More Films to change the world

Lia S. — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 06:56:16 +0000

After “Peace one Day” I remembered many other indeed fantastic trailers and movies I had seen the last years and tried to find them online for recommendation. This is what I love about the Internet.

Thank you.

PEACE ONE DAY
Initiative & Film by Jeremy Gilley

1:21:17

PLEASE WATCH AND SUPPORT!

There is a lot to be cynical and sceptical about. But it is beautiful this exists and it needs all support there is no matter if the “actual goal” is achieved..the things it made happen are what it really is about!

Lia Sáile in C PHOTO MAGAZINE vol VIII

Marlene K. — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 23:52:04 +0000

One of Sáile’s biggest publications up to date is the 2nd appearance in
C INTERNATIONAL PHOTO MAGAZINE, Vol. VIII.

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.

Lia Sáile in Lines & Shapes, Book #7

Marlene K. — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 13:51:22 +0000

This spring 2009 Lia Sáile was handpicked by a beautiful magazine and showed an until then unpublished Polaroid series in “Lines & Shapes connect us“, to be precise, in Volume #7. The artist is very proud to be part of Maria’s and Lena’s (curators) mission of publishing small and well curated book-magazines with contemporary artistic visuals and crafts.

Click here to see a preview. / See the Artist Profile here.

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.

Lia Sáile on ILOVETHATPHOTO

Marlene K. — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 21:19:30 +0000

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.”

Sleepy at Sea

Lia S. — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 14:11:56 +0000

After a dive at the shores of Gozo via a Luzzu (Maltese Boat) this boy and others fell asleep on the way back to Malta from exhaustion of sun, sea and snorkling or diving.

This girl was a bit sea sick, but already when she came back from the dive. I felt very sorry for her. She had a nice smile by the way.

PS: Concerning a previous post about photojournalism…these are examples of images in which I felt everyone was comfortable together and it did not feel as much as a violation. But the doubts and restraints are always there.
