По сообщению рядом, NOVA_GALLERY: http://forum.znyata.com/viewtopic.php?p=39426#39426 «…помнится, мой первый опыт общения с фотографией, сделанной пинхол-камерой, был полон стольких новых впечатлений! вот посмотрите фотографии финской фотографессы, чьи снимки и попались мне в руки»: http://marjapirila.com/pinhole.html По ссылке появляется большой набор работ в нескольких сериях. Просто прекрасный автор, думающий и последовательный, работы невероятно эффектны в найденных ракурсах, очень живописны в «стенопных» сериях картинах на стенах… замечательно просто.

SPEAKING LIGHT - Marja Pirila & Petri Nuutinen: exhibition and workshop. In summer 2007, the National Centre of Photography is happy to announce a project in collaboration with two Finnish artists - Marja Pirila and Petri Nuutinen. The project will include an exhibition of Marja Pirila’s and Petri Nuutinen’s work in the exhibition hall of the National Centre of Photography, as well as a workshop in pinhole photography conducted by Marja Pirila. The project consists of two parts : 1/ Speaking Light. Exhibition of Marja Pirila and Petri Nuutinen: 22 June – 16 July, exhibition hall of National Centre of Photography (35 Bolshaya Morskaya, St.Petersburg). Exhibition works every day from 11 to 19, entrance is free. Sometimes light, a place or an objects calls forth memories and emotions, pushing one towards the unknown, one’s innermost self. Speaking House (Marja Pirila) 2006 is a series of chromogenic colour photographs of rooms in a deserted house that were converted into camera obscuras. In these images, the dilapidated spaces merge with spaces of light. Disintegration and death appear simultaneously as a bare and solemn blending into the light. Mother’s Buckets (Marja Pirila & Petri Nuutinen 2006) is an ensemble of works in which light creates fleeting pictures of the outside world on matte glass in buckets converted into camera obscuras, as if on the frozen surface of water. The works combine an old recollection, the camera obscura phenomenon and an everyday object into a continually changing whole, with its centre located everywhere. http://www.art-gid.com/events/photo/90/ Pirilä, Marja, Finland / Suomi INTERIOR/EXTERIOR “The original thought to create these pictures was born of a nocturnal insight: in a room transformed into a camera obscura I could simultaneously, on the same piece of film, capture a person, his/her room and the scenery streaming from the window. What a comprehensive means to portray the living environment of a human being! After years of experience of working with pinhole cameras, I began the project with a curious and persevering intent: experiments with several minute exposures, strenuous darkening processes, arrangements and cancellations of appointments, waiting for the right light, framing and focusing attempts in dark spaces. Being dazzled by light. Deep pleasure from the metamorphosis of a room. Wonder about the quivering, enchanting phenomenon. More often than not, something unexpected happened in camera the obscuras. Intentions transmogrified themselves into something new, the space and the situations lured one into unplanned solutions. In a dark room, during long exposure times, I could only hope that the phenomenon which constantly quivered and took new forms under my very eyes would be captured on film as I had experienced it in the silence of the space. The photographs began to take form not only as the charting of the living environment of a human being, but also of the landscapes of the mind: reflections of thoughts, dreams, fears and reveries. I think of photographs as a journey into people - and, simultaneously, into myself. Only the openness and willingness of people to surrender to something new, only their trust, curiosity and patience allowed light the time and the opportunity to be captured on film.” http://www.backlight.fi/bl02/pirila.htm Marja Pirilä – Puhuva valo, 9.9.-1.10.2006 Galleria Heino, Uudenmaankatu 16-20, Helsinki Puhuva talo #10, 2006, 74x92 cm, pigmenttivedos Выставка современной финской фотографии c 12 сентября по 12 октября 2003 Государственный центр фотографии МК РФ, FRAME — финский художественный фонд, AV-Arkki - центр по распространению финского медиа-искусства (Хельсинки) представляют выставку современной финской фотографии и видео-арта "Другое зрение". Представленный проект - результат сотрудничества открытого год назад Государственного центра фотографии, финского фонда FRAME, занимающегося поддержкой проектов в области современного искусства в Финляндии, и архива медийных работ финских художников AV-Arkki. Выставка современной финской фотографии и видео-арта "Другое зрение" демонстрирует ряд работ широко известных финских фотографов. Авторов представленных на выставке работ объединяет интерес к оптическим эффектам, воспринимаемым зрением человека. На фотографиях Миклоша Гааля (Miklos Gaal) настоящие машины выглядят как игрушечные, а люди как оловянные куклы; Марья Пирила (Marja Pirila) превращает обычную комнату в камеру обскура; Харри Лариосто (Harri Larjosto) делает видимым сюрреальность различных социальных ситуаций, которые для нас являются самоочевидными и которые, поэтому, мы расцениваем как рациональные; Лииза Лоунила (Liisa Lounila) в видео-работах показывает движение "фиксирующего зрения" в пространстве при остановке времени, а Хели Рекула (Heli Rekula) испытывает зрение на внимание к почти незаметным изменениям в морском пейзаже. Выставка собрала "оптические обманки", которые можно произвести с помощью современной фотографии или видео-арта. Авторы трансформируют формальный прием в художественный и добиваются интересных результатов. Каждый из пяти художников выражает иную способность смотреть. В их работах важно совсем не то, что они открывают нам новую точку зрения на вещи в мире, а то, что само изображение является другим зрением. Речь идет практически об иной физической способности зрения, возможной только в фотографии или видео-арте. http://www.museum.ru/N13939 Marja Pirilä 18.1.-9.2. 2003 CAMERA OBSCURA sisätila/ulkotila Camera obscura/Iris 2002, Tampere kromogeeninen värivedos 190 x 77, diptyykki editio 7 http://www.galleriaheino.fi/2002-2004/pirila.htm http://marjapirila.com/

Camera obscura «Случайно обнаружила себя на сайте моего кумира по обскурным инсталляциям Марьи Пирили (Marja Pirila)… В августе 2005г. в ГЦФ Марья демонстрировала свой проект "CAMERA OBSCURA interior/exterior". Я была буквально потрясена увиденным. Фотографии, сделанные в практически полной темноте. Через сравнительно небольшой pin свет проникает в hole, а вместе с ним и картинка c улицы переносится в комнату. По стенам колышатся ветки деревьев, по потолку прогуливаются прохожие и ездят машины !!! Весной прошлого года мы сделали свою камеру обскура. Непередаваемые ощущения восторга и неподдельная радость эксперимента, сопровождались громкими визгами каждый раз, когда по потолку проезжала машина! Можно было разглядеть цвет и марку автомобиля». http://oolelukoe.livejournal.com/40468.html Ссылка оттуда: http://marjapirila.com/obscuras/buckets.html * Arthur Tress: Fantastická cesta http://www.phpweb.cz/file.php?type=file ... 1_file.doc

Art Brussels Galleria Heino at Art Brussels 2007, 20.-23.4.2007 Brussels Expo, Stand 12e - 18 Galleria Heino will present works by the following artists: Petri Hytönen Martti Jämsä Marja Pirilä Kim Simonsson PETRI HYTÖNEN CITY AND FIGHTING SPIRITS, 2005 watercolour on paper 56 x 81 cm Artist Petri Hytönen has used both traditional brushes and spray painting techniques in his watercolours. His newer works incorporate digital photography - large inkjet printouts - and watercolours. The artist takes his own photographs and processes them with Photoshop on computer to "wipe clear" an empty space, where he paints after making a paper print of the photo. MARTTI JÄMSÄ Martti Jämsä's world of photographs consists of small, yet important things. Dominated by a certain sense of inert melancholy, his photographs are often of summer and small boys busy playing. His works aren't portraits however. The figures are usually so detached they seem to depict an idea of some idyllic life. Likewise, in their minimalist sensitivity, Jämsä's nature photos create unique opportunities to contemplate… MARJA PIRILÄ In the Speaking House series, I have transformed spaces in a large abandoned house into dark rooms, camera obscuras. Camera Obscura (Latin “dark room”) signifies a dark room where windows are covered. I use black plastic, make a hole in it and place a convex lens in front of the hole. This way, the outside world is reflected upside down in the room, where I then photograph the person living there or just the room. Scientists, artists and philosophers have used the phenomenon for centuries in their work. KIM SIMONSSON Kim Simonsson's works are figurative with child and animal motifs. In the child theme, the artist has been influenced by the imagery and visual idiom of Japanese manga cartoons. “Manga is rather violent and even pornish. I have always been intrigued by its visual idiom, the conflict between the innocence and toughness of the figures.” Kim Simonsson's art seems to be contructed of conflicts and crossing of boundaries, to the point of becoming his trademark.

INTERIOR / EXTERIOR INTERIOR / EXTERIOR is a project which started in 1996. By using a special of camera obscura technique I can capture into the same image with one long exposure both person, room and the reflection of external landscape. First I just have to transform the room into camera obscura and then photograph there by using normal lens camera and long exposures. Until now I have been working with this method in Finland, Norway, Italy, Estonia and France. At the moment Interior/Exterior series has 70 colour prints, the sizes of them are from 35 x 45 cm to 150 x 185 cm. The project continues and takes new forms. Usually I also create into the exhibition place a unique camera obscura with many lenses together with Petri Nuutinen to show the fascinating light phenomenon on which these images are based. In 2002 came out my second photobook CAMERA OBSCURA interior/exterior. INSIDE A CAMERA OBSCURA - AND IN PERSONAL PLACE by Janne Seppänen professor of visual culture University of Art and Design in Helsinki When Marja Pirilä makes a camera obscura, a darkened room, out of someone´s flat, with the outside world projected upside down on its walls, she is playing with an invention that is thousands of years old. The people in her pictures are situated in their own personal spaces, within four walls. Windows open from these spaces onto the outside world. The window is the boundary between the private and the public, between the personal and the commonly shared, and - if you like - between psyche and culture. In them, the external space leaks with irresistibile force into the interior, into the persona, domain. The window is no longer a peephole, but becomes a two-way portal between inside and outside. This eats away at consept of human beings for whom their own interiority alone suffices, and who view the world without the world getting to them. Pirilä´s pictures attest to the fact that the landscape seen from the window is not outside, but within us. Here, we are at the centre of formation of identity, at the point where the individual´s mental reality meets cultural narratives. http://marjapirila.com/interior_text.html http://marjapirila.com/interior_book.html Выставки: http://marjapirila.com/interior_exhibitions.html * См. также специально: CAMERA OBSCURA WORKS s p i r a l b i r c h e s c o m b s n o w c a m e r a s s e l f p o r t r a i t t u b e s s c r e e n s a l b u m m o t h e r´s b u c k e t s e y e s a n d m o u t h http://marjapirila.com/camera_obscura.html

Встретил сегодня Алену: http://forum.znyata.com/viewtopic.php?t=3368 Жутко радостно. Она на день заехала в Вильнюс и была в университете (здесь сейчас — приемная кампания, экзамены. У нас с полсотни человек рисовали и проходили дизайнерский тест…). Немного поговорили о планах. Отсюда она — в Минск, так что неплохо было бы устроить встречу опять…

The Eiffel Tower Pep Ventosa : The Collective Snapshot Помимо «мозаичных» проектов, еще и отдельный «слоеный», из собственных и чужих фотографий известных мест, обычно снимаемых в отпуске «на память»: The Golden Gate Le Moulin Rouge The Great Sphinx of Giza * Слайд-шоу на входной странице сайта: http://www.pepventosa.com/index.html Такая вот информация к «мозаичным» снимкам: San Francisco comes together, piece by piece, when Pep Ventosa assembles a colorful puzzle Leba Hertz Pep Ventosa knows how to get pieces of the action. His process incorporates using many photos and piecing them together like a jigsaw puzzle to create vibrant scenes of San Francisco as well as his native Spain. Fragmentation is the key to Ventosa's original photographic concept. "My work is about the art of seeing," Ventosa writes in his artist statement. "I try to adapt to photography the fragmented way the eye grasps the appearance of things and the brain reconstructs these sequenced perceptions to give shape and order to an enveloping whole." Ventosa might use as many as 101 photographs, such as in his work "Cannery," to arrive at the final product. "By shooting a scene in fragments from different perspectives," he writes, "the result is many different points of view converged into a single image: a reconstructed image, perhaps invented. ... An image real in all of its parts, but not in its whole." Ventosa, 47, was born in Vilafranca del Penedes, Spain. He and his wife, Jackie Steinman, live in San Francisco. Photography hasn't been Ventosa's sole passion. He also is a musician, playing drums and recording albums, and owned a jazz bar in Barcelona for three years. He has been a music critic and also a director of tourism in Vilafranca. He is currently traveling in Spain, taking more pictures. "What amazes me about Pep is his extraordinary level of patience," Steinman writes. "For instance, this morning, he went on one of his walking photo safaris through Barcelona and shot more than 1,500 photographs in about five hours. He'll then spend the next few weeks and months working with each shot, puzzling them together and playing with the end creations -- maybe a few dozen new collages will emerge when all is said and done. Some will work out, some won't ... "He says he can't tell if one will work until all the surprises of re- creating that scene come into play. He likes to say, 'Mica a mica s'ompla la pica,' a Catalan expression. It means 'Little by little the sink fills.' " http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.c ... AMFQQ1.DTL

Jörg Colberg указывает еще на такого автора, как Jason Salavon, работающего в сходной технике. На сайте, впрочем, много других проектов, включая видео.

Ed. 7 + 2 APs. 100 Special Moments (Newlyweds) 100 Special Moments (Newlyweds) 2004 Digital C-print. 42" x 31.5". Ed. 7 + 2 APs. From a broader series begun in 1997, each of these works utilizes 100 unique commemorative photographs culled from the internet. The final compositions are arrived at using both the mean and the median, splitting the difference between a specific norm and an ideal one. Every Playboy Centerfold, The Decades The 1960s The 1970s The 1980s The 1990s Every Playboy Centerfold, The Decades (normalized) 2002 Digital C-prints 60" x 29.5" ea. Ed. 5 + 2 APs From a broader series begun in 1997, the photographs in this suite are the result of mean averaging every Playboy centerfold foldout for the four decades beginning Jan. 1960 through Dec. 1999. This tracks, en masse, the evolution of this form of portraiture. Jason Salavon Working around art, information technology, and daily life. Using software processes of his own design, Jason Salavon generates and reconfigures masses of communal material to present new perspectives on the familiar. Though formally varied, his projects frequently manipulate the roles of individual elements arranged in diverse visual populations. This often unearths unexpected pattern as the relationship between the part and the whole, the individual and the group, is explored. Reflecting a natural attraction to popular culture and the day-to-day, his work regularly incorporates the use of common references and source material. The final compositions are exhibited as art objects, such as photographic prints and video installations, while others exist in a real-time software context. Born in Indiana, raised in Texas, and based in Chicago, Salavon earned his MFA at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and his BA from The University of Texas at Austin. His work has been shown in museums and galleries around the world. Reviews of his exhibitions have been included in such publications as Artforum, Art in America, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal. Examples of his artwork are included in a number of prominent public and private collections. He has taught at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and was employed for numerous years as an artist and programmer in the video game industry Selected Projects http://salavon.com/work.php

A horror vacui reigns in each of the images, which the artist accentuates by unifying multiple views of the same scene. They are fragmented views, multiple framings, various angles, which the artist utilizes to reveal interiors of homes, cobblers, iconographic shops, tailors, florists, fruit vendors-all everyday spaces, which are at the risk of disappearing. The artist constructs large "murals" in which color and composition are significant components. These captivating photographic sequences are the result of Soto's meticulous research and study of such spaces. http://photo.box.sk/about.php3?id=489 Gary Isaacs К линии «Родченко-Михайлова»… трудно все же подобраться к классикам на уровне увлечения… http://photo.box.sk/about.php3?id=464 http://www.garyisaacs.com/ Упс…

Ностальгия: «…Производство любительской фотоаппаратуры в капиталистических странах определяется иными, чем у нас, задачами и иной целью. Аппаратура рассчитана прежде всего на рынок, на извлечение прибылей и самое главное — на потребителя, которому принципиально нет никакого дела ни до фотографии как творчества, ни до устройства фотоаппарата. Камера должна "снимать сама". Фирма, производящая фототовары, создает необходимый и бесперебойный сервис для своего потребителя, заботясь о том, чтобы как можно надежнее ограничить его от "шевеления мозгами", получая за это соответствующую мзду. Неудивительно, что разница между уровнями любительской и профессиональной фотографии в капиталистических странах гораздо большая, чем у нас. Культивирование у нас только любительских камер с жесткой автоматикой (то есть без возможности отключения автоматики и работы в ручном режиме) — это, возможно, проявление социальной недальновидности. Фотоаппараты с жесткой системой автоматики (а именно такие предлагают нашим любителям) не научат человека фотографически мыслить, в технике фотографии он многого не поймет и в творчестве не продвинется.

Снова о конце эпохи… Flickring Out What will become of photojournalism in an age of bytes and amateurs? By Alissa Quart …At photo agencies, or in private conversations with newspaper and magazine photographers and editors, you hear the same end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it dirge that plays in the print world. But these worries don’t tend to go public in speeches about The State of Photography. There are few deathbed panel discussions about the genre, unlike all the discussions about in-depth reporters shuffling to the graveyard. Maybe part of it is that while photojournalism may be harder to practice, there is no shortage of photos—we are deluged by images. I am optimistic about the future of photojournalism, but not of the photojournalism I most admire. …But is the rise of still-photos-as-films and “citizen photojournalism” only a big nightmare? Or is it also a liberation? Some would say yes. There are bright spots to the amateur-image revolution. Lots of photos of “my girlfriend’s feet,” true, but bystanders also now often shoot the most crucial events of our day. …While professional photographers are suffering, news photography and photography of all kinds is flourishing. Citizens around the world can cheaply photograph and distribute images of their own countries and cities, places like Dhaka and Freetown. …e will have amateur photographers—some lucky people at the right awful place at the right awful time (Nigerians who are at the next explosion of a pipeline, say). And I hope that innately gifted photographers will emerge as well—a Chinese Kratochvil, a Nigerian Gilles Peress. According to some, the rise of the amateur news image itself is a thing of value. “What distinguishes the icon is not professionalism,” says Robert Hariman, a professor of communications and co-founder of No Caption Needed, a blog about photojournalism as a public art. “The Challenger photo was a screen grab. All the photos at Tiananmen Square were not good photos—they were too far away.” …There are also some bright spots for the professional photojournalists, though they aren’t the predictable ones. Right now, as its value on the open market of news magazines falls, photojournalism’s prestige, paradoxically, rises: a Dorothea Lange bread line photo from 1932 sold for $720,000 a couple of years ago; a dozen New York City galleries showed Magnum photographers’ work in 2007. http://www.cjr.org/essay/flickring_out_1.php
