Hittade av en ren tillfällighet ett inlägg på gruppof.blogspot.com och det fick mig verkligen att börja gråta. Endel synpunkter som står där är ju helt asbra, men jag kan faktiskt se någon sanning i det! F skriver endel underhållande grejer .
Vill verkligen tipsa er alla om invited guest: Joakim Eskildsen, berätta vad du tycker om det som står nedan!

India Baji and Kusba, SamodFinland Hannu, HelsinkiJoakim Eskildsens recent project "The Roma Journeys" was exhibited in Kulturhuset, Stockholm last summer. The journey is right now on show in Berlin, Hamburg and Iserlohn, Germany. It is an impressive collection of photographs taken between 20002006 in seven different countries. Joakim travelled with writer Cia Rinne aiming at getting an insight into the living conditions of the Roma. The project has also resulted in a book in English and German separate editions with a foreword by Gnter Grass. It includes a CD of field recordings and music recorded on the journeys. You should visit joakimeskildsen.com to find out more.Russia Leskovo IIIRussia Rosalind, KrasnodarIn an interview recently published by Consientious, Jörg Colbergs blog, Joakim explains how he selected pictures from the vast material that he had collected during six years of photographing Q Editing is one of those aspects of photography that is hardest to do. Given the sheer number of photos in the book, I cannot even imagine how many others you must have rejected. How does one go about editing such a vast projectA The way I went about working on The Roma Journeys was that of all the film I took on each journey, I would make contact sheets that I spent weeks studying. I would then mark out all pictures that were of interest, and scan them in a small resolution to make a quick finelooking file. Then I printed all of them in the size of 6x7 cm and cut them out, so I ended up with a bunch of ‘cards’. These bunches of pictures I used a lot as they look like fine prints, and I worked a lot with them, combining pictures and simply putting aside the ones which did last. I must have several thousands of these small prints.Greece Nissan, VeriaRomania The Long Plaits, TirnaveniThe following text is an orientation written by Joakim Eskildsen. After living in Finland for several years, he has now returned to his native country; Denmark."My interest for photography started when I was fourteen years old. My brother had learned to print pictures at school, and we both tried to make it work. The pictures were grey and blurred, but still, I felt that it was exceptional, and from this day on I knew that I wanted to be a photographer. I have grown up in the countryside, and nature has always been my great interest. My grandmother lived in a house that was over two hundred years old. She always told stories about her childhood in Sweden. Her garden was an adventure in itself, and there was always a lot to do chopping wood, picking apples, flowers, strawberries, digging up potatoes, cutting trees, painting the house.My grandmother got water from a well, and a telephone very late. At her house, everything was understandable. The fire gave warmth, the house gave a shelter, and the sky gave sun and rain. After school, I became an apprentice at the Royal Court’s photographer Rigmor Mydtskov in Copenhagen. Here, we made portraits of famous persons in Denmark, and I learned that photography consists of a lot of different handicrafts. I continued to make my own pictures, and started travelling in the North. When I had finished the education after four and a half years, I did not know anything else than that I had to continue working with my own photography.Hungary Winter V, HevesaranyosA turning point was Ritva Kovalainen’s exhibition in Copenhagen in February 1993. Here, for the first time, I saw Finnish photography. Apart from Ritva Kovalainen’s own pictures I saw books and portfolios by Jyrki Parantainen, Jorma Puranen, Ismo Hölttö, Pentti Sammallahti, Kristoffer Albrecht and Pekka Turunen. All this Finnish photography was overwhelming to me. In Denmark, I only knew few photographers to which I felt related, and suddenly I realized there was a whole crowd of photographers that I felt connected to. I was immediately convinced that I had to move to Finland. A few weeks later I travelled to Helsinki, went to see Ritva Kovalainen, and applied to the University of Art and Design to make the book Nordic Signs. Since then I have been living in Finland. To me, it is essential to believe; in a better world, in mankind, and in that there is a sense with it all. There are so many problems in the world nowadays poverty, illness, pollution, environmental disasters, war that it requires discipline to be an optimist.France SaintesMariesdelaMer II try to collect photographs of a world that I can believe in, which gives me hope, and moments of magic. The people I photograph are usually persons who I admire, and from which I wish to learn something. I mostly try to live with the people for longer periods of time in order to get a better understanding of everything, and to be able to photograph more peacefully. Usually, I am working closely together with writer Cia Rinne who is very gifted with languages. Without this cooperation it would be impossible for me to live and communicate with the people I photograph.Photos and text by Joakim Eskildsen invited by ulf fågelhammarBlog indexer tagsbr foto, foto, br fotografi, br photography,br fotografi, Technorati Profile

Genesis of those projects comes from simple question how does the world looks in the eyes of disabled people.In the first project My world, my reality disabled artists were showing their internal world of the Center, in the second project they went out with cameras to picture the city where they live. All of the works in the projects are full frames to show complete picture of the world seen by handicapped photographers.Those photodocuments were already shown and impressed the viewers, press titles speak well about the feelings of the guests of this exhibition See to understand, Handicapped artists are showing themselves without ornaments and avoiding stereotypes, We are all the same, I’ll show you who I really am. Those headlines are free from compassion and protective tones. Authors of those photographs became active creators of art, full right members of artistic and social community.Another, perhaps even more precious value which left after those projects this is the magic curiosity of the world injected to our handicapped friendsKrzysztof Gouch photo Jacek Krzemiski photo Krzysztof Piszczelok Vernissage will take place in Fabryka Drutu, April 11th 2008 at 1700h Dubois 22, Gliwice, PL.
