This spring 2009 Lia Sáile was handpicked by a beautiful magazine and showed an until then unpublished Polaroid series in “Lines & Shapes connect us“, to be precise, in Volume #7.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.

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.”

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.
Lia Sáile’s series “In Between” and a few other Polaroids were featured in the “Epilogue” Project this summer.
