I am currently casting for an Art Project in

OCTOBER 2010
in ICELAND

(We could not afford your flight to Iceland,
but everything else, if you live abroad and would
still like to work on this project)

What we are looking for:

* MALE model/actor/amateur
* BLACK or DARK SKINNED
* No experience needed
* You should be comfortable with half-nudes

There is no need for prior experience or a muscular body or anything,
I prefer a natural subject who is comfortable around a camera/small crew in
professional and absolutely creative and family-like atmosphere.

* 3 day shoot with Polaroid and Super 8 Film
* We offer local transport, accommodation, catering and payment.

If you are interested and would like to know more about the project,
simply write to my agent via E-mail:

CONTACT:
marlene @ scattered-sea.com

Please attach if possible:
* portrait
* full length piture (dressed is fine)
* a few lines about yourself if you want

We will get back to you with detailed information on the time frame, payment,locations etc.

Please spread the word and send it to anyone who might be interested in an adventurous artistic shooting with a small crew, demanding and exhausting but rewarding work, being creative and who is happy about new experiences.

Thanks!
)( Lia

2007 I took part in the onlinemagazine 5 to 9 Magazine No. 5.
It had “Polaroids” as a theme. Enjoy!

apologies for silence, but things were quite busy. I’m working full time, made 6 artistic Super 8 Films for “Impossible”, am working on a book (an academic release in German language on the medium Polaroid in various contexts, from cultural, social, political, aesthetical, artistical, feminist and media-theoretical (Benjamin, Barthes, Sontag etc.) context. Also I’m continuing the “Id Dar” – project and the “IN BETWEEN” project and thus am very busy planning and organizing.

In the meanwhile I quickly updated my Bio at Scattered Sea.

Hope everyone is well!
Yours,

The magazine is a heavy hard cover book measuring impressive 13.6 x 9.7 x 1.9 inches
filled with over 300 pages of advert-free high quality photography from all areas and times. It is published in Chinese, English, Japanese and Spanish.

In 2008 Sáile received a grant from C PHOTO to realize an artistic project, which took a few months to be realized, called “IN BETWEEN”, a huge and still growing Polaroid series. This Grant is called C ACTION:

.

“C Photo Magazine has established an initiative to promote creation in contemporary photography. In each issue at least two artists are commissioned for a series that is published exclusively in this section of the magazine. [...]

The series created in this way for the C Action initiative has become part of C International Photo Magazine’s Collection of Contemporary Photography, and will gradually be circulated both within its pages and through other media. The selection of participating artists is made by the editorial team of the magazine, in collaboration with various curators, gallery owners and the photography specialists of private and public institutions.”

.

C received eight Polaroid originals, which will be traveling in their collection.

Sáile worked various months planning and organzing the various shootings and trips, also losing a large amount of Poalroids on the last shooting day in Italy when the bag in which they were kept was stolen on the way to the airport. The second shoot was organized in England and Wales, with the assistant Richard Bevan and the models Simon Reeder and Aishan Yu.

Below are images of the book to show its size and beauty.

The series was created and selected based on the theme which the curators both every time that a new Volume is organized. The theme of Volume #7 was:

” BREAK “

to reduce to pieces or fragments; to dissolve or annul;
to lacerate or wound; to exchange for or divide into smaller units;
to disable or destroy by or as if by shattering or crushing; an Interruption.

The Online Photography Magazine ilovethatphoto apparently loves Lia, as they currently feature
her on their front page online!

Go there to see a selection of Lia’s work and read the interview with her.

Here a small peak at the Interview:

“What gives you inspiration?

Inspiration usually is unexpected, as many things in life. To me it often comes in phases in which one becomes extremely sensitive towards and accessible for things one is surrounded by and confronted with – visually, accoustically, haptic…

[...]

Personally – when not photographing on a specific artistic concept or theme for a project – I am extremely receptive to all kinds of traces of inhabitants in and around their houses/living spaces (for example laundry lines, curtains, furniture, caravans, open doors and windows [...]) as well as the human figure and face in their versatile details. These are extremely nourishing and inspirational to me and continue filling my personal work and professional portfolio equally.”
