I’m not the biggest fan of “fashion” photography. Having said that, some of Kurt Stallaert’s work (under “Fashionised”) is quite nice, especially the b/w stuff.

Heli Rekula’s subject matter “is often the female body and women’s different roles, women both collectively and as individuals. Frequent themes include innocence and the loss of innocence, purity and impurity, and the boundaries between. Rekula views people as cultured animals. She questions the impact of culture on natural sexuality and aggression.”

“[Idris] Khan creates multi-layered photographs, often of appropriated art and books, in a way that both augments the aura of the original and reveals the idiosyncratic trace of his own hand.” I guess I keep coming back to the issue of copyright? Or maybe not? In any case, this is your chance to see all Becher watertowers in one. As much as I like this, I have to note that Idris Khan’s approach was also used by Jason Salavon - this bit of information for those people who just hate to see something that they have seen before. There is a fine article by Geoff Dyer in The Guardian, which you don’t want to miss - regardless of what you think about Idirs Khan’s work.

“JH EngströmÂ’s Trying To Dance comprises a photojournalistic ‘diaryÂ’ of his life since 1990: landscapes, still-lives, self-portraits, and snapshots of friends become loosely narrative documents, recording not only the artistÂ’s individual experiences, but a sensitive and provocative engagement with the world at large. Using photographyÂ’s ability to capture the fleeting essence of a moment, EngstromÂ’s Untitled is delicately tinted, transferring specific time and place to the unfixed reference of memory.” (source)

A few people emailed me the link to Jacob Aue Sobol’s website and told me the Sabine project was quite nice. I’ll have to disagree with that, but even though I’m not one to follow the flock, mine might be a minority opinion (again), so have a peek and decide yourself.

“My project addresses how new towns like East Kilbride in Scotland were conceived as a one-stop solution for urban rejuvenation in the early 1950s. These centers were driven by modernist concepts in urban development and social planning. Unlike older urban developments, new towns offered defined social spaces where neighbourhoods were gridded to accommodate schools and shopping centres; where industries were clustered on the town’ edge estates; and where local road transportation systems were developed strategically around neighbourhoods to enable safer commuter transit.” - Sylvia Grace Borda. Also see the East Kilbride website.

Joan Fontcuberta’s art work explores the relationship between image and meaning on a very conceptual level. For example, in his most recent work Googlegrams “uses the popular internet search engine Google to create large, colorful photo-mosaics that construct an elegant metaphor for the internet-era’s liaisons between mass media and our collective consciousness.” (source)

Marina Gadonneix’ work deals with “l’observation du monde quotidien dans sa construction et sa mise en scène, faire du monde familier dans lequel on vit le lieu de l’artifice, avec sa part d’inquiétude, d’étrangeté et de mélancolie” - (loosely translated) the constructed world and the consequences arising from that. You can find more of her photos of television studios here and here.
