два пляжных проекта
До лета осталось недолго - надо держаться. А пока два похожих проекта про пляжи. Схожий ракурс, один чуть строже в выборе случайных моделей - строго спящие люди, оба стараются быть предельно корректны в отношении этики уличной съёмки - закрытые лица (за исключением единичных фото).
Юлия Спиридонова - Exposure
К сожалению, никакого стейтмента. Плюс сама Юлия после смены фамилии на чуть более свежем сайте и вовсе решила не выставлять эту серию заново, но в интернете она пока осталась: http://cargocollective.com/juliabiserova/EXPOSURE.

Tadao Cern - Comfort Zone
"Real people - real stories.
While spending a weekend at the seaside, I've decided to visit a public beach that I haven't seen since I was a little boy. There I saw a possibility to recite a lot of stories only from looking at the things that people bring with them. I’ve got so inspired that I had to quit what I was doing at the time and indulge into a new project. I came back the very next week with all my equipment needed for a photoshoot.
I started this series because I was surprised how a certain place or surrounding can affect people's behavior. During our everyday life we attempt to hide our deficiencies, both physical and psychological. However, once we find ourselves on a beach - we forget about everything and start acting in an absolutely different manner. Is that because everyone else around you is doing the same? If yes, I would love that the same rules were applied beyond the borders of the beach - people would care less about what others may think about them. I believe that this in turn would show how different, interesting and beautiful we truly are. The deeper you dig, the greater possibilities arise. And the more you think - the more you question and ponder.
These photos are not staged and people did not suspect that they were photographed by me. I chose to capture images of sleeping vacationers because it accurately represents the name of the project ‘Comfort Zone’. It is only about the seaside, sunbathing and holiday somnolence that is free from a world surrounding you. I chose to showcase only the photos with hidden faces not by an accident, but to grant an observer with an opportunity to calmly scrutinize each and every detail without being distracted. It also helps to avoid empathy or connection between people in the photos and the observers. It really does not matter who they are - the details not only reveal their stories, but make us face ourselves as well.
My favorite piece is the one with the two ladies - it was my first shot and from the moment I saw it, I was convinced that I must finish this project no matter what. Even though the process was stressful and frustrating, today I can finally say that I am really happy with the end result that turned into a collection of 24 large scale prints. Images that can be seen on the internet is only a part of it and I hope that a chance will present itself for everyone to discover all of them during the exhibitions."

P.S. а ещё Юлия будет вести курс "Критика и практика новейшей фотографии: Case Study Program" в рамках ФотоДепартамента.
[Детали и ссылка.]"В процессе занятий студенты будут дополнять и систематизировать свои знания в области теории и дискурса фотографии последних 30 лет; мы будем разбирать примеры около-фотографических практик наиболее значимых художников. Метод Case Study позволит группе студентов одновременно с изучением теории проанализировать работы влиятельных авторов, что поможет приблизится к современному пониманию медиума. Мы рассмотрим культовые выставки фотографии, задавшие тон развития профессиональной среды, обратимся к истории возникновения основных игроков поля - музеев, галерей, фондов, журналов, - а также обсудим тенденции и стратегии их развития в настоящем. Курс будет совмещать несколько циклов лекций и семинаров. Участие в курсе предполагает знакомство с большим объемом критической литературы и видеоматериалов (преимущественно на английском языке), интенсивную самостоятельную работу.
Программа создана для практикующих фотографов, критиков и кураторов. Студентам будет предложено написание статей под редакцией преподавателя по предложенным темам с дальнейшей возможностью публикации."
