olivia laing: not long before he (david wojnarowicz) died, he made a photograph in the desert of his own face, eyes closed, teeth bared, almost buried beneath the dirt, an image of defiance in the face of extinction. if silence equals death, he taught us, then art equals language equals life.

Lido, Venice, 1959, by Italian photographer Gianni Berengo Gardin

This photograph is probably my favourite amongst Arnatt’s rubish series, and says a lot about composition with still life. With a simple efficient composition you can display a lot, without the image getting cluttered, in still life you often portray more than one object at a time, in sets. Although this photograph doesn’t use a particular set, and is just apparantly random rubbish, it displays all the subjects efficiently in place, without the image feeling cluttered and overly complex.

I also really like the fact that beneath the plastic sheet the subjects are on, you can still make out the rubbish beneath, which helps stop the photo becoming overly minimal.
