towards another theory, 2009 - Images | Geoffrey H. Short

PHOTOGRAPHES REBELLES
Trop longtemps attendue, la photographie correspondant à l’avènement de la modernité artistique au Québec émerge enfin des ténèbres où elle était demeurée plongée depuis plus d’un demi-siècle. Cela, à travers les oeuvres en majorité inédites d’artistes qui comptent parmi les plus importants à avoir défendu une photographie créative à l’époque de la Grande Noirceur. Dans cette exposition virtuelle, nous verrons à quel point leurs réalisations bouleversent le regard photographique par l’affirmation d’un langage plastique qui lui est sien. Sera donc dévoilé l’arsenal des moyens esthétiques proposés par ces créateurs rebelles pour s’opposer aux clichés visant à la propagation de l’idéologie officielle et conservatrice de l'ère duplessiste. Depuis l’officine secrète de la chambre noire, jusqu’à leur dévoilement sur la place publique, de nombreux tirages originaux, expériences photographiques d’une inouïe diversité et films d’exception seront enfin révélés.
Berlin-based photographer and illustrator Lisa Rienermann created this unique font out of buildings and blue skies while studying at the University of Duisburg-Essen; it was awarded a certificate of typographic excellence by the Type Directors Club New York back in 2007. “It began with the ‘Q,’” she has explained . “I was in a kind of courtyard in Barcelona. I looked upward and saw houses, the blue sky and clouds. The more I looked, I saw that the houses formed a letter Q.” Click through for a better look at some of the letters.

I love old photos. I admit being a nosey photographer. As soon as I step into someone else’s house, I start sniffing for them. Most of us are fascinated by their retro look but to me, it’s imagining how people would feel and look like if they were to reenact them today… Two years ago, I decided to actually do this.

Dutch photographer Gerco de Ruijter recently got in touch with an extraordinary series of aerial photographs called Baumschule —some of which, he explains, were taken using a camera mounted on a fishing rod.
