Throughout 2007, Rochester Democrat and Chronicle staff photographer Will Yurman’s goal was to document the stories of the more than 50 homicide victims in the Rochester area. “Every death is a tragedy. But when someone is murdered, it is an act of violence against the victim, their family, their friends and every one of us,” says Yurman. “Homicide victims are not just statistics. They are our neighbors and our family.”
Not Forgotten: Portraits of Life and Death in Rochester, an exhibition of Yurman’s yearlong project, has been added to the Museum’s winter 2008 offerings on the topic of loss and hope in photography.
“It is critical that we recognize violence as an epidemic, both in our society and worldwide. George Eastman House is taking a lead role in encouraging a dialogue about this issue and its effect on our lives,” says Museum Director Anthony Bannon. “By presenting LOSS/HOPE exhibitions and programs about seemingly disparate topics such as the civil rights movement, early 20th-century child welfare, conflicts in the Middle East, and others, we are showing that the photograph has been and continues to be a vehicle for both understanding and change.”

Du dépouillement des clichés de Catherine Lambermont se dégage une poésie narrative. Ses images composent une suite d’instants d’observation libre. Son travail réhabilite le continuum qui caractérise chaque frontière. La frontière est le lieu du lien. Entre le corps et l’es...

Simone Nieweg is a photographer of gardens and landscapes. Her work, as it has manifested itself over the past thirty years, knows no other interest. At the same time, a certain serenity hovers over her pictures. In them, nature seems entirely focused on itself. One immediately notices that human beings are absent. The allure of colors and shapes...
« Je ne peux m’empêcher, atteste Gérard Uféras, d’associer la pratique de l’Art à la notion d’amour et de partage ». (extrait de son livre Etats de grâce, éditions du Fantom)
«Egyptian pack» evokes many associations - here are both Petersburgers favorite topic of werewolves (see the movie of E. Yufit «Corpsmen werewolves») and references to the Perm animal style.
Also we can recall British film «The Wicker Man» (1973) with its ritual procession of the man-beasts, ho...
