<i>I have been away from my blog ... since I started to work more on commercial photography I did not have time much to write , I am still look around to good photography and stay away from bad photography... and away from all the strange mentality which make people think Photography is a quite easy profession to do (just buy a camera and learn two/three things about photoshop and some social networking) .. Photography I like it will be always the one which stay alive for many years or forever (Look at the modernity of August Sander's portraits for example) and the photography I dont like will be always the one which proposed a surrogate of effects without a content...</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<i>You can still use the blog as reference... , I divided in category and perhaps some photographers I mentioned are still good ... My aim was never to discover only young photographers, it is a rush from many curators/bloggers into that... I do think that age is not an important issue , experiencing is important as much as a "fresh" vision... is about content, culture you put in it...</i></div>

Here an extract from the text written by Svetlana Poleschuk :</div><div><em>Christmas, Strechannie, Summons of the spring, Palm Sunday, Easter and Funeral rites, St.George’s Day, Whitsunday, Midsummer, the Saviour, Zazhynki, Dazhynki, Dziady. Nowadays they are called folk holidays or rites and are even depicted in schoolbooks. In the units “Belarusian legends, myths, and stories” our ancestors are described to explain all nature and life phenomenon by the existence of living creatures – spirits. House, forest, and field had their spirits. Brownie mastered the house, wood-goblin mastered the forest, and mermaids mastered the river. Lightening is an enraged God, and stars are people’s soles. People worshipped stumps and stones, sun and thunder, animals and birds, plants and ponds; these were respected, afraid of and asked for help. Sometimes at schools and folk hobby groups the brightest rites are reconstructed to achieve better knowledge of traditions, just as the amateurs of medieval culture reconstruct knight tournaments. Examples of such rites installed are: Shrove-tide together with ceremonial burning of man of straw or Christmas walk of the dressed up mummers group singing Christmas songs and wishing people rich harvest asking presents for it. It’s also possible to take a great interest in Midsummer romanticism by once visiting the festival in the city park or by going to the country for a corporative party. Midsummer is the shortest night of the year when people search for the fern-flower, jump over the fire, sing and dance in a ring, twine wreaths, and foretell the fate. Perhaps these are all the options for the city inhabitant of Belarus of today to get acquainted with folk holidays. However in contrast to the knight culture, that remained in the past, folk or pagan traditions still exist in the villages. These traditions by some miracle survived seventy years of communist atheism that reorganized all the fields of people’s everyday life. Peasants continue bringing home birch twigs on Whitsunday, they do not send the herd to pasture before St. George’s Day, and do not eat apples before the Savior, or leave an unreaped sheaf in the field binding the ears in so called “beard”, they do not go to the forest and do not bathe during the “mermaid week”. One should at least once face with such peasant’s way of thinking, to which many unusual restrictions and rules are appeared to be important, to understand that the school material concerning our ancestry do not resemble folk tales any more.</em></div><br class="final-break" style="clear: both;" />Daniele Mattiolihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09894309838405458202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357326551194737045.post-7381458800824981752010-12-27T10:28:00.000+08:002010-12-27T10:28:00.326+08:00Augenblick , Profile : Hua Weicheng<p style="clear: both"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1cZG-gbmLXmkbZVUfqD4-dZiP5i9TyPwHgiz526hszR0KU-Yh41fp8xV4U1Vu-_OcNP56uPvP7E5-hBykkv4wPGw8nChc4UwtytfV0s0eelGHtku6MrKKxE3TgpqgweW-doH8UUJVgbF1/s800/pic1014158.jpg" class="image-link"><img class="linked-to-original" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfX3-SwxQwHk-tcmpqqeFS6c43GxOxjHDy6KZy8MdDnppIwYqqQ49VRkLdFLI-ZSMEQLJDmDXKV5XF7k2QJtdWDktiBHf1rhgHan2KrwrrOskCCt1UO8SzclLTnvDN26UISwGbBDlPpwr_/s800/pic1014158-thumb.jpg" height="380" align="left" width="380" style=" display: inline; float: left; margin: 0 10px 10px 0;" /></a><br style="clear: both" />I often see good project from one of the most interesting city in China , Chongqing, this time is from <a href="http://www.fotoyard.net/Photoshow_english/Myhome/Myindex.asp?Authorid=26158">Hua Weicheng</a> who has produced another Black and white project on the city .

After a period of silence I am getting back on track in writing and posting on my blog. It is a very busy<br />
time with work and I could not follow much photographers , books review and things to add. Indeed I am also agreed with one article (from another blog ) which describe the sort of inflation of photographers who decided to blog on photography and ... I am one of them... but the good thing is that at least I dont speak much of myself (and this can make it more interesting for a start) basically is not a "me me me" blog but mostly about people who are able to create their own language. Haven't say that... for this post I use one of my photo taken with my iphone...

Here a note from the Exhibition curated by Brian Wallis and independent curator Mark Sanders.<br />
<em>The Cuban Revolution of 1959 was one of the most spectacular political events of the twentieth century. A dramatic chapter in the Cold War, the improbable overthrow of the dictator Fulgenico Batista by a ragtag band of young Communist guerillas and intellectuals occurred just ninety miles from the United States. Tracing the movement from the triumphal entry of the rebels into Havana on January 1, 1959, to the abortive Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 and the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962, this exhibition shows the tremendous influence of photography in recording and encouraging the revolutionary movement in Cuba. Among the most outstanding works in this exhibition of rare vintage prints are Alberto Korda's famous portrait of Che Guevara titled "Heroic Guerrilla" and never-before-seen images of Che's death in Bolivia in 1967. The show features work from over thirty photographers, including important images of pre-Revolutionary Cuba in the 1950s by Constantino Arias as well as classic images by Henri Cartier-Bresson, Raúl Corrales, and Burt Glinn, among others. </em><em>Cuba in Revolution</em><em> explores everyday life in Cuba before and after the Revolution and considers the ways in which both Cuban and foreign photojournalists helped construct the image of the revolution abroad.</em></div><br class="final-break" style="clear: both;" />Daniele Mattiolihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09894309838405458202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357326551194737045.post-8668260864926359612010-09-15T08:46:00.001+08:002010-09-22T06:39:59.261+08:00Augenblick, Exhibition : Cosplay in China<div style="clear: both;"><a class="image-link" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP1v4LuqYHmHraV5uaQaRdZiE5YWhyphenhyphenjcPI742SAO-5LT39fFtIPc_F98t246WYsMhoIL5bnuRDYhfK_ezfPMBPDpEbc3vVEXskMmNdIjb68NTPVmOuqoYOgWLCDNvuL5mU6AfrGWU5shcf/s800/exhibition2.jpg"><img class="linked-to-original" height="260" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl7WfINyn1WwRTBf7B9wmz3He1zLTjSwL_xll6KCafouCzk7T_r3tysnPdREC_VK2zwQ-3sulvhBlxOv_I82S_cm3UMnzwPVdIl97yFMOqDLjAkAeG63s6_iLU8U6OxMNUx7RJB_Slascv/s800/exhibition2-thumb.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0 auto 10px; text-align: center;" width="380" /></a>Curator and Professor Gu Zheng has invited me to exhibit my portrait series on Chinese Cosplay together with <a href="http://www.zeng-han.com/">Zhen Han and Chang Hong</a> which they worked on an interesting project Called Soul Stealer that focus on the idea of adopting a costume in China and make a distinction between Old traditional Opera house and modern Cosplayer.

This project deals with exile and remembrance and shows a world in the way I saw it as a child. </i></div><br />

I know his works since some time and I am happy to share his work. Muge is a passage of what Chinese photography need to explore and fill up a gap of years of disclosure to what western photography produced after Diane Arbus or Robert Frank. If you happen to be in Italy you can visit his work which will be shown at the <a href="http://www.sifest.eu/">Sifest Photo Festival in Savignano</a> from the 10th of september while his photos are visible at Arles Photo Festival.</div><br class="final-break" style="clear: both;" />Daniele Mattiolihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09894309838405458202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357326551194737045.post-17642286863404777622010-07-26T17:42:00.001+08:002010-07-26T17:42:52.807+08:00Augenblick .

</div><div style="clear: both;">Brasilian photographer <a href="http://www.andrefranca.com/">André França</a> has developed a series called <a href="http://www.andrefranca.com/vanishing/vanishing1.html">"Vanishing"</a> in which he explore the disappearing beauty using dolls.I found it quite interesting , here some notes from the statement written by Alejandra Hernandez Munoz:</div><div style="clear: both;"> <em>To vanish means to disappear, to undergo a process of decaying or finishing. At first, I thought about what could promote or accelerate the corrosion or disintegration of a body: incineration, caustic lime, acid, bacteria, worms. But the bodies, immersed in a liquid texture, do not display any traces of chemical action or deterioration of matter. Therefore, the title of the work made me think of a brand of soap powder well known in Brazil, which promises in its ads to“eliminate all stains, even the most resistant, and make your clothes whiter than the brand most people buy.” In his sense, the series may be regarded as another artistic contribution to what I call “pop lineage of domestic hygiene”, founded in 1924 by Davis with Odol, made big in 1964 with Warhol’s boxes ofBrillo, and currently trivialized with the giveaway cans of Omo designed by Romero Britto. Nonetheless, differently from Odol or Brillo, here not only we see the image of the product Vanish, which could have produced the foam we see in the pictures, but the action is in present continuous tense, vanishing, a progressive, still uncompleted action supported by a narrative sequence of images of objects in a foamy medium.</em></div><br class="final-break" style="clear: both;" />Daniele Mattiolihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09894309838405458202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357326551194737045.post-85776065458128650652010-07-15T00:22:00.000+08:002010-07-15T00:22:36.062+08:00Augenblick , exhibition : Erwin Olaf at Forma in MIlan<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7pL6tuEAkwgvgLVtoAS5L5-W1lbRfIJaUlIrq2Bsz3Pxq4kOcDr23Sob-hgMuMweO8csJsuZiRqPYnEToRLERAtlC4of2MT6kBpYyUr8PxL5rMR4DekyEGdznUzT0CuJd8-ovss04GAcI/s1600/164455618-c9348851-aeb2-4e19-b961-0b181479b1cd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7pL6tuEAkwgvgLVtoAS5L5-W1lbRfIJaUlIrq2Bsz3Pxq4kOcDr23Sob-hgMuMweO8csJsuZiRqPYnEToRLERAtlC4of2MT6kBpYyUr8PxL5rMR4DekyEGdznUzT0CuJd8-ovss04GAcI/s400/164455618-c9348851-aeb2-4e19-b961-0b181479b1cd.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
