Photographers on ISOLATION/LONELINESS = (N 7) Loneliness represented by the photographer Linnnn

https://www.collater.al/en/linnnn-photograohy-pastel/ = Loneliness represented by the photographer Linnnn What does it mean to feel alone? How can solitude be represented? The South Korean photographer from Seoul Linnnn does not want to give answers, but ask questions. She decided to create the Blow series entirely dedicated to solitude, just to try to stimulate public interest on this issue. Her style is absolutely personal and particular: aesthetics may seem superficial and carefree but hides the profound unease of those who are aware of the suffering they experience every day. Her universe is paradoxical and timeless, in which the pastel colors clash with solitude, represented by the cutting of images and poses of the main subject, which never shows her face. Everything is enveloped in an atmosphere of sterility and minimalism, which lets out emotions that scream in silence.

Guy Debord: Theory of the Derive (1981)

https://nbrokaw.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/theory-of-the-derive-4.pdf = One of the basic situationist practices is the dérive [literally: “drifting”], a technique of rapid passage through varied ambiances. Dérives involve playful-constructive behavior and awareness of psychogeographical effects, and are thus quite different from the classic notions of journey or stroll. In a dérive one or more persons during a certain period drop their relations, their work and leisure activities, and all their other usual motives for movement and action, and let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the encounters they find there. Chance is a less important factor in this activity than one might think: from a dérive point of view, cities have psychogeographical contours, with constant currents, fixed points and vortexes that strongly discourage entry into or exit from certain zones....

How I arranged my photographs on my end of year exhibition (layout)

My inspiration is Wolfgang Tillmans's installation strategy. https://www.guggenheim.org/artwork/11554= Wolfgang Tillmans Guggenheim Installation For Tillmans, the images are only half the work; the installation or layout constitutes its completion. He affixes his prints directly to the wall with pins or tape, juxtaposing old and new images of varying sizes and mediums. He eschews standard darkroom procedures, blurring the lines between color and black and white (printing black-and-white images on color paper, for instance). Color photographs are placed next to inkjet prints and next to postcards and magazine clippings of his own images, contesting conventional hierarchies of scale and subject matter while drawing focus to the materiality of the photographic medium—all within a carefully composed environment that seems to disdain permanency. https://www.sleek-mag.com/article/wolfgang-tillmans/ = The Ultimate Guide to Wolfgang Tillmans Wolfgang Tillmans has pioneered a pre...
