© ALNIS STAKLE "Ci sono un certo numero di componenti che sono importanti per me in ogni progetto: l'idea del progetto deve essere correlata alla mia esperienza personale, il progetto dovrebbe presentare alcune questioni di politica sociale importanti collettivamente, e dovrebbe anche mettere a confronto lo spettatore con l'ambiguità del linguaggio della fotografia." Partendo dalle affermazioni dell'artista lettone di fama internazionale ALNIS STAKLE, vincitore di premi, cerchiamo di capire come nasce anche il complesso lavoro "Mellow Apocalypse", che mi ha subito richiamato l'universo immaginifico fiammingo, di Bosch, con tonalità cupe e monocromatiche. Sono collages unici, realizzati digitalmente, per unione, sovrapposizione, ibridazione di immagini diverse per origine e datazione, media e culture: molte di queste immagini sono state attinte dalle collezioni open source dei musei d'arte (chiaro richiamo all'arte) o da istituzioni scientifiche e banche di immagini. Diventano, in questo modo, iconiche testimonianze del presente e del passato. "I collage si basano sulla mia ricerca di connessioni sintattiche del linguaggio visivo, che permea la nostra realtà, (dalla fotografia alla pittura all'illustrazione, dal cinema e al piccolo schermo) nelle immagini appartenenti a vari periodi, a media e domini della cultura visiva" - spiega Stakle, interessato al destino delle immagini artistiche, scientifiche e giornalistiche canonizzate e alla possibilità che incarnino significati attuali. “Le immagini sono la base per il trasferimento di conoscenza, sono la memoria collettiva, l'intrattenimento... continua a leggere scritto di Debora Valentini su FIAF #collage https://www.facebook.com/fiaf.net/ #disfiaf #75annifiaf #collagedigital #storia #immagini #memoria #reinterpretazione #fotografia #linguaggiovisivo

For the Latvian artist Alnis Stakle [ @theoryofme ], the turbulent post-war period informs much of his creative work. Born into the final decade and a half of Soviet occupation, his formative years were shaped by the Soviet ideologies of individual sacrifice and an unquestioning reliance upon the state. In his early adulthood he learned the harsh lessons of Neoliberalism, that economic freedom and individual vulnerability are two sides of the same capitalist coin. Happily, in recent years, he has, like his country, prospered. Yet the door to the past never fully closes. His images hover in a liminal space between the poetics of melancholy, a shield of self-irony, and a faint flicker of wistful hope. His earlier series are elegies on the lost and the neglected, abandoned in the haste of history. In his most recent work, he escapes the world of the real to journey through its multifarious representation in online archives and image repositories, searching for patterns and structures that might give meaning to the chaos of excess. In this Talking Pictures interview, Alnis Stakle discusses the importance of finding private meaning amid the tectonic shifts of ideological and economic change.

ARCHIFOTO 22 // LAUREAT : ALNIS STAKLE Lauréat du concours Archifoto Demathieu-Bard construction, Alnis Stakle est un photographe lettonien. Avec sa série "Neither horse nor tiger" il invite le spectateur pour à une déambulation dans plusieurs métropoles chinoises, dont il évoque la transformation urbaine. En s’éloignant du photojournalisme et en développant un langage esthétique qui lui est propre, il capture ces grandes villes au point de basculement entre l’ancien et le nouveau monde, et questionne le caractère désirable de cette version de la modernité. - Droits, Alnis Stakle, Neither horse nor tiger, 2013-2017. - #photography #exhibition #exposition #architecturephotography #Chine #métropole #contraste #nightphotography #nightview #lostplaces #acontemporaryphotgraphy #instaart #picoftheday #visualart #photographydaily #strasbourgart #visitstrasbourg #strasbourgculture

EXPOSITION // ARCHIFOTO 22 - ARCHITECTURE ET RESSOURCES La Chambre débute la saison avec l’exposition Archifoto! Tous les deux ans depuis 2012, la Maison Européenne de l’Architecture Rhin-Supérieur et La Chambre s’associent pour organiser Archifoto, un concours qui met en valeur les liens étroits entre photographie et architecture. Les cinq artistes sélectionné.es pour l’exposition offrent leur vision personnelle du thème Architecture et Ressources. Vous pourrez les découvrir ici au fil des semaines... La question des ressources se pose aujourd’hui de manière forte, au vu de la prise de conscience de leur finitude. Les contraintes induites par le Covid et la guerre en Ukraine ont amplifié l’importance des enjeux d’approvisionnement et de dépendance. Depuis quelques années, des urbanistes et des architectes de plus en plus nombreux.ses réfléchissent aux nouvelles pratiques applicables dans la construction et l’occupation de l’espace. Où en est-on de ce mouvement, quels impacts sur l’architecture, ses créateur.rices, ses habitant.es, le paysage ? - Droits, Alnis Stakle, Neither Horse nor Tiger, 2013-2017 - #photography #architecture #concours #archifoto #strasbourg #photographie #exhibition #culture #découverte #ressources #métropole #picoftheday
