usually do not read The Republic , but I must confess that I always buy it on saturday, I yield to the temptation of that splendid insert (with perhaps a little too much publicity) is D .
Last week there was this' article by Sandro Veronesi, Quiet Chaos author, on the job "The lit" the photographer Evan Baden.
I do not know why but the pictures I liked a lot.
Portraits of people (mostly kids) backlit screen on the notebook, ipod, cell phones etc ... simple idea into reality. Scene absolutely normal and daily ... at the same time I probably find myself in the same situation: surrounded by dark gray that comes from outside, not too dark for me to light a lamp and allumée, then from my pc!
would be nothing new to say ... but this time with a click stop is to change the whole perspective.
A light that frames the oval face and her eyes sparkle is kidnapped and lost in the source wire that we have always faced.
A light reminiscent of Flemish paintings of ... The Girl with a Pearl Earring by Vermeer for example ...
An artificial light. Cold. As if the technology now a prosthesis constant of our existence, the only form able to "enlighten" keeping us alive and to relate to others.
