Viralité du selfie, déplacements du portrait

Ne s’agit-il pas d’un mot anglais? Et “self” ne veut-il pas dire: “soi-même”? Traduction express: photo de soi, célébration du narcissisme, pouah! Sans compter que les selfies sont produits avec ces maudits smartphones qui nous empoisonnent la vie, et diffusés par ces réseaux sociaux qui sont le repaire des adorateurs du vaudou numérique.

Ces jugements agacés en disent plus sur leurs auteurs que sur les images elles-mêmes. 1.

Dappled Things: Pinkhassov on Instagram

We have known afternoons, and we live day after day for a great many days. This long experience of how days turn—how afternoon becomes late afternoon and late afternoon becomes night—informs any photographic work we do with natural light. The time of day at which the light is at its most glorious photographers call the golden hour: you’ve seen them toting cameras on street corners and in abandoned lots, coming at 5.30 pm or 6.30 or later, depending on the latitude and time of year. They wait for a certain intensity of shadow, for the yellow sunlight to spill just so, before it dies away into the night. But Gueorgui Pinkhassov (Russian, b. 1952, based in Paris) has done something more than wait: he has detected the golden hour in unexpected hours.
