In this new series of colour photographs Guy Tillim looks intimately at the daily life of the residents of a village in central Malawi. On two occasions he stayed for a week in the village and quietly observed the conversations and routines of the day. His lyrical images of the residents and the textures of the village linger with their stillness and reserve. The exhibition is also to be seen in Italy at the Museo di Roma on the occasion of the fifth edition of the FotoGrafia International Festival of Rome which opens in April 2006. Tillim¹s work is included on the exhibition Snap Judgments: New positions in contemporary African photography curated by Okwui Enwezor at the International Center of Photography in New York (10 March 28 May 2006). In 2005 Tillim won the Leica Oskar Barnack Award for his photographic series Jo¹burg, which was widely exhibited in Africa and Europe, and his Leopold and Mobutu series was exhibited at the Photographers¹ Gallery in London. His work is also included on the international touring exhibition Africa Remix, which has been seen in Düsseldorf, London and Paris and travels to Tokyo¹s Mori Art Museum in May 2006. Tillim was the winner of the 2004 DaimlerChrysler Award for South African photography and of the 2003 Higashikawa Overseas Photographer Award. His work has recently been acquired for the collections of the International Center of Photography and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. The exhibition will open on Wednesday 3 May, 6 8pm. The gallery is open from Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, and Saturday from 10am to 1pm.

Michael Ruetz « The family of dog »

With "The Family of Dog", Michael Ruetz has created, over the last 50 years, a unique body of photographic work. Superficially, these images might appear to pay tribute to the established forms of animal photography. But a second, more focused view shows that the reverse is true. Ruetz' pictures are as far removed from those of the animal specialist...
