"There exists a long tradition of thinking on photography in terms of its privileged access to the real. Unlike the painting or the drawing, the photograph was alleged to cut through the aesthetic and cultic value: what the camera produced was a document, without aura and free of aesthetic traps".(1)
The recent works by Katharina Sieverding focus on montages and interfaces of spaces, references, and protagonists carried to the extreme.
"Only then, when pushed to its limits, can it (the imago) be held still long enough to begin to ask questions of its nature. What is this thing, the imago, which stands for and yet is not "I'? And what is it that plays with the imago, which works on it from the outside, shapes it, sculpts it? For by definition it is a being that does not stand in the representation, but is external to it, is faceless, "abstract"".(2)
The 23 works in the series "Ressource Terabyte 2009" are upright formats, measuring 190 x 125 cm each, for the most part divided horizontally into three parts and of intensive, complementary, polarizing colour, for example, yellow/magenta, red/green, ultramarine/orange-red, turquoise/pink, coelin/yellow, white/red, etc. The basic structure, the tectonics of this three-part structure are black/white documentaries, fragments of the obsessive recordings of systems of art, economy, history, affection, personal performances, decay.
These colours, filtered highly analogously, function like an abstracting, melting, interdisciplinary cast medium, which may rephrase the questions concerning the colour of truth of documentarisms in the field of art(3), the symbolism of the colours of truth, the affective appropriation and feelings, the "affective turn"(4), and free itself from their conventions. The concern is to establish a counter power. "Perhaps when the imago is built and elaborated this strongly, it can push back some of the forces of normalization and speak in its own name."(5)
Le 24 mars 1976, le peuple argentin subit un coup d’état militaire. C’est le début d’une ère de répression sanglante, où quelque 30 000 personnes disparaissent et près de 500 bébés sont volés. Mais s’ouvre également une période d’ultralibéralisme d&ea...

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...
