Henri Lartigue | 1894-1986

“His colour photography began with autochrome images in his youth, and in the 1950s he started using Ektachrome film. The impressive collection spans nearly the entire 20th century, from the first photo he took in 1902 as an eight-year-old boy, to the final image taken in 1986 at the age of 92. He could capture fleeting moments of happiness like no other. Lartigue’s oeuvre offers a light and cheerful perspective on life in France in the early 20th century.” - Foam Museum

“In his 1989 series ‘Metamorphosis’, French photographer Frédéric Fontenoy captures fleeting portraits of the body in nature.

Using a panoramic camera, Fontenoy created images that depict distorted nude bodies in the nature, inspired by the works of French photographer Hans Bellmer. To this day, the photographer specializes in the portrayal of the human body. Speaking about the idea and the process behind the photographs, Fontenoy says: “Most of the photos are ‘self-portraits’. It was like dancing, 2-3 seconds in front of the camera, trying to create a pre-human form in landscape without any trace of humanity…”

A Woman's Work Is Never Done – flesh/ thread

ELIZA BENNETT

A series of photographic works titled 'A Woman's Work is Never Done' Using my own hand as a base material, I considered it a canvas upon which I stitched into the top layer of skin using thread to create the appearance of an incredibly work worn hand.  By using the technique of embroidery, which is traditionally employed to represent femininity and applying it to the expression of its opposite, I hope to challenge the pre-conceived notion that 'women's work' is light and easy.  Aiming to represent the effects of hard work arising from employment in low paid 'ancillary' jobs, such as cleaning, caring and catering, all traditionally considered to be 'women's work'.

The technique, I recall first applying to my hand under a table during a home economics class in school. I was totally amazed to find that I could pass a needle under the top layers of skin without any pain, only a mild discomfort.  As with many childhood whims it passed and I hadn't thought any more about it until quite recently when I decided to apply the process to my hand to make it appear calloused and work worn like that of a manual labourer. Some viewers consider the piece to be a feminist protest, for me it's about human value. After all, there are many men employed in caring, catering, cleaning etc... all jobs traditionally considered to be 'women's work'. Such work is invisible in the larger society, with 'A woman's work' I aim to represent it.

METROPOLIS | MARTIN ROEMERS

“In 2007 the Dutch photographer Martin Roemers started travelling all over the world to photograph ‘megacities’ - those home to over 10 million people - for his project Metropolis. Dynamic streams of movement and static infrastructure determine the composition of his photographs, the image forming a crossroads at which different lives converge.” ~ huismarseille.nl
