Intersections Intersected: The Photography of David Goldblatt

2009-08-17T08:54:00.000-07:00

Over the last fifty years, David Goldblatt has documented the complexities and contradictions of South African society. His photographs capture the social and moral value systems that governed the tumultuous history of his country’s segregationist policies and continue to influence its changing political landscape. Goldblatt began photographing professionally in the early 1960s, focusing on the effects of the National Party’s legislation of apartheid. The son of Jewish Lithuanian parents who fled to South Africa to escape religious persecution, Goldblatt was forced into a peculiar situation, being at once a white man in a racially segregated society and a member of a religious minority with a sense of otherness. He used the camera to capture the true face of apartheid as his way of coping with horrifying realities and making his voice heard. Goldblatt did not try to capture iconic images, nor did he use the camera as a tool to entice revolution through propaganda. Instead, he reveals a much more complex portrait, including the intricacies and banalities of daily life in all aspects of society. Whether showing the plight of black communities, the culture of the Afrikaner nationalists, the comfort of white suburbanites, or the architectural landscape, Goldblatt’s photographs are an intimate portrayal of a culture plagued by injustice.

In Goldblatt’s images we can see a universal sense of people’s aspirations, making do with their abnormal situation in as normal a way as possible. People go about their daily lives, trying to preserve a sense of decency amid terrible hardship. Goldblatt points out a connection between people (including himself) and the environment, and how the environment reflects the ideologies that built it. His photographs convey a sense of vulnerability as well as dignity. Goldblatt is very much a part of the culture that he is analyzing. Unlike the tradition of many documentary photographers who capture the “decisive moment,” Goldblatt’s interest lies in the routine existence of a particular time in history.

Goldblatt continues to explore the consciousness of South African society today. He looks at the condition of race relations after the end of apartheid while also tackling other contemporary issues, such as the influence of the AIDS epidemic and the excesses of consumption. For his “Intersections Intersected” series, Goldblatt looks at the relationship between the past and present by pairing his older black-and-white images with his more recent color work. Here we may notice photography’s unique association with time: how things were, how things are, and also that the effects of apartheid run deep. It will take much more time to heal the wounds of a society that was divided for so long. Yet, there is a possibility for hope, recognition of how much has changed politically in the time between the two images, and a potential optimism for the future. Goldblatt’s work is a dynamic and multilayered view of life in South Africa, and he continues to reveal that society’s progress and incongruities.

All about small money

2008-09-16T06:57:00.001-07:00

In the beginning of working with these pictures, I just wanted to count how much coins I have.
I wanted to spend my time more practically by counting my coins and doing assignment at the same time.

Total was $29.85.
It was not so great budget that I expected, but
I can buy at least a single product in H&M shop or
I can give these coins to homeless without a sense of loss.

That was the beginning of my idea from the pictures.

He has their own unique style in his projects and Build also has his clear identity. His designs make me not to look over them most I did not give them any single glance before. Especially the uses of print medium were very exciting.

Interestingly, Less rain has three beach island resort offices: Sunny Tokyo, Sultry Berlin and Balmy London. Its strong concepts, great design, implementation and endless ideas give me motivation of life. I like its each work for clients and I also respect the way Less rain expresses itself through their website for quite long time.

In the summer of 2006, I was ready to leave for New York City. My last task was a moving sale for my studio. There were a lot of books, furniture, decorative objects and some nice kitchen tools. All of the items I had collected during several trips to other countries. I posted a sign on the wall on the front of my office building: “Moving Sale, #101, 08/15/2006 to 08/31/2006.” Also, I sent e-mails to people whom I had known. I was working on a bit of advertising. For the next two weeks, I took my two dogs with small signs around each dog’s neck whenever I met my friends, clients and acquaintances. Tori was my dachshund and Louis was my cocker spaniel. They looked great. When I was with friends or clients, they would wait for me in front of the cafés so that the signs could be easily noticed. I was practicing promotion. One of my dogs walked around and ate a famous jazz musician’s cheese cake. The jazz musician was one of my clients. We talked about her plans for a dinner show. It seemed to me that I was doing publicity. She noticed the signs around my dogs’ necks. She laughed about it. The effect was public relations. Some neighbors, friends and clients visited my studio. They bought furniture, a group of books and various objects. The effect was a nice sale. However, it turned out that my first sale was not so good. I still had a lot of stuff from the studio in my previous room. But, in spite all of that, it was a great design experience that I had never done before, and now I have only half of them. : )
