The question of the object… and representation: Chema Madoz

After looking at the landscapes of Joel Sternfeld, portraits by Leibovitz, and narrative by Crewdson, we swiftly transition to the question of the object and its representation, a discourse on photography and image, sign and signified. The Spanish photographer Chema Madoz is in my opinion, a genius at work playing with the relations between photo-surrealist representations and language.

Irinia was born in Buenos Aires and attended Westminister University in London for Photojournalism. I think his projects are always really cool concepts and ideas. I think he does well with telling stories and making the brain turn when viewing images.
One of my favourite projects from him is the Back to the Future Series…
“I love old photos. I admit being a nosey photographer. As soon as I step into someone else’s house, I start sniffing for them. Most of us are fascinated by their retro look but to me, it’s imagining how people would feel and look like if they were to reenact them today… Two years ago, I decided to actually do this. So, with my camera, I started inviting people to go back to their future..”
Here are just a few images from the project, but you can goto http://www.irinawerning.com/index.php?/bttf2/back-to-the-future-2-2011/

Rune Werner is a photographer from Norway. He does a lot of landscape images that I think are really neat. They way he captures motions in some of the shot is pretty spectacular.

Hillman Curtis was an incredible filmmaker, and design advocate. I’ve shown a few of his artist film series to my graphic design classes in the past. I was greatly inspired by his works. He passed away yesterday.

Watch this video, as it relates to our discussion on the moving picture (portraits).

This is one of my favorite artists when it comes to timelapse photography. Most of Terje Sorgjerd’s filming is done in Norway. This particular piece is in Spain. Feel free to click on his other works after you watch this one. If you watch his videos at the vimeo site, you can read a little bit more about the making and locations of the films.

Here’s a great example of stop motion photography that I stumbled upon a few years ago. Some of you may have seen this before but I thought I’d go ahead and share it. Enjoy :)
