Roger Ballen – The dark side of the mind

Roger Ballen’s photographs are not easily described with words. After all, the same author stated: “Photography has nothing to do with words. My job is to organize visual relationships. “And he warns slyly:” If my images make you uncomfortable, you should understand why. Maybe they touched something deep inside you. That is not my problem, but it could be your problem”.

Street view – The meta-photography by Michael Wolf

Street view – The meta-photography by Michael Wolf

In Street View – as in the other works of the macro-series “Life in cities” – there’s a striking conscious lightness with which Wolf frames very heavy themes, thanks to a deep awareness of the medium that leads him to undertake courageous and unconventional solutions. The taste for irony and the freedom to experiment are for Wolf the Socratic artifices towards a curious and irreverent exploration of new horizons of photography meant as a tool for reading the present

David McEnery – Humour, please!

The taste of the paradox, the sense of irony, the ability to grasp the unintentionally ridiculous situations of everyday life: the inimitable English humor, which invites a smile with a slight detachment, almost as if the absurd were part of normalcy. The English photographer David McEnery (1936-2002) has interpreted this spirit in a wonderful way, with a special grace: his photographs are masterpieces of irony, often of comedy. Some small gags for images.
