The following images are about taking a 'Wrong Turn'/s, in relation to an instances effect on the course of events which then follow, and the way in which lifestyles can take a turn in regards to a 'mistake' or wrong choice which has been previously made. 

This has often been referred to in historic and popular culture in the form of 'pathways', a 'fork in the road' or swaying from the 'beaten track' and which has subsequently been related to moving away from conventional or directional lifestyles. 

In these images the combined associations of loss, reaching a crossroads, a wrong turn or mistake in direction are brought together in a sense of apparent unease and tension which relate to a greater emotional sense of potential displacement and their being a further depth to the scene, which remains unknown. There exists a sense of mystery in the characters stance, their position and location, and a dialogue on the real versus the staged scenario is suggested. We can sense the supposed implications of this 'mistake' within the present narrative and the path in which it may lead remains subjective.

Socrates tells us that, “Falling in love is a grave mental disease”. I don’t think so.

Every lover has experienced the intimacy of ‘two hearts that beat as one,’ a

kind of dialogue that alters hormones and physiology. This heart entrainment 

produces an electro-magnetic field that extends far beyond the embracing

couple. It can be measured as far away as ten feet, and goes on infinitely but it is 

most intense at eighteen inches, the spacing of intimate conversation.

Falling in love involves definite complex biochemical processes that account for 

various experiences such as euphoria, the intense level of which subsides in 

about a year to the level of couples in long term relationships. Falling suggests 

that the process is inevitable as it is based on highly charged erotic attraction, 

emotional solidarity and our olfactory senses.

It has been suggested and taught by every tradition and fairy tale since time 

began that, ‘love is the answer’.

There are all these images in my head… all this stories which collide… mine, the other ones…

The fictions’s desire is everywhere. The characters, just like objects, contain a shape of gravity. However, it doesn’t mean that we perceived the subject. A latent violence. The characters seem to be holders of a secret or to be at the beginning of an event, of a point of turnaround. The nature seems to echo this suspension. Disorder of a blank look breaches in representations to allow it to deploy a gap of meaning, and thus a ground for the viewer’s imagination…

The debris of your memory are picked to be thrown light. Showing an intimate sphere where human disorders reign ; inner fits can be told. My concerns are about contemporary fears. Tirelessly trying to translate the human’s secret, I reveal what can be private for someone. We can discover photographs impregnated with ambiguity. Preferring a picture to decrypt than a picture given with already here, a resistant picture in a way. Trying another narrative form, that cannot to be put in a time space or in a tradicionnal space. It means, taking pictures without giving them a definitive meaning, to be facing a silent privacy. How to make visible throught photography what is hidden ?

“L’amore di Dio”, Scampia – Naples. Italy 2010

This photograph belongs to the the series “Un’altra Scampia” (Another Scampia)

Scampia is a destitute suburb in the north side of Naples. Well known to be the criminal organization's base of "Camorra". Made up of early 80.000 inhabitants. In spite of all its problems, related to an unsuccessful urbanplan, the fact to be the first drug marketplace in Europe, and others, like a very high level of unemployment, this suburb resists with the endless energy and strong spirit of volunteers and free associations. These, sometimes helped financially by foundations or free contributors, work hard every day to fight against the common mentality of this place. They try to keep children and teenagers out from the possibility to fall down in the web of the criminal organization. They teach them the importance of believing in a different Scampia and that this reality already exists and can be extended to all parts, fighting against any form of mafia.

The entire work turns around the theme of the contrast, the contrapposition of good and evil, going beyond this. I thought of this photograph as the representation of a kind of MISTAKE, considering the inner contraddiction of its message, as something that should (and could) be different.

Sorprenden las prendas que visten, los complementos que exhiben y hasta los gestos. Un experto en sociología política diría que la globalización rompe los esquemas ideológicos que se imponen a la sociedad cubana, los jóvenes muestran su rebeldía vistiéndose de yankis occidentales, como los progres de los 80 se vistieron de Che o de guerrilleros cubanos. 

Yo le digo a EXTATIQUE: NO. Es un ERROR. La alegría de los niños desborda por encima del look y de los gestos. Sólo se han equivocado de vestuario. Son felices a pesar del disfraz.

This picture was taken during a lonely performance for the dead birds in the attic of Sigmund Freuds former house, Berggasse 19, Vienna. The attic is somehow the brain of the house and contains hidden or forgotten objects, like this 19th century bathtub. Probably it was the bathtub of Dorothy Burlingham, or Sigmund Freud himself. As he would call it, I`m the misperformance in this houses mind in this moment.

Silence is the theme which we have chosen for this number of Extatique. It's a way of paying homage to John Cage who passed awayvtwo decades ago. 

Silence is Extatique designed, composed and published here in New York, that overwhelming city, which never sleeps, where the noise never ceases, where SILENCE nourishes itself from any source. Just as in the Cages masterpiece, 4'33" four minutes and thirty three seconds of silence. Sovthat isvwhy we at

Extatique have selected ten photographers and their perception of

SILENCE
