ARTHUR TRESS: I AM A CAMERA. The Dream Collector: How Arthur Tress’ Images of Dreams & Nightmares Changed Photography. ©Arthur Tress Arthur Tress is a master storyteller who first gained recognition with his hauntingly beautiful book of images: The Dream Collector (Richmond, Westover 1972).
The book was a challenge to the photographic ethos of its time. The turbulent 1960s and 1970s were a golden age for photojournalists who were energized by war and social change. These photographers found their “truths” in soul deadening city streets and jungle front lines. But instead of roaming the streets trying to find a Cartier-Bresson serendipitous decisive moment, Tress began to manipulate scenes and stage pictures to create images that were both real and unreal. “It was a moment in my own artistic trajectory where I needed to move away from the prevalent documentary realism and street shooting of the late 60's into new areas of internal self exploration,” Tress says.

However, this photograph offers a rare glimpse of his investigations into pure abstraction. It is from his series Photographs from 'The Tao of Physics.' Inspired by his visualization of physical phenomena, Tress arranged found objects on textured backgrounds, such as cement, plastic, snow, and sand. He spray-painted these constructions to create layered patterns and then photographed the results.
Tress strived to “find rich symbolic meaning in pattern, not just merely the decorative, and its correlation to science and the search for the fabric of the universe” in these skillfully executed interpretations.

Arthur Tress. Arthur Tress was born in Brooklyn, NY in 1940.
He is one of the first photographers who abandoned mere street photographic style when documentary photography was the major trend in the field during the 1970’s. Tress’s theatrical and surreal style stages his sitter with found objects on site and has become a hallmark of his photography. The beginning of such style can be traced from his earliest works from when he was twelve years old. Tress spent hours with his Rolleicord in abandoned houses and decaying amusement parks around New York. After his graduation from Bard College in 1962, where he studied art history, world culture and philosophy, Tress spent six years traveling around the world documenting tribal people and their cultures as an ethnographic photographer.

Arthur Tress : un photographe inspiré par les cauchemars d'enfants - Le blog photo. Artists Represented. By Alex Novak. Arthur Tress (b. 1940) B. 1940 Arthur Tress Biography Arthur Tress is one of the most eminent, and consistently imaginative, photographers of his generation, which includes Duane Michals and Jerry Uelsmann. His style originated in the 1960s when surrealist, staged photography ruled. But Tress evolved a style all his own that is both dreamlike and formally composed out of contemporary subject matter. He takes everyday objects and subverts their function so that they become something of myth holding a quixotic, playful meaning. Cauchemars d'Enfants par Arthur Tress. Dans sa magnifique série « Dream Collector », le photographe américain Arthur Tress puise dans l’immense puissance émotionnelle présente dans nos rêves d’enfance et la transforme en une série de photographies surréalistes. Ce qui rend ces photographies, que Tress a capturé dans les années 1960 et 70, encore plus convaincantes est le fait qu’ils sont basés sur des cauchemars réels d’enfant. « Les rêves ou les cauchemars ont été recueillis par des conversations avec les enfants dans les écoles, les rues, les terrains de jeux de quartier.
Arthur Tress Photographe. Souvenirs d'Arthur Tress. Arthur Tress (auteur de Transréalités) Les rêves et cauchemars d'enfants mis en scène par Arthur Tress. Inquiétante intimité. Né à Brooklyn en 1940, Arthur Tress a fait ses armes photographiques à l’école de la rue: il commence avec la tristesse des banlieues au petit matin, la valse des papiers gras et des feuilles mortes avant l’afflux des passants, mais surtout avec l’ambiance surréaliste et cauchemardesque du parc d’attraction Luna Park de Coney Island à New York. Adolescent, il débute donc la photo en saisissant les grimaces figées des clowns en plastique, les allures d’instruments de torture que se donnent les nacelles des montagnes russes ou du train fantôme avant l’arrivée des enfants.
Tout est là. Même s’il diversifie ensuite ses pratiques, l’étrangeté qui a germé dans ses images sur les planches de Coney Island sera toujours présente en filigrane. Lui-même dira d’ailleurs s’adonner au « réalisme magique » en photographie.
