Archives - August 11, 2022 On the 100th anniversary of his birth, we pay tribute to Magnum photographer Erich Hartmann with a selection of his most iconic images. Erich Hartmann, who would have been 100 years old July 29, 2022 – was a quintessentially 20th-century photographer, both in the story of how he came to be an image maker, and in his pioneering of emerging practices. Born into a Jewish…

Klavdij Sluban: The Image Against Evidence There are photographers who show us the world. Klavdij Sluban belongs to that much rarer breed who question it. For him, photography does not document; it clarifies. It seeks neither proof nor spectacle, nor even the decisive moment. It moves against the tide of time, at a deliberately unhurried pace, until reality ceases to be an obvious fact and becomes a question. Born in…

Hegel’s image about the owl of Minerva (wisdom) only spreading its wings with the coming of dusk can be taken to mean that, after flapping its wings and flying off into an approaching darkness, an insight is left behind that will later come to light. Meaning emerges retrospectively, interpretation only comes into existence after the event, so there is no way of being sure how the present will be understood…

The work of Marlo Pascual, a prescient and thought-provoking American artist who stretched the boundaries of photography, is on view at the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA). Marlo Pascual: Making Something Out of Something, the first solo museum exhibition of Pascual's work in 15 years, introduces viewers to an artist who developed a practice of manipulating found images, creating works that blur the line between photography and sculpture. Pascual worked…

TBW Books announces the publication of Bell Pond, a new monograph by artist Stephen DiRado. Bell Pond documents the summer of 1983 at a public swimming pond in Worcester, Massachusetts, where DiRado spent months photographing the community that gathered there. Arriving one afternoon on a whim during an early heat wave, he introduced himself to anyone willing to pay attention—and kept coming back. Working with a large-format camera on a…

Archives - August 10, 2023 The Hulett Collection presents a newly available selection of images from Noell Oszvald's ongoing self-portrait series. While some have been published for a number of years, there are a few within that have never been made available until now.

Oldies but Goldies. Autoportrait en Polaroid. Nowadays, everybody realise 'Selfies' with his iphone to take souvenir photographes of his holidays. Myself, I realise since 1988 selfportraits in Polaroids (Image System) with a self-timer and a 10-second trigger. I am the photographer and my own model. www.dagmar-sippel.com

The Shadow of the Duende In this series of Flamenco portraits, light and shadow clash to reveal the truth of the body: the intensity of a gaze, the pinpoint precision of a gesture, the dramatic tension of the moment. My goal is to help you feel the inner power and raw poetry of these dancers, where the soul lays itself bare. The deliberate choice of high-contrast black and white has…

Common Matter “COMMON MATTER”, a photographic project by Sonia Fattori, explores the ancestral bond between humans and the natural environment. Using a combination of human portraits and natural landscapes, the project proposes a comparison between human and natural anatomy, highlighting what unites them. The photographic focus is on the very essence of matter and surface: from skin marked by the sun to the grooves of time on faces and stone;…

The Invisible Within Reach Every day we move through cities inhabited by thousands of lives. Faces, gestures, glances—individual existences crossing paths without ever truly meeting. Through familiarity, we stop looking. We recognize silhouettes before remembering that they are people. This series was born from that quiet observation. Throughout my walks, I sought those fleeting moments when a presence seems to fade away: a traveler lost in an empty station, a…
