografía para contar nuestra realidad y nuestro ser, la máscara está por todas partes, en multiples formas.

“No name. No memory today of yesterday’s name; of today’s name, tomorrow.”

Un libro fino e inteligente, que va dejando huella según lo dejas madurar. Discipula es una editorial de libros exigentes. Hoy es domingo lluvioso, y llega el frío. Buen dia para pensar en quienes somos. O para ir a pasear…

“The Mask is Magic”.

Tommaso Tanini/Discipula - H. said he loved us 

www.landscapestories.net

H. Said He Loved Us is a project that draws upon the story of GDR and the German Ministry for State Security (STASI) to investigate the feelings of fear and oppression caused by living under constant suspicion and diffidence.

H. Said He Loved Us combines and overlay archival and documentary research (inclusive of collected documents and interviews with people jailed by the STASI) with a personal and subjective photographic investigation inspired by the book “L’uomo è forte” written by the Italian writer Corrado Alvaro in 1938.

Along with the portraits, images of East Germany cityscapes and anonymous interiors create an unresolved tension between the act of spying and being spied upon.

In the days that followed the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Stasi officers attempted to destroy all information collected and stored until then on its citizens. Since 1994, the shredded material is preserved and rebuilt by the Federal Commission for the Stasi Archives (BSTU). The goal is to make the material accessible and restored in many cases the people involved find they have been inspected and reported by family, friends and work colleagues.
