Body Opponent Bag For Sale In Canada

the foundation Maphre

fuente: el pais.
Yesterday I was with a friend for a drink by Azca and we have a walk around the Picasso Tower. By chance we have entered the Fashion shoping and I have looked into whether there was something in the room Maphre. And surprise! there was something: An exhibition of Fazal Sheikh, the truth is that you do not know anything, but the photo of the entrance attracted. I have proposed to enter and he said: "This seems an exhibition of photos of sad places." I do not think he wanted to see the typical pictures of malnourished children dying in the countryside, people maimed, etc. we are what we tend to view the media. In any case we actually input and an exposition of "sad places, but there was no picture of the typical. If you see the show and not read the drop of the exhibition (it is advisable to see the exhibition with him in the hand, although I have not done) do not see any misfortune, but if you look calm expression of the portraits you can imagine. If you read it, you realize that behind every picture there is a person who tells a story, a story that is not his own, it is also their relatives, neighbors or fellow citizens, but it is very sad.
but we do not get sad, and we will discuss the exhibition: This is the largest exhibition ever held American photographer Fazal Sheikh. Fazal Sheikh is the son of Pakistani father and American mother, who tries to document the conflict through the faces of his actors, giving voice to the voiceless through their portraits and telling stories of refugee camps, or day to day most disadvantaged parts of the third world. Perhaps because his grandfather was one of the Afghans who had fled their country due to the Soviet invasion in 1979.



is the biggest shows that I have set for this author, we have 150 pieces in white large format black and divided by areas / stories: Afghanistan, Somalia, India, Brazil. The one that most shocked me, "Ramadan Moon" Holland "which tells the story of a Somali refugee, who travels to the Netherlands after being raped and murdered some of his family in his country, but all told with the memories of the moon Ramadan in your country, you should read the history of the catalog. It also highlights a collection of portraits of mothers with their children.


In several rooms see several photos of the living conditions of these countries, shown with great dignity, but above all included portraits. In the central hall is a mosaic of portraits that reminds me to that in the statement of Castro prieto I have also visited.








In short, a highly recommended show to see the work of this author, and to understand under what conditions they are living people in the third world, they do have a crisis harder than ours and more durable. At the end of the day we eat every day. And especially for those who do not understand why they come to our countries many Africans risking their lives on rafts to bad life here.

How Can I Tell When My Period Is Done

Show Miroslav Tichy


Photo taken from the country.

few days ago I went to see this exhibition in the new area of \u200b\u200bIvory Press and the truth is that both the exhibition and the place I was very impressed.
The exhibition hall is very spacious, very comfortable and works of art "stable" that make it enjoyable. At the top is the library, which is very small, but has many photo books and architecture.
But what I want to say now is the exhibition of Miroslav tchiky: AWESOME! a discovery, the penalty is ending on April 15th and you can not go see it ... Along
exposure was projected a video of an interview I loved it, because you can get an idea of \u200b\u200bthe personality of tchiky. It had things in her life, and showed the cave where he lives, full of garbage and surrounded by the photos that have been rescued. The video tells how he made the following objectives: took a piece of plexiglass and cut it to size I needed and then ash toothpaste and polished it until an objective "right." It also has built as a shutter curtain was very curious obtración mechanism, as it was a rubber band being stretched more or less forced open more or less the passage of light. The video
also shared philosophical thoughts algnas his life and his work, which is certainly not interested in anything. Initially going to be a painter, but explains that the photograph was passed by two things: that everything was painted, and that photography is painting with light , so it was devoted to taking pictures as a new form of parallel expression to painting. Both are dedicated to making pictures that are proposed to make 100 pictures a day, revealing photos and left lying around the house. Some were painted over, others framed with trash heaps. But almost all have one thing in common: they are stolen photos of women in her village, many of them half naked in the pool, and a morbid and voyeuristic air that make you special. I took some photos

with the PDA, the quality is bad enough, but what is important as the photos show is not technique, but the moment captured. I put 4 of them here:

In the first part of the room was a showcase with some of the cameras and targets was made, very curious. In the picture you can see a goal that was made from scrap materials.


In the main hall access your photos, as I said above almost all taken from a low viewpoint, I suppose because the camera's hidden in the waist, and capturing the women of her village: Photos a voyeur.

Some

pictures are painted on the back, silhouetting the female form, others are just dirty.


Some of them has bothered to make a framework but a framework made of waste materials: plastic pieces sewn, traces of cartons. painting watermarks on the edges that give a special appearance.


In summary, a highly recommended show and I did spend some time trying to think and act the photographer while making pictures. That if the technical quality was poor, did not worry about that. And I think also not worried about the artistic quality, it seems to me that his obsession were the women of her village, but this might not be saying, as it has become a kind of myth of contemporary art.

add a couple of videos from the presentation of the exhibition that I found on internet and some reference links:

Midnight Hot/unsensored

Peter Fucnh

I show the work of a photographer who did not know and I've found in Xatacafoto :







Looking to the naked eye these pictures appear normal, but what not strange that you all wear white? Or that all are nurses or doctors? Or that everyone has in hand a yellow? it is not coincidental, nor are actors. It is the work of a photographer named Peter Funch Danes.
The job is called Babel Tales , and is a series of photographs taken in New York of people walking. But the novelty is she has done thousands of pictures in the same corner and mounted are looking after the common elements using PS.
A highly recommended work.

" Sudek Josef (Kolín, Bohemia, 1896-Prague, 1976) made about the fifties, with special attention to their series in which urban-set with obsessive loyalty and from diverse angles the portrait of his adopted city (which earned him known as "the poet of Prague") - but also by looking at the more intimate side of their production, which make up the pictures taken on those dates from the window of his study and which envisions a sensitivity to the trivial or almost imperceptible that makes them cousins \u200b\u200bto Morandi and delicacy of oriental poetry. "
