ANALOG

ANALOG and PRINTED PICTURE TOOK IN TUSCANY.

PH: Chiara Celestina Brunone



It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary.

DAVID BAILEY

The protagonist of Swinging London, David Bailey created the style of lightness in photography. It led to the success of icons like Twiggy, Penelope Tree and Verushka

In 1966, Michelangelo Antonioni shot a film that was to become a classic – Blow Up, a portrait of Swinging London and its riotous 60s. With his triumph at Cannes the following year, David Hemmings – the star of the film, which featured him in a sexually charged photo romp with the irresistible Verushka – became the film equivalent of the star of the magazine shoot, David Bailey. But why was a photographer who was thought of as working class chosen as a model? It was because it was with Bailey, the architect of one of the great fashion revolutions of our time,
that photography took on a powerful new social role and cemented its own iconic status, halfway between dream and reality.

QUIMERA

Daniel González, is a young photographer from Medellín, Colombia, and you have seen more of him here on KALTBLUT before. His photography is often inspired by his home country and the women of it. The simplicity of nudity, as something natural, without limits or prejudices is big part of his photographic work. This very blend of nature and human body is also present in his latest series Quimera. - Artcile by Kaltblut

“The body has been closely associated with art since its inception and in every age has been closer to ideologies, customs and socio-cultural perception. Nudity, is something natural that has been excommunicated based on prejudices, taboos, modesty, and all the introjected throughout history. The purpose of my work is to generate reflection about the nudity as a manifestation of natural behavior. Work explores a very personal language through topics such as: space, nature and corporeality.”
