The Correspondents – Fear & Delight, the videoclip by Naren Wilks

This is for my editor friends, the “impossible to do” videoclip Fear and Delight, a great idea and a great technique in shooting and editing for an incredible result, the behind the scene and interview with the director Naren Wilks follows the clip.

Kodak City by Catherine Leutenegger

Eastman Kodak, the company which pioneered so much in photography from the 1880s through the 1960s, could have owned digital imaging; the very first electronic camera was born in one of Kodak’s labs. Instead, they missed that boat, going into a tailspin that resulted in their eventual bankruptcy. Tied to that economic engine, the fortunes of Rochester, New York, the archetypal company town where Kodak had its headquarters, fell as “Big Yellow” collapsed. Catherine Leutenegger’s attentive, deadpan studies of Rochester today explore the face of a city once central to photography but now irrelevant and adrift.

Sono solo illusioni

Queste non sono le tue illusioni ottiche normali. Come potete vedere, queste illusioni ottiche sembrano vive, sembrano ruotare,respirare e vibrare, inviano ai nostri occhi messaggi criptati, facendoci mettere in discussione quello che stiamo realmente guardando. Non guardatele troppo a lungo.
