SURREALISM...PHOTGRAPHIC SENSES

Photography is more than a still capture or a truth twice or thrice remove from reality.It has more life than the stillness it openly represents on first glance and breaths more than most would like to admit. Photography represent a tale that can only be told in loud silence and meditative plea. Once upon a time, cave men drew on walls to preserve the tales of their existence and civilization. Today we right books and letters, memoirs and diaries- and we take pictures. Selfies, groupies and the 'All about me Picture'. It goes beyond the moment and the time of its presentation. The ability of a photographer to see the truth behind the lies of delusions is more than artistry; I call it the 'Angelic eight sense'. Every man can take a picture, but not all are the truth just like all men talk but not all speak.

My fascination with photography is more in the silent tales, the coated truths- the naked lies and forgivable distortions that cream every work. Its in the volumes that sit in stillness yet flow with more motion than the wind.

“A picture is a secret about a secret, the more it tells you the less you know.” 

― Diane Arbus

Sylwana Zybura is a Polish-German linguist and image maker, whose adventurous spirit and visual style do real justice to her assumed pseudonym Madame Peripetie. Her work draws inspiration from surrealism, science fiction and the work of theatre director Bob Wilson. She has worked on and produced many editorials and fashion campaigns for clients such as Topshop, Hunger Magazine and several indie fashion labels. Madame Peripetie takes her work to another level as she pushes the limitations between fashion, sculpture, and the human anatomy. The name Peripetie means an unexpected occurrence or a sudden turn of events; she plays around with various elements around fashion and photography sampling high trends with art. Using conceptual approaches she fuses, Dadaist and surrealist notions whilst focusing on the body and the interaction between these aforementioned elements.

The surrealism art which Prepetie explores transcends from a movement that began in the 90s which forged for reuniting conscious and unconscious realms of experience so completely that the world of dream and fantasy would be joined to the everyday rational world in “an absolute reality, a surreality”

According to Nastia Voynovskaya, Madame Prepetie is expresses unconventional fashion photography. Though she works primarily as an art director and fashion photographer, Madame Peripetie approaches her subjects with an off-kilter aesthetic that evokes Man Ray’s photography and films like Luis Bunuel’s Un Chien Andalou (the infamous 1929 Surrealist movie where a woman’s eye is slit with a razor). Madame Peripetie’s approach, however, is more contemporary, if not futuristic. Her models are often embellished with technicolor props designed to look like extra-terrestrial armour. Rather than focusing on conventional beauty signifiers like pouty lips and sensually-exposed body parts, Peripetie goes beyond the limits of the human body to turn her subjects into otherworldly beings — club kids from outer space, or however else you want to conceptualize them. The images are open-ended enough to keep the viewer guessing.

In her words, “My world consists of many surreal and bizarre elements that keep coming back. I was never interested in depicting reality as it is – the escapism and interdisciplinary hybrid-thinking have always been fascinating me. Saturated colours and dark spaces, fabulous costumes, uncanny characters, quirky stories and unexplainable ideas– these are the elements that keep hypnotizing me whenever I plan a new photographic project. A tiny bit of mysteriousness and abstruseness is very important.”

Inspired by the ‘80s British post-punk scene and Robert Wilson (avant-garde theater), Madame Peripetie has a portfolio that is both mind blowing and work looking into.

Tina Patni is a fashion and beauty photographer residing in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Her photographs are filled with intense stories bordering on concepts between melancholy to the complete opposite. Her style can be considered to be vintage with a large influence of Romanticism with an aesthetically modern appeal.Tina’s photographs mostly depict models in ornate and intricate gowns with sometimes subtle or grungy settings.Tina describes photography as an art seen as paintings or illustrations. She believes that photographing people can be challenging but yet feels a sense of vulnerability, she feels vulnerable because she wants to depict compelling photographs while trying to keep her work simple and classic.  I want simple light, minimalist background; I want to see texture and a simple expression.

Tina takes her inspiration from just about anything and believes that creating a style is a key component to the evolution of one’s photographic journey. If you shoot enough, try different things, you will eventually figure out what you like, and what you want. Experiment, play and have fun! Keep your eyes open. Notice the things around you. Trust your eye and take pictures of things you love!

“All photographs are memento mori. To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s (or thing’s) mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time’s relentless melt.” 

― Susan Sontag

“To photograph people is to violate them, by seeing them as they never see themselves, by having knowledge of them that they can never have; it turns people into objects that can be symbolically possessed. Just as a camera is a sublimation of the gun, to photograph someone is a subliminal murder - a soft murder, appropriate to a sad, frightened time.” 

― Susan Sontag, On Photography

“A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.” 

― Ansel Adams

FREE THINKERS #3

Roll out the carpet cos' red just got as a new make over. Its vals in GREEN. lol.

Don't run yet, this was suppose to be a release way before now. But I have decided to walk back not to deny myself the simple pleases of this post. The expression in this picture and the resonating aura reads me a lullaby I would rather keep a secret...lol. For my unknowing only.

Bonjour,
ce ne est pas une note pour les masses , mais pour ceux qui sont prêts à chercher le sens de toutes choses visibles et invisibles . Ce ne est ni mon intention de faire pensées à partir de rien , mais alors , dans un tas de nonesense est un grain de bon sens .
 La femelle que vous voyez dans ces images a deemeed l'adapter à execrise ses droits comme un journal de vie . Le styliste peut être un fou ou sain d'esprit voix vous avez choisi .
Le libre penseur ne est pas un homme sain d'esprit ou une femme , non. Ce est un homme qui sait ce que les autres ne le font pas , un Mcqueen itinérance dans le placard de chaque homme ou probablement un D & G caracolant sur ​​le podium de la vie .
Je adore ce penseur libre, elle ne est ni ici ni là-bas ; elle est un mystérieux paquet de Delta , rubied dans les nuances de natures très propres .
Encore une fois , je apolgize à ceux qui peuvent et ne peuvent pas savoir jamais ce que cela signifie . mais alors , la connaissance ne est pas pour le sain, ce est pour les hommes fous qui recherchent des pièces audacieuses où les hommes sains d'esprit ne osent pas escavate .
Bonne nuit.

.....My apologise to those that do not understand...search for knowledge or enjoy the mystery...HAPI GREEN DAY.lol

VIVA LA MAMMA

Once again, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have rolled up a ray of living gardens with their new Autumn-Winter 2015-2016 Ready-to-Wear collection. With Cream, fur and beautiful rose embellished dresses, their collection themed Viva la Mamma paid due tribute to the bound of nature that resonates purity; the love of the mother and child. Every piece of fabric is created with the love of their homeland and a mother’s muse. Sicily was duly depicted with the Sicilian lace that was used to make some of the pieces as well as the flowery depictions. The colours also are bright and playful and the playful art prints makes the tribute to mother and child even more vibrant. According to Sarah Harris’ article in the vogue magazine, ‘ITALIAN men love their mothers; we all know this, it’s well documented. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana are no exception – their Dolce & Gabbana campaigns have long depicted the perfect La Famiglia seen through multiple generations. Today, their collection, Viva la Mamma was all about a celebration of motherhood, dedicated to mothers of the world. Edoardo Bennato's Hurray for Mum was translated into 15 different languages and handed out to show goers. To an audience of mostly women, many of whom are missing their own families at the end of the third leg of fashion month, the Italian duo had us from the get go. The curtains opened to reveal a stage set with mothers, dressed in black silk and lace slips each with their own children; from babies to toddlers, sat on laps, gripped in arms. As Spice Girls’ ‘Mama’ blasted out, Bianca Balti emerged, heavily pregnant in a blush coloured shift. She received a round of applause (like I said, the audience was fueled with emotion). More toddlers emerged, dressed in matching mother-daughter combinations and other slightly bewildered, but perfectly behaved bambinos, clamped to hips, held to bosom. The clothes? It was signature Dolce & Gabbana through and through – Sicilian lace dresses, Forties skirt suits, fit and flare coats. The red rose was the recurring motif; it popped up in sequins on a white shift dress, embroidered climbing its way up black guipure lace and red astrakhan dresses, and even, worked into prints featuring the Madonna and child. The closing dresses were a parade of billowy white silk frocks printed in naïve scribbly Crayola drawings – the sort of nursery-stage scruffy-cornered artwork that would proudly be Sellotaped to the wall in any family home. Utterly uplifting.’
