This is my last post during this weeks guest-blogging on Der Greif. Thank you all, it was a pleasure! The mission of Folsom Street Events is to create world-class leather and fetish events that unite adult alternative lifestyle communities with safe venues for self-expression and exciting entertainment.

with Luigi Vitali

»All photographs are memento mori. To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s (or thing’s) mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time’s relentless melt. “The photographer is an armed version of the solitary walker reconnoitering, stalking, cruising the urban inferno, the voyeuristic stroller who discovers the city as a landscape of voluptuous extremes. Adept of the joys of watching, connoisseur of empathy, the flâneur finds the world ‘picturesque.«

― Susan Sontag, On Photography

Israel-Palestine is the unknown land.

With whom [do] the adherents of historicism actually empathize[?] The answer is inevitable: with the victor. And all rulers are the heirs of those who conquered before them. Hence, empathy with the victor invariably benefits the rulers. Historical materialists know what that means. Whoever has emerged victorious participates to this day in the triumphal procession in which the present rulers step over those who are lying prostrate. According to traditional practice, the spoils are carried along in the procession. They are called cultural treasures, and a historical materialist views them with cautious detachment. For without exception the cultural treasures he surveys have an origin which he cannot contemplate without horror. They owe their existence not only to the efforts of the great minds and talents who have created them, but also to the anonymous toil of their contemporaries. There is no document of civilization which is not at the same time a document of barbarism.

— Walter Benjamin (‘Theses on the Philosophy of History’, p. 258)

People in their private space

If you walk the streets by night, I always wonder about the story behind the enlightened windows. I am doing this work for the last 5 years, searching for the stories of untitled people. To see the whole gallery, just click on the image.

As promised, I present you now the analogue pictures of my »portrait a day« project. These are Hanne, Lise and Odiel. To flick through the gallery, just klick on the picture.
They are made with a lubitel 6×6 film. I love photographing with an analog camera much more. They force me to look better and work slower. I hope you all like them.

Wie bereits angekündigt, kommt nachträglich noch der letzte Post von unserer ersten Bloggerin Joke de Wilde mit analogen Portraits. Danke, Joke! Außerdem eine kurze Nachricht zu Lea Golda Holterman: Lea hatte bisher mit technischen Problemen zu kämpfen, deswegen habt ihr von ihr bisher noch nichts gehört. Das wird sich allerdings spätestens morgen ändern.



Diese Woche präsentieren wir euch Lea Golda Holterman. Die Fotografin, die ihre Zeit zwischen Jerusalem und Berlin teilt, wurde 1976 in Tel Aviv geboren. Sie hat verschiedene Preise gewonnen und ihre Arbeit wurde bei Einzel- und Gruppenausstellungen in Tel Aviv, Wien, LA, Berlin und Amsterdam gezeigt. Herzlich willkommen, Lea! Wir freuen uns sehr, Deinen Blog für die nächsten 7 Tage zu lesen!



Im Portrait zeigen wir diese Woche die Serie »Orthodox Eros« von Lea Golda Holterman. Ein Bild aus der Serie ist in der aktuellen Ausgabe vom Greif zu sehen, Ausschnitte aus der Serie wurden bis Ende Januar in der Kunsthalle in Wien in der Ausstellung »No Fashion, please!« gezeigt. Lea wird außerdem unsere zweite Guest-Bloggerin für die kommenden 7 Tage.

My dearest Der Greif readers,

This is my last day. Normally I’d post the analog versions of the pictures, but they are still in the shop for developement. I hope I’ve interested you these days with my project »a portrait a day«. I truly hope you’ve all enjoyed it as I did. It was a great experience.

I would like to say, normally I would have portrayed Isabelle Pateer and Liv Vaisberg. By circumstances I didn’t have the time to do it. I would recommend checking out Isabelle Pateer, one of the most respected photographers of Belgium/Netherlands. She made a series on an abandoned village in Belgium. She has a very soft way of portraying people. I spent a day working with her. And really, the way she takes a picture, you can tell she is one of the most talented and dedicated photographers I know. I wish her all the best.

And then we have Liv Vaisberg. Liv is the direcor of Ponyhof Gallery (because I do not ALWAYS want to talk about photography). Ponyhof gallery is a pop-up gallery with an online vitrine that works with painters. Liv has a very open way of looking at art, she always welcomes new artists and is always looking for new fresh talents. Some of the paintings really inspire me, so take a look at :

And as if it wouldn’t be enough yet, Liv is also a photographer.

I hope I can show you my analoge series. If so, it will appear here in about a week.
Hope you all enjoyed it. And I’m looking forward to seeing the other bloggers. I wish them all the fun I had.

Thanks for reading/looking.

Love,

Joke.
