Wout Berger - When I Open My EyesFotohof 2012 ISBN 9783902675750 Acqn 21864Pb 24x31cm 130pp 64col ills 25
For over thirty-five years, Ive been living on the IJsselmeer. When I open my eyes in themorning, the first thing I see is the IJsselmeer. Sometimes I take a picture of it, but really seeingit is something else. Not until a friend of mine said to me, You live in your subject matter, did thepenny drop. I placed a tripod at a fixed spot in front of the bedroom window and began to look. Atfirst youre grateful for every sailboat that comes along. Every intense sky: a photograph. Butbefore long you start keeping every distraction out of the picture. Its what anyone open to thesubject matter ends up doing. Sixty photographs in all: together they make the IJsselmeer. Noone photograph is nicer than another. If you start looking at photographs that way, you get lost in
aesthetics. Im not after aesthetics. I want to photograph wind, light-elements that we know onlyby their manifestations. (Wout Berger, excerpt from the artists statement in the book )

Nonetheless, it sparkedsomething and Brodie began to wander across the U.S. by any means that were free - walking,hitchhiking and train hopping. Shortly after, Brodie found a Polaroid camera stuffed behind acarseat. With no training in photography, the instant camera was an opening for Brodie to
document his experiences. As a way of staying in touch with his transient community, Brodieshared his pictures on various websites gaining the moniker The Polaroid Kidd [sic].

Japanese photographer Eye Ohashi is recognisable for her luminous, dream-like and melancholystyle, which captures such things as natural landscapes, plants, animals and architecture. Theseries of images found in Piece reflects the fragmented, arbitrary nature of existence through itsbroken subjects: landscapes altered by exterior forces, such as erosion, or things disused andneglected, such as buildings and objects, or even portraits of unlucky chance, like an injuredbutterfly or a childs prosthetic limb. Transient phenomena like blossoms, candles and the subtleshift of light are also pictured. These so-called fragments of life are all beautifully depictedthrough Ohashis lens.

Heguides us with a sense of physically moving through the place, glancing around, taking it all inwith the repetition and progression of viewpoints.
