Some images work in isolation, others need to be grouped. This is the only real way to see the iconic work of the Bechers, a Düsseldorf husband and wife team who photographed old industrial buildings in Europe. Although each particular photo sort of fades in the mind the overall experience of seeing them together does not. #pier24 #pier24photography #art #photography #artphotography #artgallery #artmuseum #sanfrancisco #artcollector #artcurator #artlover #bechers

The Indecisive Moment - Leyla Stevens

There is a tension offered in slow cinema that is all too frequently unexplored through traditional forms of editing and cutting. Letting the scene play out naturally can create a steadily rising sense of anxiety and tension, especially when dealing with the heavy subject matter of the Indonesian genocide. The work of Leyla Stevens is not loud or in your face but opts for a more quiet and slow presentation. A video work might hold on a piece of nature or a crossing for an extended period of time, at least more than we are accustomed to. The works exist in a state of being simultaneously relaxing and tense. Stevens talks about her work representing a rejection against the decisive moment framework for photography as defined by Henri Cartier-Bresson. I am reminded of other work that rejects the decisive moment such as Paul Graham’s ‘A Shimmer of Possibility’, which features a book that explores the multiple images taken from a single scene or subject. The images work on their own and importantly exercise the idea that there may not ever be a truly ‘decisive moment’ within photography. I also see traces of Salote Tawale in Stevens’ work through the exploration of past histories within the gallery. In the same way that Tawale uses video to create a tense scene, Stevens also masters the use of the continuous and unresolved sequence.

Even in feature films like Ida (2014) and Cache (2005) and recently The Invisible Man (2020), there are great examples of still and long scenes that work to create a dynamic and effective way of storytelling. What this leads me to is the time and attention that is often not asked enough from the audience. We are given our own time through stills but with video work, we are immersed and lost within the scene.

Viewing the works for Robert Adams allowed me to gain inspiration for task 1a. 

Certain photographs and works created by Robert Adams gave a sense of connection between myself and his photographs. Choosing to view the gallery on my own, I was left with the sensation of feeling alone. I then stumbled across his works and felt quite relieved seeing photographs that I could relate to.

You can approach this image in a variety of ways but I'm taken by the implied actions (or, more pointy, the inactions) of the sign painter or the person who owns the sign. Whatever business paid for the image has stopped paying but instead of painting the image over while they wait for the next client the billboard people have just obscured the company name and copy text, leaving behind the landscape image. It was too beautiful in itself to destroy and perhaps the real landscape behind it was the better for not having a blank white billboard defacing the viewer's enjoyment. #pier24 #pier24photography #art #photography #artphotography #artgallery #artmuseum #sanfrancisco #artcollector #artcurator #artlover
