Pod spoločným názvom FATESCAPES / Osudové krajiny predstavuje autor po dlhšom čase zasa v Košiciach cyklus prác, ktoré tématizujú samotné médium fotografie a jej históriu na pozadí osudových chvíľ svetových dejín počas posledných dvoch storočí. V prácach Family of Man / Ľudská rodina a Instant inspirations / Okamžité nadýchnutie naväzuje na iné série týkajúce sa motívu autoportrétu, ktorý sprevádza jeho tvorbu od jej začiatku. V najznámejšej, ale doteraz v Košiciach nevystavovanej, sérii STARS pokračuje v kladení otázok o ľudskej identite, tentokrát v prostredí koncentračných táborov.Au Bord de la Marne
Although he would later be feted as the father of photojournalism, Henry Cartier-Bresson was at his best when he was taking photos which didn’t ‘report’ anything — men in Parisian streets, sunbathers whether they be at Peter and Paul fortress or Coney Island. At the first glance, the above picture — one of Cartier-Bresson’s most famous — seems exactly like it: languorous workers in Juvisny spending a lazy afternoon on the bank of River Marne. In fact, it was one of the photos Cartier-Bresson took during his first (and last) salaried job with the Parisian leftwing newspaper, Ce Soir in 1937. The assignment was for a campaign to win more vacation time for workers, and his editors hated the self-indulgent poses (picnic baskets, wines and all that) and the final spread on the story didn’t use the photo. The photo has been since been compared to paintings by Degas and Seurat.

Six photographs from the photo essay “The Lash of Success” and 13 other examples of Mr. Villet’s work can be found in a complementary post on Pixcetera . It also answers the question: what are his feet doing dangling over Fifth Avenue? I was 9 years old, living in a small town in south Florida, when I read Grey Villet’s “ Lash of Success ” in Life magazine — one of the very few extras my family could afford. The pages of Life were filled with images of President John F. Kennedy, the space program and rising stars of television.http://www.tylercacek.com/

Jonathan Wateridge | Fubiz™
Le Londonien Jonathan Wateridge expose dans une sélection de visuels ses peintures absolument incroyables. Ultra-réalistes, ses oeuvres cherchent à explorer les idées de groupe, d’identité et de capter des moments collectifs tout en interrogeant le spectacteur sur les détails.
Trop tôt, trop tard
Une sélection de photographies de Cartier-Bresson d’où a été enlevé tout ce qui relève du fameux «instant décisif». Le titre est emprunté à un film de Jean-Marie Straub et Danièle Huillet qui rapporte des faits historiques au seul moyen de longs travellings sur la route ou le paysage. Instaurant un autre rapport au temps, le résultat livre une lecture inédite de l’œuvre.
