This source of imagery has proved fruitful for other artists, perhaps notably - <a href="http://mishka.lockandhenner.com/blog/?cat=37" target="_blank">Mishka Henner</a>, whose trawling of the site drew together images of prostitutes from around the world. </p> <p>Rafman’s series also features scenes of oblivious prositutes; however, it also includes many other scenarios of everyday life that provide an unsuspecting insight into what goes on when we believe no one is watching. As a result, we see sights that make us smile, confuse us and astound. The autonomy of the original ‘see-er’ and the unquestioned availability of such images to anyone with acess to the interenet, calls into question the never ending debates regarding privacy and surviellance. </p> <p>The more light-hearted images help to balance out some of those with more questionable content. We are forced to acknowledge that at the end of the day, these are images of everyday life, and everyday occurances that are going on all around us. Rafmans filtering of the extensive database of imagery allows us to share in the act of voyeur, viewing scenes from around the world through a filter of seeming disbelief at the knowledge of their origins. </p> <p>To see more from John Rafmans series: <a href="http://9-eyes.com/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://9-eyes.com/" target="_blank"><a href="http://9-eyes.com/" target="_blank">http://9-eyes.com/</a></a></p></blockquote>http://blog.sarameloni.com/post/18004808090http://blog.sarameloni.com/post/18004808090Tue, 21 Feb 2012 11:32:09 +0100<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzcrtiH9HK1qzaj73o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><i>Coming soon</i></p>http://blog.sarameloni.com/post/17571402243http://blog.sarameloni.com/post/17571402243Mon, 13 Feb 2012 23:29:42 +0100psychoblizzardsnow• World Press Photo | “Ogni limite ha una pazienza” •: «Una fabbrica di stereotipi fotografici che...http://blog.sarameloni.com/post/17546942898http://blog.sarameloni.com/post/17546942898Mon, 13 Feb 2012 11:58:23 +0100world press photo<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz8u934l7p1qzaj73o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><i>Random movie about <font color="#000">snow</font></i><br/> do you recognize them?</p>http://blog.sarameloni.com/post/17440029514http://blog.sarameloni.com/post/17440029514Sat, 11 Feb 2012 20:31:50 +0100zombiesnowmovie<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyrtqrLj4L1qzaj73o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyrtqrLj4L1qzaj73o2_500.png"/><br/> <br/><p><font color="#000"><i>all white</i></font></p>http://blog.sarameloni.com/post/16920812445http://blog.sarameloni.com/post/16920812445Thu, 02 Feb 2012 16:01:38 +0100<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxzzaqIWCx1qzaj73o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><i><font color="#000">la solitudine delle cose</font></i> 2012<br/>Biblioteca Oliveriana, Pesaro</p>http://blog.sarameloni.com/post/16061190225http://blog.sarameloni.com/post/16061190225Wed, 18 Jan 2012 15:08:50 +0100<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxuszgNSpt1qzaj73o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Orecchiette</p>http://blog.sarameloni.com/post/15897034177http://blog.sarameloni.com/post/15897034177Sun, 15 Jan 2012 20:04:27 +0100<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxe0pgG5uU1qeaj3jo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><i><font color="#000">The World’s First Digital Camera by Kodak and Steve Sasson</font></i></p>http://blog.sarameloni.com/post/15446598495http://blog.sarameloni.com/post/15446598495Sat, 07 Jan 2012 11:14:31 +0100<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx7mmwqtse1qz6f9yo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://polaboy.de" target="_blank">Polaboy</a></p>http://blog.sarameloni.com/post/15234867412http://blog.sarameloni.com/post/15234867412Tue, 03 Jan 2012 10:18:33 +0100<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luvriroV861r1ye9io1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luvriroV861r1ye9io2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luvriroV861r1ye9io3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a href="http://blotbook.tumblr.com/post/12986351251/c-all-images-brandt-m-2010-matthew-brandt" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank">blotbook</a>:</p> <blockquote><p><span> </span></p> <p>© All images - Brandt M., 2010</p> <p><strong>Matthew Brandt continues his experimentation in photography with recent project - ‘Lakes and Reservoirs.’</strong></p> <p>The premise underwhich this project functions, acts to juxtapose the ‘real’ and what we see. Brandt has carefully controlled and created a unique method of production which has allowed the creation of a series of intriguing and engaging images.</p> <p>We perhaps first notice the prominence of degredation within the images, which through the striking colours produced creates a certain level of aesthetic enticement. Looking further into the images we see the meticulous approach to composition Brandt has taken with each location. Beautiful lakes and mountain scapes fall in and out of frame in accordance to the classic rule of thirds, and other such ‘classic’ composition techniques.Nevertheless in the treatment of the C-Print afterwards, these images are quickly transported away from the typical glossy-calendar-scene image.</p> <p>To create these effects, the photographer collected water from each lake or reservoir he photographed. Which was then used to soak the print for a given period of time - the effects of which we can see in the images above. It is the specific process that enhances a visual interaction between notions of representation and the real, the location itself and what we are shown. </p> <p><em>‘They are circumstances of a Lakes’ image that meets its real substance.’ </em> M.

These images are made without a camera, by cultivating bacteria on the gelatin surface of the negatives, using a similar process as the one used in laboratories to grow bacteria on agar in petri dishes. With this work I want to raise questions about representation and reality; the nature and the place of photographic medium in contemporary society. I have gathered the bacteria samples from my own body. The bacteria consumed the film surface producing photographic images that are entirely created by a chance. I have been removed from the process but, at the same time, the images are a product of my body; self-portraits.»<br/><a href="http://www.ernoraitanen.com/pdf/Bacteriograms_Erno-Erik_Raitanen_Statement.pdf" target="_blank">continue reading</a></p>http://blog.sarameloni.com/post/13926310160http://blog.sarameloni.com/post/13926310160Thu, 08 Dec 2011 18:35:43 +0100
