City of Life and Death - Nanjing! Nanjing!

City of life and death is a hard film from Chinese director Lu Chuan, released in the year 2009. The film offers the story of the Japanese invasion of the Chinese city of Nakina, during the Sino-Japanese War. Controversy about the data besides the war. The film shows us the Chinese view of the Japanese occupation, which tells the brutality of war.

The Japanese like Nazi Germany, they took their particular holocaust in Nakina, then capital of the Republic of China. However, in the film, the Germans are offering protection to China's population, but its powers are limited and may not prevent Japanese barbarism.

An impressive feature of the film, script aside, the photograph, an address that will prevent excellent eyes off the screen. An excellent address very carefully, which has led him to be rewarded and recognized. Finally a critical selection and collected from the portal flimaffinity.

"Creepy (...) If the boot has the power to shock the best war movies, the development of the tragedy will make your hair stand on end." (Charles Boyer: El País)

"Lu Chuan decides' spielbergizar 'in the best sense of the word, his way of narrating the episode. It is not" Schindler's List', nor 'Saving Private Ryan', but there are stretches of this film show that have nothing to envy any of them. "(E. Rodriguez Marchante: ABC Journal)

"A simply stunning production (...) From the first second, the film ignores the truth alone brutal, to surrender at least noble art of unearthing corpses. We're talking about propaganda." (Luis Martinez, Diario El Mundo)

"Cinema and great content while impressive in form, respects that counts." (Ricardo Aldarondo: Frotogramas)

Jaime Gorospe

There are photographers who have made me more than others, some in a more aesthetic appearance, others in a more conceptual, but there are other, are what have made me a very personal way.

Within this group is Jaime Gorospe. A photographer from Madrid to that although I have not seen for some time, I have the pleasure of meeting and having been for some time in their study. I will not get to assess any personal appearance, because I think his work speaks for itself.

With a style that borders on abstraction Gorospe's work is a photographer and simultaneously on the contrary, it vanishes in a way, the representation of reality that provides the picture, isolating objects and spaces in many cases eliminating the volume also cancels the photographic reality to bring us to a reality more proper to the graphic arts. Herein lies the attraction that produce their images, as we propose the challenge of discovering the reality behind the form.

It is through this simple composition of austere lines, and gets our attention, attention that can often last for hours, it is in this thread of communication established between viewer - image, which at once leads to a subconscious approach , almost childish to want to reveal what is hidden from us. It is a clean and direct photography, which does not mean it is simple.

In closing I leave a paper published by the newspaper El Mundo, because I think it's always good for a second opinion.

"Neatness, serenity, soft chromatic contrast between pure and immaculate funds, household, almost intimate, friendly blurs, simplicity ... all images from Madrid features Jaime Gorospe. Guessing here a graph will flatten objects only became signs devoid of volumes in solitary photographs seized by a look you want, lewd, the space between the strands of a comb, the letter enclosed in the corners of scissors, the shadow early diaphragmatic distortion, the perfect world of artificial microcosm of a marble ... through it, Gorospe approaches the unusual beauty of visual stimuli, an erotic and abstract mapping pattern fleeing reality and listens to the powers of color, along the aseptic and avoiding, almost by the hair, the redundant facility authoritarian world of design. Photographs of excellent quality that could well win a gritty pulse. "by Abel H. Pozuelo.

Nobuyoshi Araki

Araki, a Japanese photographer of which I have spoken before in this blog, and which seems to generate interest, at the same controversy, this time makes you devote an entire entry.

Araki was born in Japan on May 25, 1940, more specifically in the city of Tokyo. He studied photography in college, where he completed a diploma in 1963. Later work in advertising, and in 1970 married, but his wife die from ovarian cancer and decided to devote himself to photography.

As for your images, never lacking in controversy, it has to say they are highly valued in the Eastern world, because they reflect something of a dark and forbidden part of the surrounding society formalism Nippon. This type of images is becoming more prolific in his work began in 1980 when the artist makes what would be the first of the series of this issue in the district of Kabukicho in Shinjuku, Tokyo.

Anecdotally, it is noteworthy that on one occasion, in which the artist sent part of his work in Europe, were about to be destroyed images by the courier company since they considered them pornographic, and his contract was for writing that such messaging not accept the sending of pornography. After solving the misunderstanding, the images came to the show, but this endowed Araki, some controversy, which is otherwise the same which is dedicated to promoting.

Among the sickness, depravity and reflection, Araki is proposing some images where everything is dominated by an erotic component. Sexually charged, the more explicit, this author often criticized and labeled a misogynist, we attempted to show the duality of the company and puts us ahead of us in a way that society bother to conceal. It is this social fear of not wanting to see what's behind what I think Araki plans to launch in the face of a violent and elegant, but certainly brutal.

We can see his recent work in the 2005 documentary Arakimentari, by Travis Klose, showing the trajectory of this particular photographer, apart from their latest works.

Photography, between the technician and the artist ....

"View from the Window at Le Gras" 

The first photograph taken

by Niépce in 1826 Nicéphore

After the weekend, during which time I have had many moments to think about different aspects of photography, and reading a little about and others, I have again raised, as I think at some point it has a photographer, to what extent the picture, depends on the technique, and even that since this technique is no longer craft to become art.

According to the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy of Language, art in its second meaning is: "Expression of human activity through which he expresses a personal vision and selfless real or imagined plays with plastic resources, linguistic or sound. "and according to this technique is the same dictionary: "A set of procedures and resources serving a science or an art."

Daguerreotype of
Edgar Allan Poe (1848)
taken by W.S. Hartshorn

Analyzing the expression of art, I do believe that photography is, on the other hand I also believe that by either photograph or other means of expression all require techniques. perhaps the picture is more technical art as it is impossible to conceive that if the cameras.

It is for this number of reasons, for which I can not understand the conflict that even today there are between these two visions, while it is true that over time the picture has been simplified, especially in its most technical aspects slowly growing community have been doing a lot more complex. But after all they are two aspects are complementary.

Photo by José María Mellado

What I actually raises the simplification of the technique is that it is artistic photography, but he who is able to do, ie a picture a technically correct, may be a good card, or an excellent document, but an artistic , we may come to convey a message.

It is true that today, the photographic images populate the Internet, but few of these images offer us new aspects of communication, the truth is that in the network, replicas abound that one copies and effects. On the other hand, it is true that the network has access to the thousands of creative work being developed, so in my humble opinion, the creation as an act and photography as part of creation, we offer a message art can be considered depending on the intent of those who stand behind the technical apparatus.

Finally, a quote by an author that I consider of great influence, both in the photograph, as in the art world.

"Copying is human, to create is divine"

Serial Experiment Lain: philosophy disguised as entertainment

Again we are through Friday, and to relieve some stress of the week, I talk about a range of only thirteen chapters, although it is known, I believe that at least in Spain is poorly understood.

Serial Experiment Lain, is a series of 1998, which shows us a world that is not so different from ours, the truth is to do a short synopsis of the series, is complicated, without disclosing important parts of the plot at I may quote the synopsis that makes this series filmaffity.

"Lain Iwakura, an introverted girl of 14 years, only relates to the Network for that reason does not know about e-mails that are circulating about a classmate who has just committed suicide, Chisa Yomoda. A week after the suicide, Lain received this e-mail from Chisa: "I would like you, at least you, know that I'm alive. My spirit is here, and on the Web I have found God." Upon receipt, Iwakura Lian began his research on the Internet, trying to find an explanation for this incredible message ..." Filmaffinity

There are many interesting aspects of this care would be, first the plot, like spectators at a certain moment we are completely lost, until they reach the end of the thirteen chapters and have a global vision of the plot, this, that in it may seem a defect is the opposite, because when we finish watching the series, which we ourselves begin to connect all the data we had.

Two other aspects that stand out as notable, are on the one hand, care graphic aspect, which I consider a good direction, and the soundtrack. As for the visuals, with certain moments in which the number is closer to the video creation that cinematic concept, separates the two realities that are experienced in the series. Also include the images in terms of careful composition, something, perhaps appreciably less now, but at the time to leave me quite marked, with an aesthetic, clean and balanced on one hand and yet another confusing and noisy, which mixing will happen gradually as chapters, to make us understand the message of the series.

As for the soundtrack included the great work, not only for excellence in electronic issues, if not in the small details that sound throughout the series will permeate the small moments in this world, near future, where technology and connection dominates everything. As I said before, this is more normal now, at the time of his 1998 performance, it was more a theory than a reality. Even with the passage of time, I think to do this series is a great investment, and after thirteen chapters, we'll stay, safe, wanting to know more.

Francesca Woodman

Self-portrait "Untitled"
Francesca Woodman

In the line of authors who one way or another have come to the idea of ​​fear, we have to Francesca Woodman, a photographer known for having a very personal representation of what can be understood by inner fears, namely the fear that this photographer offers us is an internalized fear and seeks to make relevant staff across the image, is both intimate fear, since she is the protagonist of his images, and these were not intended for exhibition, it is more a detailed catalog of personal fears has been designed as a visual diary.

"Untitled"
Francesca Woodman

Here I present a brief biography of this interesting and creative and a few images that I consider a little bit will be asked about our own fears.

Francesca Woodman was born on April 3, 1958 in Denver (Colorado). Born into an artistic family, his parents received his early influences into art, so that, from small, conceptualized not only as a way of life, but rather as a way of thinking.

"Untitled"
Francesca Woodman

Francesca's childhood was spent in a Colorado town and a village in the Tuscan countryside frequented by artists and exponents of the high society of Florence. His interest in photography arose very early, with only 13 years, began with his early work, and adopting a characteristic style, almost always black and white photographs, square format, giving priority to lighting, to through it, get to focus on one main subject (and usually only one) in the scene.

"Untitled"
Francesca Woodman

Between 1975 and 1979 he studied at the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, and was accepted into the Honors Program that allowed him to live for a year in school facilities in Palazzo Cenci in Rome. There was identified with Surrealism and Futurism, which has since gained a presence in his photographs, as well as the decline, represented in the bare walls and ancient artifacts also began to populate his work.

"Untitled"
Francesca Woodman

He moved to New York in 1979, where he wanted to make photographic career. Portfolios sent some fashion photographers, but their efforts were rewarded. Due to its failure and a broken sentimental, Woodman enters a depression. On January 19, 1981 Francesca Woodman committed suicide by jumping out a window on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Before killing himself, in a letter to a school friend, Sloan Rankin, wrote the following words. "My life here is like a very old sediment in a cup of coffee and would rather die young leaving various accomplishments ... instead of going hastily erasing all these delicate things ...."

digital photography .... simplifying the process?

Detail Leica camera negative

The beginning digital photography, it was assumed, a more accessible way of photography, but in my opinion, nothing has changed, only the name of the process. It is something that most fans have a hard time adjusting to the idea, that is, at first, it seems that simply using a digital camera and post processing program, we have the full kit digital photography. Nothing is further from reality, because in order to obtain copies of certain quality, we have to relearn the whole process involved.

When the photograph was analog, we needed to know the negative and the developer, depending on the utility and final intention of the image, Today we are obliged to know the color profile of both the camera and the profile of output space of the image. At the time of positivism, we should know what type of developers we used, the type of light from the enlarger and the paper, apart from the obvious change of process and nomenclature, we must continue to control as much or more variables that before. It is now necessary for a quality copy, have calibrated your monitor and printer, the latter difficult if we have to print out, because in some places they are called professionals, or even bother to calibrate the plotter.

Persona eliminada de

una fotografia soviética.

Nor is it a retrograde technique, and I think this is important because it is how the end came the idea to the viewer. I must also say that digital photography has certainly simplified certain processes, such as retouching, understanding this as the multiple composition, the elimination of elements in the image, or clearing skin blemishes. While this has provided a clear way, it is true that especially in the beginning of these types of software has come to abuse of such effects. Is this, what is making gradually lose the uniqueness of its photo, and that today is very common that a person sees an image and before considering what is real is raised which will be retouched and which no. In fact laws have been proposed in several states to limit the retouching of images in advertising. This makes me wonder where it tends toward the photographic image, if it were to lose that aura of reality that makes it unique and if you end the first theoretical reason and photography will again be an imitation of painting. Although the photographers, artists continue to explore the possibilities of reality, public opinion is increasingly further from this line.

Peng Zhang a dark look of innocence

Zhang Peng is a Chinese maker born in 1981, currently lives and works in Beijing. His work is very personal and it shows that it is the beginning was inspired to paint more for other forms of expression. Later he began to develop his photographic work. Heir to the Japanese animation cut more than Chinese, their images do not leave any viewer indifferent.

It's that mix between innocence and melancholy drama that attracts attention is the images that we proposed. As girls and models commonly used by digital retouching makes it resemble characters more worthy of a comic manga a real person, it is this disparity, the subject that we can use their models to see more like fragile dolls as human beings makes this author has gained some notoriety, especially in the East and America.

Another of the highlights of the images of Zhang Peng, the color at a time like the present where the image tends to become less devices and for cold tones, in a way away from the viewer and thus give an external perspective, this author is supported by great contrasts, both in form and color, being very important in his works the red and white. These colors are often stained the spaces where they develop scenes, scenes that print compositionally relaxed but stress through the action.

Another form of fear, perhaps arguably more heirs of certain cinematic clichés, such as corn Boys, Damian and The Village of the Damned. Yet it seems to me interesting to transfer these lines of argument to the world of photography, we can consider half brother of the film, this seems another example of feedback between the different forms of creative expression.

Prezít svuj zivot (teorie a praxe) - Surviving Life (Theory and Practice)

Original movie poster

Today, after the weekend came with renewed energy after this brief but intense break, I want to share a movie which I at least I thought it deserves a mention.

The film to which I refer is as you have guessed from the title "Surviving Life (Theory and Practice)" the film is a comedy psychoanalyst as well says the author, co-produced between the Czech Republic and Slovakia, the plot Evzen tells the story of a married man who one night dreams that flirts with a girl named Eve. The dream turned into an obsession, Evzen is led to visit a psychiatrist and then starts an amalgam of universes: memories of childhood that develops in therapy, living with his wife and his recurring dream in which his Eva romance progresses. Nominated for best animated feature at the festival in Sitges the tape features a visual aesthetic, close as many of surrealism, I personally think closest to the given, in a manner similar to some of the animations of the Monty Pithon.

It is certainly a film that will not leave indifferent, and a movie recommendation, which can be surprised by the riskiness of the conduct and history, of course a very acceptable recommendation and not say one way to start discovering these little gems often are not of European cinema.

influences, we all have

Arriving at the weekend and curious, this network of networks, and tried to be a bit informed about what happens to the world of photography, I have been visiting the page Photoespaña, has been then when I had a moment of reflection, cultivating that came throughout the day, about how much, we make influences. This is not to disparage anyone's work is just an idea to take blueprints and on time today, I've seen some interesting images. 

"Bird Woman"

Joel Peter Witkin

"Violin of Ingres"

Man Ray

To continue the line of the previous publication, return on Witkin's images, the author of which I have spoken before and which, it might be somewhat less influenced by other works. But if we look closely at some of the images we can see how the different influences have also marked some of these photographs, always with the personal touch of shots taken by Witkin, but this image bird Women such, we can see a clear influence of the photograph taken by Man Ray in 1924 Violin of Ingres.

"The stairs" Aleksandr Ródchenko

For me all influence is positive, and somewhat encouraging, because as I said in previous lines, we are all influenced, that is why my visit to the portfolio, the photographer Carlos Pineda, I found very interesting to meet with a clear picture influence of Russian constructivism, more specifically with images of Rodchenko, and this is something that has raised a doubt be the art of photography or different from the rest of society, which cyclically, repeated again and again same patterns, or conversely, can be a creative force, which even aware of the achievements, to put aside internal disputes and continue to advance

fear..... phobos III

Continuing with the previous entries presented to the last three photographers who in my opinion is based on fear influence your work. The next author, Joel Peter Witkin, you could define aesthetically and bizarre, his work marked by different cut enough pictorial influences, is a catalog of horror, of human horror, as they were and remain the Freak Show. Witkin's aesthetic is an aesthetic that

The kiss (Joel Peter Witkin)

 seeks to offend the audience, seeks to reach him through impact, but also shows us different realities, between the macabre and the surreal, dreamlike realities of this author have a strong aesthetic sense , while in his portraits more accessible, presents us with bodies visible marks of the autopsy, in their most creative images we can see members, and even severed heads. Are these issues, not without a certain morbidity, which presents yet poses a reflection on the image, the image and sense of self, while the opposite has opposite charges seeking perfection. 

It is through this oposion to royalties where the author throws us that fear, accompanied by an aesthetic that makes us ask ourselves about the sample's image, and not only our physical image, if not moral image, or more transcendental. Is this question more than the aesthetics of his images that to us as viewers we face both the fear of looking at ourselves and also the challenge of seeing what we find.

Photography from the series

Sniper Shot (Nobuyoshi Araki)

The following authors, we moved to the Pacific, more specifically to Japan. Nobuyoshi Araki, the creator, heir to the Eastern culture, we also proposed the idea of ​​fear through your images within images Araki, not without some controversy, we can see certain shades of fetishism, where such images is played between sexuality and the bizarre, give us a sample court primal fear of social and Araki seeks to convey, because beyond the image itself, we see the oppression and restriction that the Japanese lifestyle imposes on its people within the system, on the other hand, the vision should also be noted that this author tells us of double standards imposed on Japanese culture, and that in the globalized world begins to spread. Are the images of Araki which offer us a calm analysis of this type of social fears, with the models still at what surrounds them, tied up and half naked, the viewer also intended to undress before the multitude of social fears that surround him.

Exchange ( Andreas Gursky)

Finally and to conclude with the most influential authors in the project, speaking of Andreas Gursky, although this author may clash aesthetically with the aforementioned, I consider his work as an anthropologist remarkable society, and therefore of social fear. That's why I think that Gursky, in his documentary work moves the viewer to a conclusion that somehow make this be nullified as an individual and the social as fear, is that since the world is so globalized society we imposed. That is, for the superiority of the mass, the highlight of this somehow, but this author through his work objectively, makes us to consider the realities of the individual differentiation, in a world where the individual standardized have increasingly less value as a person, contrary to what the system enacted, Gursky shows as small cogs in the great social network. It is this fear that the single mass is dissolved with what may be perhaps that this author, a radically different style and design with the above, the idea of ​​fear on which it intends to work.

fear..... phobos II

The Pond - Moonlight

(Mamaroneck, Nueva York)

Continuing with the previous publication. I focus on the influence of different authors, this time in the photographic field. fear as a point of view of the photographic image has been treated as in literature, painting and other arts in different ways, firstly the first photographers, fans pictorialists currents are more anchored in some way more pictorial image, the painting itself, which leads them to inherit is in some ways romantic spirit, understood as the dominant artistic movement in painting before, and aesthetic for your images, this aesthetic is accompanied by poor technical means the time that makes us go back in a certain way to a gloomier picture.

Magazine (Miroslav Tichy)

On the other hand and although I could stop in countless photographers at one time or another in their lives have spoken of fear, one way or another, I decided to focus on five authors who are for me, which is along the career have analyzed some form of fear, one way or another. Miroslav Tichy, for example, that apaerte of his strange and controversial life. in his works we can see how this author, also beams its method of work and the chosen themes, portraying the different realities of their environment, as a silent voayeur, we monitored and observed, and it is this fear of being discovered as we can see in the different images presented to us, that is, puts us at the point of view of the hunter, in the human environment. But what I think is even more interesting is the view as hunters which in turn causes us to reflect and point of view of the prisoner, and so we can come to consider ourselves a dam within the society in which we live.

TV lovers
(Jan Saudek)

Jan Saudek, another author that even though not with the idea of ​​fear as an end, his work if it gives off a certain aura dismal truth is that it relies on a technique, and a very personal, but it is by these means, and manages to convey the atmosphere charged with unreal tones, Saudek fear is innermost fear is almost an introspective look at our own fears. so, by this observation of ourselves, from which arises all that oppressive atmosphere that accompanies all of this photographer.

fear..... phobos I

Detail of Hell The Garden of Earthly Delights.

Fear as a subject of artistic creation has been used throughout the history of art from the earliest representations of the most primitive gods, which had its antagonist, to more current artists have focused if I work on this idea of fear if it is true that in some cases, more fear nearest cinema or freak show. Some of the most recognized authors who have dealt with fear, and have exercised an influence in some ways the picture, we find from the Middle Ages, is the case of Bosch, Jeroen van Anthoniszoon Aeken, sixteenth-century Dutch painter , where one of his most famous works, The Garden of Earthly Delights is heaven, purgatory and infer, and where within the last two predominant expression of fear, resulting in a triptych, which some define as Dante while it is true that the divine Comedy would be written some years later.

Another plastic authors to include in my previous scene photo to the invention is Piranesi, Giovanni Battista Piranesi Roman architect and writer, who during the eighteenth century, conducted a series of works, which can already be seen certain features of a primitive social fears, which with the advent of photography and the "liberation" of painting will also happen in the vanguard. It is necessary to name this period of the avant-known paintings like The Scream Edvuard Munch expressionist painter, in which the social context, which then begins to experience the psychology of Freud. takes us back to a much more social fears, fears that a primary, that is the expression of fear begins to evolve, separated by fears aside, but the primary self-imposed by society, so as to emerge, thanks to two streams of psychology at the time to understand the fear.

fact and fiction ..... the two side of the photography

"Milk" - Jeff Wall 1984

It is always difficult to talk about what you think and why does what, at least for me is difficult. That's why I think to start the blog about my project I must raise a reflection on what is photography, I do not intend to do a tedious discussion this style of great authors. Just trying to organize what to me is photography, which attracts me and keeps me from this medium and I love him and sometimes I get to hate it.

This analysis faster than it is for me photography I have chosen the image of Jeff Wall, which is to my mind, one of the photographers who personally influenced me most, but not for his great works, not their images, but rather by the duality impunity with which presents his work. It is a theorist among creators, is a creator among theorists, but not only that, the duality that this man poses goes beyond the theory and practice, duality is an aesthetic and technical, is an intellectual duality.

These dualities are what make your pictures as unique as they are few who pose absolutely everything, even knowing they are able to abstract from the influences and take a new approach, dualities like recreating a scene more typical of snapshot, which a decision made ​​with large format, or ignored aesthetics, thus creating an aesthetic sense of its own that comes complete with the semantics of the message.

So is photography, an elusive lover between reality and fiction, reality,because the lens, cold and calculating, is able to grasp realities that we are not able to contemplate, fiction, plots showed only one alleged fact . But we are not cynics Who is not fascinated by a good photograph?
