From Last Week:

Weekly Post: Yishay Garbasz

British-Israeli photographer Yishay Garbasz uses a large-format camera “to force herself to slow down.” Her project In My Mother’s Footsteps is an exploration of the inheritance of memory as well as a healing process. Garbasz’s mother was born in Berlin in 1929 and fled from the Nazis with her family to Holland in 1933. In 1942, at the age of fourteen, she was incarcerated and deported to Westerbork, then to Theresienstadt. Via Auschwitz-Birkenau, she arrived in Christianstadt and was sent in April 1945 on one of the infamous death marches to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, where she was liberated by British forces.

In the making of this project, Garbasz traced her mother’s path for a year, often on foot, over long distances. Her camera forced her to spend time at each location, watching as the scene developed with the varying light.

I went to quite a few stores this week, and talked to quite a few different people.

Weekly, Lisa Lindvay

Lisa Lindvay captured a series of portraits of her family comping with mental illness. The subjects in the portraits seem to contain empty stares and that causes the viewer to have a sense of how they are feeling. I find this body of work interesting because of the amount of courage it takes to turn the camera on yourself and your family to document the mental state that you are in.

Balarama Heller Sparrow Mountain PT. 1

Balarama Heller is a photographer who works and lives in New York City. These photographs are from his series Sparrow Mountain Part 1. To me, they capture the nuances and awkwardness that take place in this area. I feel as if he does this well and the black and white approach adds the the feeling of the awkwardness that I get by looking at these photographs by giving the photographs less of an identity than if they were in color. Heller's photographs gives this area, Sparrow Mountain, an type of mood that I feel I would get if i were to visit this place. 

LaToya Ruby Frazier

Being recently introduced to LaToya Ruby Frazier I was completely intrigued by her bodies of work and have found an abundance amount of inspiration from her and what she portrays through her work. Though I am surrendering myself to the possibilities of what my series will lead to, I do find a connection between Frazier's work and what I'm hoping to capture. Family is one of them and experience is another.
