The photographs impose and resist

[mostakimvip12]

The exhibition through projection are of particular interest. And above all something related to the atmosphere of the exhibition space. Technical needs impose a low lighting which lends evocativeness to the space and at the same time evokes discretion and respect from the viewer. And this is something that ironically contrasts with the usual treatment of a television screen. This suggestiveness is emphasized even more by the intense and unique lighting sources that are the exposed projected images photographs themselves. Lighting is no longer external but internal. But even more evocative is the pace of the projection.


Traditional wall exhibition the viewer can concentrate in front of a photograph for several seconds a whole minute is already an unbearable time for the photograph which by its nature does not withstand such persistent consideration but always ends up turning away of its own accord his gaze e-commerce photo editing from this particular photo to switch to another thus discharging his potential emotion. But during an exhibition the viewer through their own time Countless times I am faced with the same questions. One of them has to do with photography exhibitions. That is if it makes sense to exhibit one's photographs. It's true that for a while my answer leaned towards the negative.



Perhaps because many years ago when the small exhibition hall of Fotochoros first opened as an annex of the store of the same name that I had founded in together with a few friends I had experienced the extreme vanity of the exhibitors. I then made the mistake of confusing cause and effect by holding the exposures responsible rather than the characters of the people. With the relative sobriety that the years bring I can now say that I strongly and emphatically recommend that photographers exhibit their work. In fact the cultivation of an art that is done with the goal of the drawer and not communication can turn out to be distorting. After all a displayed modesty often barely hides an unacknowledged narcissism.
