ACP Photofile Issue 84 - Distortions |
|
Wednesday, 13 August 2008 |
 In Maree Alexander's world, everyday objects take on a mysteriously
erotic frisson. A jug pushes a glass into a corner with clearly
erogenous intent, fruit squeezers prepare to copulate - the everyday
becomes a sensual orgy. Cold, utilitarian glass and plastic are caught
out in the heat of the moment, leaving one wondering what happens on
the kitchen bench when we are away. "It is the animation of the
inanimate...

ACP Photofile Issue 83 - The Erotic Imagination |
|
Friday, 18 April 2008 |
 The body haunts this issue of Photofile.
At times, as in the works of Helen Pynor, Peta Clancy, Ben Cauchi,
Jacqui Stockdale and Kristian Burford, it is there in all its visceral,
and sometimes gory, glory. At times it is morphing into a strange
technological presence in Second Life as seen in the works of
BABELSWARM. Elsewhere it is hauntingly absent; in a place where the
body, and all too often bodies, are an ever-present factor...

 Reality and fiction.
Truth and falsehood. The authorisation of meaning. Photography seems
forever caught up in the vortex that swirls between these concepts.
This issue of Photofile has no formal theme, but these
concerns with reality, fiction and authorisation are all here. The
traditions of documentary witness are to be found in the work of the
artist-run photo agency Oculi and in the harsh realties made evident in...
