La paradoja de la fealdad Preguntas fotográficas sobre la apariencia bella de lo feo o la fea apariencia de lo bello. The Paradox of Ugliness Photographic questions about the beautiful appearance of ugliness or the ugly appearance of beauty

Autor: Annelie, Franke

Número de Páginas: 384

¿Cómo nos vemos cuando salimos de la cama en la mañana o cuando estamos preparados para ir a dormir en la noche? ¿Cuando estamos recién levantados, también estamos recién restablecidos? ¿Por qué es tan mal visto retratar a alguien mientras come o bosteza? ¿Qué tan cerca es “demasiado cerca” para fotografiar algo? ¿Por qué resulta inaceptable que algo salga fuera de foco? ¿Por qué entonces nos borramos? Este libro se propone abordar estas y muchas más preguntas, tomando como base la paradoja entre la belleza y la fealdad. Mediante la fotografía se buscan los No estados y los No momentos de nuestra cotidianidad y se da una mirada a algunos de los componentes de nuestra cultura visual contemporánea. Este proyecto se mueve dentro de las borrosas fronteras de lo bello y lo feo, en un camino fotográfico que hace lo invisible visible y lo no presentable, literalmente, presentable.

Travel & See

Autor: Kobena Mercer

Número de Páginas: 384

Over the years, Kobena Mercer has critically illuminated the visual innovations of African American and black British artists. In Travel & See he presents a diasporic model of criticism that gives close attention to aesthetic strategies while tracing the shifting political and cultural contexts in which black visual art circulates. In eighteen essays, which cover the period from 1992 to 2012 and discuss such leading artists as Isaac Julien, Renée Green, Kerry James Marshall, and Yinka Shonibare, Mercer provides nothing less than a counternarrative of global contemporary art that reveals how the “dialogical principle” of cross-cultural interaction not only has transformed commonplace perceptions of blackness today but challenges us to rethink the entangled history of modernism as well.

Surrealism

Autor: Elza Adamowicz

Número de Páginas: 222

This collection of essays, inspired by André Breton's concept of the limites non-frontières of Surrealism, focuses on the crossings, intersections and margins of the surrealist movement rather than its divides and exclusion zones. Some of the essays originated as papers given at the colloquium 'Surrealism: Crossings/Frontiers' held at the Institute of Romance Studies, University of London, in November 2001. Surrealism is foregrounded as a trajectory rather than a fixed body of doctrines, radically challenging the notion of frontiers. The essays explore real and imaginary journeys, as well as the urban dérives of the surrealists and situationists. The concept of crossing, central to a reading of the dynamics at work in Surrealism, is explored in studies of the surrealist object, which eludes or elides genres, and explorations of the shifting sites of identity, as in the work of Joyce Mansour or André Masson. Surrealism's engagement with frontiers is further investigated through a number of revealing cases, such as a political reading of 1930s photography, the parodic rewriting of the popular 'locked room' mystery, or the surrealists' cavalier redrawing of the map of the world....

Graciela Iturbide's Mexico

Autor: Kristen Gresh

Número de Páginas: 240

The first book to focus on Graciela Iturbide's photographs of Mexico, capturing all of its beauties, rituals, challenges, and contradictions. Graciela Iturbide, best known for iconic photographs of indigenous women of Mexico, has engaged with her homeland as a subject for the past fifty years in images of great variety and depth. The intensely personal, lyrical photographs collected and interpreted in this book show that, for her, photography is a way of life - as well as a way of seeing and understanding Mexico, with all its beauties, rituals, challenges, and contradictions. The Mexico portrayed here is a country in constant transition, defined by tensions between urban and rural life, and indigenous and modern life. Iturbide's deep connection with her subjects - among them political protests, celebrations and rituals, desert landscapes, cities, places of burial - produces indelible images that encompass dreams, symbols, reality, and daily life. This volume presents more than a hundred beautifully reproduced black-and-white photographs, accompanied by illuminating essays inviting readers to share in Graciela Iturbide's personal artistic journey through the country she knows so...

Develar y detonar / Reveal and Detonate

Autor: Sergio Raúl Arroyo , Ana Casas Broda

Número de Páginas: 408

The images gathered in this volume function as a paranamic cartography of contemporary Mexico. The photographers have captured the complexity and diversity of the country, renewing our perceptions of it’s geographical and idiosyncrasy, and shuffling, breaking, or corrupting the models of national representation fostered by the modernity of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Reveal and Detonate is not simply a selection of names and authorial promise, but rather an assemblage of visions that help us to see the present from many angles. To reveal- to uncover, display, unveil, and expose what was concealed. To detonate- the shared semantic field of firearms and photography- the camera shoots, is fired like a gun. Reveal and detonate is a broad constellation of images – almost 200 by 53 different photographers – has not been put together in a methodical or linear way, but by visual groupings that form and break apart along the main axes of photography- landscape, portraiture, montage, and abstraction.
