Ceylon-Manchester - Blog-Beitrag von Fotograf DEWFRAME / 09.05.2019 00:09

Seems the problem of "inheritance of history" is a key moment in the ability of modern* society to remove old prisms, understanding the feelings of different groups. It’s normal if you need the code to remember anyway. Now is now, and becomes to be the norm by its nature. Leaving the old toys, we begin to trust sincere estimates. What if the past is in your hands? Tell yourself what to do with it, because it’s a reason to empathize. Even to stay alone, but speak honestly.

"Ceylon-Manchester"

In frame: Emma

Inherited memories are depersonalized and retold. Having received huge pieces of the old, globally divided world, we unite it in our own way, trying to respect negations, although it was no easier than invent a new full-fledged legend. This is a distortion of the facts, and you know it. The perceived desire for interconnection through new events resumes in recompilations of past.

Do you notice that in the global context a second derivative of cultural appropriation has arisen? Logically developed model. First reason to make a separation. Could have a community way to begin converse from scratch? The "stairs" destroed. However, it is obvious to me where is no respect for any personal evolution of the participants the process turns into a game with new rules. In order to convince someone that the characters are not what they seem. What to do with them when the symbols do not even relate to each other?

Traveled path, reassessment and justification of certain decisions in the past. On the scales now all strategies, morals and relative judgments. The capricious changes in decades consists in the fundamental principle of historical justice. But explain this new sincerity, where the story calls to drop the whole past! Otherwise, despite the risks, the memories are not so important. It’s like preserving established boundaries — a tradition. The point is not in the accuracy of the lines, but in following the conviction that the line between peoples and worlds becomes conditional. Borders have less importance. Empathizing, we rise.

— When I read her those book…

A person who isn’t burdened with assessing the actions of his ancestors, but having the inherited symbols from the different times (with different reasons for their appearance) already transferring its modern actions to this surface. May I look a little… The accumulated experience confirms that your culture is involved in what is happening today.

Does history insure against errors? Controversial. Could someone to bear this on self, as a question that has no solid answer?

DEMIR

DEMIR - Blog-Beitrag von Fotograf Karl-Heinz Weege / 06.05.2019 11:31

Demir ist Hairstylist und Male-Model. Unser erstes Treffen war 2018 auf Schloss Hundisburg, wo diese Bildserie entstanden ist. Wir teilen inzwischen die Leidenschaft intensive Portraits, gern auch in Monochrom zu machen. Für mich ist es immer eine Herausforderung auch selbstbewusste Männer in Szene zu setzen, dominante Wesenszüge einzufangen.

TANZEN

TANZEN - Blog-Beitrag von Fotograf Mario von Oculario / 06.05.2019 11:30

Wir haben vergessen wer wir sind.

Sobald wir unbefangen auf unsere Kinder schauen erinnern wir uns, sehen neidisch zu und können es nicht fassen.

Lasst uns Kind sein.

Frei und unbeschwert.

Musik an und ab dafür.

Lasst uns tanzen.

Hidden Faces

Hidden Faces - Blog-Beitrag von Fotografin Astrid Susanna Schulz / 05.05.2019 19:49

The series "Hidden Faces" was inspired by my own (hobby-)model time. At that time (2012) it was very important to me to protect my identity when taking nudes. The world is becoming more convervative, images are spreading very quickly on the Internet. Nudity or Fine Art Nude Photography is not always considered art, but shameless or worse. Professional or private disadvantages can arise for people. That is why it is important to me to protect the identity of my models, especially because they are normal people and not professional nude models. As a photographer I approached nude photography in a playful way and used various "objects" to hide faces. Anonymous nude has a special appeal for me, because it is challenging to stage the naked person without revealing his oder her face.
