Vordiplom #2: Something Personal

2008-11-26T18:25:00.005+01:00

Childhood's highlights

Lost - Loneliness - Dependancy

La Urbe

Untitled

Christmas for some

Lost look

Society's rush

Pain

Untitled

This is the second part of my Vordiplom.

These are the photographs I am personally and emotionally most attached to. They talk about existencialist subjects such as time, the transitory, feeling lost and alone, boredom, and a couple more. Somehow there's a pretty tragic feeling to it all but I like it.
The photographs are very different from one another considering the shown, they have similarities in their messages though.

I recommend viewing the photographs in full view (by clicking on them) to identify some details that get lost in the thumbnail.

Vordiplom #1: Marseille

This is the first part of my Vordiplom ("Pre-"Diploma).

A couple of co students from the Hamburg Art School (HFBK) and I participated in a two week exchange program with the Marseille Art School (ESBAM). We travelled there in the end of 2006 and they came here in April 2007. Our end goal was to exhibit our pictures together. I decided to create a personal portrait of the city, regarding my impressions, experiences and Marseille's impact on me.

On his next one he choked and died.

camera obscura exhibition

"Zeitgeist

2007-10-02T14:09:00.000+02:00

...is originally a German expression that means "the spirit of the age", literally translated as "time (Zeit) spirit (Geist)". It describes the intellectual and cultural climate of an era. In German, the word has more layers of meaning than the English translation, including the fact that Zeitgeist can only be observed for past events." -wikipedia.org

i've been recommended a movie called "Zeitgeist", while watching it i felt a lot of different subjects in my brain connecting, which was exactly what i needed. some aspects might be a little exaggerated, yet it is a very good documentary about our time and the time before which we don't call ours, although it is.

please do me and yourself a favor and watch it HERE (english version) or HERE (spanish subtitles)

thank you

2 months...

una envoltura de sobado abstrahida

sorry for the delay, meanwhile i can walk again! two weeks in Barcelona, lots of visits from and to friends i cherish very much, museums, galleries, exhibitions, and learning from everywhere i can. that about sums up these last two months a little.

for the photography friends I've stumbled upon a new kind of picture trimmer/ expander/ (de)former/ etc. it's name is the resizer and the logo below is a link to its page where one can directly edit pictures, try it out.

i'll be back a little sooner next time, i promise....time flies by....

3 weeks

2007-08-02T11:44:00.000+02:00

it's been 3 weeks since the surgery and i feel much better. these last days my main activity was selecting images out of my humongous archive for my future website. while i was on the search for them i found following video:

we were in a car like the one being pushed and had to cross part of a river that you normally cross with help of a bridge. the bridge was shredded at that time due to a landslide so we had no other choice, PUSH US DREDGER!

Cechov & Köln

2007-07-05T14:32:00.000+02:00

Yesterday I was at a great theater performance of the Acting School of Hamburg, they played several different Cechov scenes. I hadn't been at a theater for a pretty long time, so it was a very productive experience for me. Lots of exagerations, dramatic and absurd scenes of over 100 years ago which proved that humans have hardly changed and probably will not.

This weekend I'm off to Köln (Cologne) to visit friends and probably some museums too. Last time I was there I took this picture:

it represents society in a way

Wilhelmsburg through the cookie can #2

2007-06-22T16:11:00.000+02:00

These pictures were taken about half a year ago with the little snow that fell (except the first one) in Wilhelmsburg, south of Hamburg. I just scanned them, that's why I'm putting them on the blog now. Well, I'm off to Kiel, enjoy your weekend!

2007-06-20T01:09:00.000+02:00

new style sheet and layout, i hope you like it.

boycott and a couple of artists

2007-06-15T23:20:00.000+02:00

hi, sorry for the 2 weeks pause. i've been a little busy with the amazing weather, we had 28°C and no clouds and that's something you have to enjoy, specially here in hamburg.

at our art school we have decided to boycott the semester fees, the german regime decided to introduce, because they are unsocial and will most probably rise and rise. for more information go to http://www.hfbk.de

some artists i've found (and refound) i would like to share with you are:

cecilia larrabure peruvian photographer

fernando gutierrez peruvian artist

francois vallaeys french philosopher and story teller living in peru

roger ballen north american photographer living in south africa

and to end today's post one of my pictures related to our wonderful supervising system, what would we do without it? probably the same, so please don't let them bother you. but remember, big brother is watching you... it's amazing how some are frightened (of what i don't know) more and more, day by day. don't let insecurity get too far in your vains.

Wilhelmsburg through the cookie can

2007-05-15T21:46:00.000+02:00

These are some camera obscura (pinhole) photographs i took this winter. The picture has a black round border which is created, because the hole is pretty close to the photographic paper which creates a wide angle.

There are more to come of the summer of course.

road kill, it must have been squished quite violently। one half of the body connected with the other by its snout.
check out the body liquids stain.

that's one of the destinies animals have in cities or close to us

Queen's Day, Amsterdam

2007-05-02T04:00:00.000+02:00

it was crazy, the biggest street party i've after the world cup here in germany and after the street parade in zürich.
on april 30th at least a million people celebrating queen beatrix' birthday in diferent parts of the city. all in all amsterdam is very nice, lots of small streets and canals, lots of bikes and nature. water is always a great element to have close.

markets

2007-04-28T03:56:00.000+02:00

i used to live in peru, these are some pictures i took there. the conection between them is that they all have the local market as the main subject.

haus der photographie

2007-04-26T21:59:00.000+02:00

every two weeks on thursday we have a class with a photography professor of our art school and a curator of a pretty big photography museum of hamburg. the subject is self perception and extern perception of student's projects.
outside, workers were patching the floor with tar squares which was a little noisy but a nice photographic subject, i just love smoke and fog.

Kreuzbandriss

2007-04-25T23:20:00.000+02:00

Hi everybody,

this blog is my new experiment for creating a little more pressure creating, if you know what i mean. i'm studying visual communication, putting emphasis on photography but of course also interested in cinema and graphics. It might evolve into a mix between a journal and a place to show my work.

about two weeks ago i ruptured my knee's anterior cruciate ligament and will require a total knee reconstruction. the operation will take place in a month and i will be able to use it as i used to use it six months later, this means that the summer is not going to be taken advantage of as it should but that's life and i have to go through it...with crutches.

the picture is an animation of my knee's RMI at the crucial spot.

thank you and good bye
