Philip Lorca diCorcia discusses his series Heads, and the famous case Nussenzweig v. diCorcia.
Fascinated by the profound effect that color can have on perception and emotions, Bill Armstrong produces lush, semi-abstract, semi-figurative photographs. In his series, he makes his photographs by taking intentionally blurred photographs of other photographs.
Michael Jang spent nearly forty years working as a commercial portrait photographer capturing iconic figures. Unbeknown to the world, he was also infiltrating and documenting a number of subcultures from all strata of society.
One thing just led to another. I started photography when I was very young, like at 15 or something. A friend told me she was doing a workshop every Wednesday afternoon, and she asked, "Do you want to do it with me?" So that's really how it started.
PhotoESPAÑA not only weaves itself with the world at large, but also firmly roots itself with the community of Madrid. We sat down with curator Susan Bright and photographer Javier Vallhonrat to get an inside look at this dynamic festival.
Mathias: Incorporating choreography is a way to make the installations change from a static to an organic form. When the dancers are not there, the audience members become the sole organic creatures in the installation, and at that moment, you could call them dancers.
Josh: This Campfire that recently happened was the one that emotionally affected me the most. All we saw were body bags being carried out, and I actually saw completely burned bodies. That will stay with me forever.
Pedro Almodóvar: The point where you’re grappling with all these elements is the point when you’re closest to the abyss. You’re doing all this and it’s very uncertain because you don’t know where the edge of the abyss will take you
Bella Luca: The inspiration would be what is going on in our culture today. In my view, no matter what color, gender, race or what shape or size you are, you’re welcome. Equality matters.
The extent to which photography has been defined is being expanded; Scandinavia’s largest photography event is blurring the genre boundaries and breaking traditional characterizations.
Signe Pierce: There’s something scary because you see this robot woman who is commanding her own identity, but she’s in this sexy feminine form that we associate with hyper-sexualized woman all the time on TV, in porn.
George Platt Lynes was a trailblazing mid-Century fashion and fine art photographer compelled to partially conceal during his lifetime a large, artistically significant portion of his oeuvre
Elisabeth Biondi: Back in the 70s or 80s, you didn't have that much of a variety. And now, because you can appropriate pictures and you can do whatever you want to do with the photographs — that is just amazing.
Nathaniel: Art has always been associated with money, but not to the degree that we are seeing now. I worry that cost begins to limit the access that people have to art.
Annka Kultys: Annka Kultys Gallery opened its doors in London in September 2015. I’ve heard it said that you become a collector when you have more pieces than the walls of your home can hold.
Laurel: The landscapes are images of cowboy movies, fantasy Western dreamlands. I wanted the landscapes to play into the over-the-top pin-up calendar, road-trip feeling.
