Mirrors
this photo was our top pick because we couldn't quite tell what the image was about, it gave us a sense of mystery and a grey area in the image. we both thought that this linked to the way mirrors worked, this is because mirrors can be used in various way and can promote different feeling for different people, making it as mysterious as the photo itself.
Windows on the other hand the window side, the image looks s if it was taken out of someones window, this was my only reasoning for placing this photos there, however upon further inspection there is a cannon showing from behind the trees, although this might defer people from thinking its a window photo, i believe it still is because on its strong window look. |
“Scarti di avviamento”, meaning Paper is put through the printing press to clean the ink drums between print runs.As a result, it's a waste product that's usually discarded when the book is printed. It was different with Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin Scarti's latest publication. Publisher Gigi Giannuzzi had set the pieces aside during the editing and publishing process of "Ghetto" - without alerting anyone. The stuff was discovered after his death in 2012, carefully preserved in cartons.The "Ghetto" shreds, with their stacking of the original images, appear almost deliberate. Both compositionally and contextually, the double-printed sheets show strange and frequently lovely combinations.In one, a South African prisoner's arm lands casually on the knee of a Kurdish lorry driver, while in another, an American octogenarian from the 'Leisure World' retirement home lies nearly exactly atop the knee of a young Tanzanian refugee perched in a tree.
