    Art from the Land of the Rising Sun

    April 2, 2013 / 1 Comment

    Japan, in comparison with many other countries, is rather small, though it ranks tenth amongst the world’s highest populations. More fascinatingly, it has one of the richest and most eclectic art histories to speak of when considering it on its own. Yes, various countries in Europe do this or that, and Africa has a slew of artistic variety, but we’re just talking one country – 6852 islands, if you really want to talk about how amazing Japan’s universally-acknowledged solidarity is. Continuously infiltrated by other powers (China, Russia, Germany’s money, and the United States), art in Japan has successfully maintained a focused and healthy presence in the art world since the…

    TÊTE DE TAUREAU (ÉTUDE PREPARATOIRE POUR GUERNICA)

    Quand les soldats allemands venaient dans mon studio et regardaient mes photos de Guernica, ils me demandaient: ‘As-tu fait ça?’. Et je dirais: “Non, vous l’avez fait.”

    Allein aus Freude am Sehen

    March 21, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Allein aus Freude am Sehen und ohne Hoffnung, seine Eindrücke und Erlebnisse mitteilen zu dürfen, würde niemand über das Meer fahren (Blaise Pascal) Seien Sie mal ehrlich: Würden Sie ohne Kamera in den Urlaub fahren? Was wäre heute schon ein Urlaub ohne Urlaubsfotos? Ein Reisebericht ohne Anschauungsmaterial? Die im Titel zitierte Äußerung des französischen Mathematikers und Erfinder des Pascalschen Dreiecks, Blaise Pascal (1623-1662), gilt demnach heute so wie damals. Dennoch gibt es einen entscheidenden Unterschied: „Früher zeichnete man auf Reisen, um sich erinnern zu können, wo man war. Heute filmt man auf Reisen, um zu erfahren, wo man gewesen ist.“ Das jedenfalls stellte Albert Camus (1913-1960), einer der bekanntesten und…

    A Love-Letter to the Land of the Rising Sun

    January 2, 2013 / 0 Comments

    For those of us who have never been to Japan, we can only picture the beautiful vista of the Land of the Rising Sun with the help of popular films such as Memoirs of a Geisha, Babel, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Lost in Translation, and The Last Samurai. For me, it was Memoirs of a Geisha which truly began my love affair with Japan.  (Although, Tom Cruise did give it his best effort!)  A hauntingly beautiful story, love, betrayal, hope, the mystery of the Orient: despite the controversy of a Chinese actress portraying a Japanese geisha, I personally feel that Zhang Ziyi was perfectly cast.  To top…

    Más allá de la oreja de van Gogh

    November 12, 2012 / 0 Comments

    En el mundo en que vivimos, el cotilleo anda a la orden del día. Si es sobre alguien famoso, mejor. Y si es algo malo o políticamente incorrecto que dicho famoso haya hecho o dicho, tienes la seguridad de que cientos de miles de personas pagarán por saberlo. Y eso no ocurre sólo en los «corrillos» (donde, seamos sinceros, el nivel intelectual es muchas veces inferior a la media de la audiencia de HMYV*), sino a niveles artísticos, donde un desliz del pintor/cineasta/músico/… puede provocar el ostracismo de un talentoso individuo. ¿Qué hubiera pasado si, llevados por juicios morales, hubieramos decidido que Quevedo no era digno de atención? Pudo ser…
