“I confini dividono lo spazio; ma non sono pure e semplici barriere. Sono anche interfacce tra i luoghi che separano” Zygmunt Bauman

Sette fotografi che hanno intrapreso un viaggio intorno all’idea di margine scegliendo come luogo d’incontro Roma e il suo territorio e lavorando insieme a un unico progetto: LìMINE, Guida ai limiti di una città, a cura di Massimo Siragusa. La sensibilità di ognuno di loro si è confrontata con l’idea di limite, non inteso solo come confine di spazio né soltanto come misura di tempo, ma come dimensione altra, multiforme e mutevole. Dalle cinte murarie di Roma alle piccole frazioni, dalle spiagge silenziose agli appezzamenti di terreno, dai quartieri popolari al “drizzagno del Tevere” fino al Monte Terminillo, il loro percorso si è mosso in un continuo dialogo tra piani e punti di vista diversi su Roma e sui dintorni della Capitale, in una dimensione corale che tende a sottolineare le similitudini piuttosto che a rimarcare le differenze. Il libro LìMINE, a cura di Doll’s Eye Reflex Laboratory, è una guida poco turistica e molto metafisica che descrive e reinventa una città dai confini sfumati come quelli di un’idea, di un ricordo, di una sensazione. Periferia e centro, terra e mare, bellezza e degrado si toccano e si confondono e nuove topografie si sovrappongono ad antiche mappe, costringendoci a riorientare la nostra visione.

Description

Experimental Photography is the first manual ever to break down into a step-by-step format the experimental techniques that photographers use to subvert or expand conventional camera technology, heralding a new era in photography.

The book features technical sections that define a particular process and show how to carry it out, accompanied by examples of the finished images. These are interspersed with illustrated interviews with photographers who use these techniques, examining what their work aims to do and how it is made.

Some techniques, such as photograms or lumenprints, are cameraless; others involve building simple cameras from unexpected materials or exploiting the limitations of toy and disposable cameras for artistic effect. Camera hacking—breaking rules in exposure, zooming, panning, focus, and composition; modifying the camera to produce slit-scans; or adding filters—can produce a variety of exciting results.

Film can also be manipulated or distressed, and many experiments can be conducted during the preparation of negatives and prints. Even once the print has been produced, creativity continues: mordançage, for example, provides a controlled degrading of the print, and bleaching and encaustic can be used to create new effects.

For practicing photographers as well as anyone interested in artistic photographic techniques, this is an unprecedented sourcebook of practical inspiration that celebrates the work of the exceptional artists, “hackers,” and artisans who are pushing the boundaries of how we conceive of photography.

Reviews

An essential technical resource, but also an inspiring addition to the literature of forward-thinking photographic image-making.

In architectural practice nothing is more cherished than the creative moment – the eureka moment where a new concept, idea, or form is conceived. These are the definitive moments that go on to birth great projects. How much can these moments be related to the particular atmosphere of a studio’s surroundings? And how much value do the architects themselves place on their workspace?

Over the course of one year we interviewed architects, taking into account both big studios and small practices virtually all around the globe.

The result is a unique publication, unlike any other previously published on the subject. StudioSpace is a truly insightful voyage inside the creative environments of architecture studios to seek what really is that fosters creativity. It includes in-depth interviews, beautiful photography and an innovative use of infographics.
