Proust Picture

A Tripe for Balthus
Suicide-Intihar
Ao pesquisar na internet sobre Balthus, dei com o site pessoal deste fotografo turco.
As fotografias de Nazif Topçuoğlu baseiam-se muitas vezes em referências históricas e literárias e centram-se na imagem da mulher jovem.
A sua própria descrição no seu site:
The underlying thread in my work is a constant preoccupation with time, memory and loss. I worry about the transience of people and things in general, and try to reconstruct unclear and imperfect images of an idealized past. Such an attempt inevitably requires the ability to recapture past, hence my constant art-historical references to classic paintings and photographs as well as to authors such as Proust and Thomas Mann. Hence I have no problems with my images becoming visually seductive in the process.
Another and more specific aspect of the recent Readers, is its pre-occupation with the contradicting positions of women in Turkey. When employing the representations of youth as imagery, one has to deal with the issues of gender roles and male gaze. In these photographs, unlike the more common examples, a respectful stance towards the female has been taken. The subjectification of the female youth as a gender-free ideal, inevitably involves her intelligence, beauty, energy, and struggle as the major concerns of this work

I do photography because... I need to produce the images which are provocative but not exploitative that I would enjoy looking at.
Vejam aqui o portefólio, vale a pena:
