SOPA - Mandy Barker

No norte do Oceano Pacífico, entre a América do Norte e a Ásia, ocupando 10 mil quilômetros quadrados de mar, flutua a maior lixeira do mundo, a Grande Mancha de Lixo do Pacífico. Nesse redemoinho de dejetos acumulados pela corrente Giro do Pacífico Norte, a concentração de detritos plásticos e químicos é seis vezes superior à proporção de plâncton na água. No ensaio SOPA, a fotógrafa britânica Mandy Barker oferece uma descrição do acúmulo de detritos suspensos (copos, garrafas, roupas ,canetas, brinquedos, e objetos) estimulando uma resposta emocional do espectador "ao apresentar uma contradição entre a atração estética das fotos montadas e a consciência perturbadora da existência de um lixo transfronteiras, que provoca a morte dos seres marinhos". Todos os plásticos fotografados, segundo a autora, foram recolhidos de praias e representam uma amostra do lixo existente nos oceanos. (Revista Planeta, maio, 2012).

IMAGINATIVE PENCIL VS CAMERA ARTWORK

Sometimes it just takes a piece of paper and a pencil to alter the reality any way you want and make fantastic art out of it. The Belgian artist discovered that mixing…
The Ivory Coast born artist Ben Heine introduced this original concept back in 2010, with his first Pencil Vs Camera series. He combined pencil drawings with photography, taking pictures of people, interesting architecture or passages while holding a piece of paper with an imaginative drawing that corresponded to the photo in some way.
The contrast between two mediums is even stronger because most of the drawings are done in black and white, opposed to the colorful photo background. Each drawing ads a bit of surreal to the otherwise ordinary photo, depicting wild animals, mythological creatures and other figments of Heine’s imagination.
Since his first series quickly became popular thanks to the web, it was followed by two more, and the pictures you’re looking at are his latest work from Pencil Vs Camera 3 series. Heine points out that he always ads a deeper meaning to his work, using the limitless possibilities of changing the scenery with handmade drawings to make sure there’s a short story behind every photo he takes.

New York artist Michael Mapes creates elaborate specimen boxes by dissecting photographs and then compartmentalizing individual fragments within plastic bags, glass vials, magnifiers, in gelatin capsules and on insect pins. The boxes exist in an uncanny area between photography and sculpture, functioning both as portraits and as fascinating scientific canvases that make you question the the logic behind the organization of each piece.
