The File Arts presents:
Moment / Dirttrack
by Mareen FischingerTwo people on a remote dirt track. A man, talking in a phone, at a discrete distance from a woman in a car, her face streaked with tears. We think we know what happened here, from the woman’s tears, to the man’s detached posture. But it says more about ourselves, this scenario we project, than about what actually perspired. Did he break up with her? Did he interrupt a nice evening out with her to take a business phone call and she just won’t take this any more? Did he have an affair and confessed just now? Did she just panic after they ran out of gas at such a remote location?
The colour in this picture is fantastic; it is the most dramatically and theatrically lit of the series. This enhances the dramatic impact of the scene: it is significant, monumental, the sorrow of the woman vs the detached posture of the man become iconic. But the narrative is not filled in; the image invites us to fill it in based on our emotional response.

The File Arts presents:
Moment / Tramcar
by Mareen FischingerThis photograph can be your action-movie of tonight: a man in a tramcar points a gun at the other passengers: a whole crowd held at gunpoint.
Between these people there are so many reactions; so many ways the story could unfold; I cannot help but think of all these people involved. Each with their own lives, as full and complex as mine, getting together to act out this scene. Each of them acting out a violent and traumatic experience, reflecting on how they would react; making us think of how we would hold ourselves. Imagining how the story will unfold.

Top: Passing through Times Square by Mareen Fischinger
Bottom: Moment / Bedroom by Mareen Fischinger
Most Tumblr users are familiar with the work of Mareen Fischinger, if only because she has provided the standard Tumblr demo photo ‘passing through times square’. Seeing it again I marvel at how diverse her talent is, and how different the superpolished and sharp editions for The File Arts are from the impressionistic NY shot.
You can own an art edition by Mareen:
Download Parking garage on The File Arts.
Photography tells a story in one still moment, the story unfolding as your eyes travel the image. A woman in a parking garage in front of a luxury car looks alarmed at a fast approaching man. You have to look close to see what is happening here…
Parking garage is the second in the series Moment by Mareen Fischinger; an award-winning photographer for advertising campaigns and corporate communication. She explores experimental technical and conceptual possibilities of photography in her fine arts series. Parking garage and Bedroom from her series »Moment« are both available as digital editions via The File Arts.
This edition has a fixed price of $15,- The download includes: the highest resolution of the image available, the PSD source file (1.08GB) showing all adjustments and layers and several wallpaper sized versions. The PDF contains ‘making of’ photos, sketches and a thesis on staged photography.

I recognize a certain erotic intimacy and desire in Astrid’s photos. But it is not a sexy or idealised desire, rather imperfect and tender and real.
It is also there in her edition Palmtree on the File Arts, which you can download for pay-what-you-want.

It is a photograph of a picture on a wall, but this almost feels like staged photography, so different from the Palmtree edition. Cannot wait to see where this is going.

I love how palm tree beaches are used as symbols of idyllic perfect places, the image from contact being an over the top montaged retouched version with its galaxies in the sky. The image of Astrid Hermes could not be more different from the cliché; it even negates the illusion of space by featuring the reflected flash of the photograph itself in the center of the image. I find that a much more intriguing treatment of the symbolic paradise.
Astrid Hermes is posting one picture every day on her tumblr! She started january 1st, so there are already 124 photographs for you to browse through!

Robert Mapplethorpe - White Gauze, 1984
The top is the famous one, nice to see them all together.
I am reading ‘Just Kids’ by Patti Smith on her relationship with Robert Mapplethorpe and it makes looking at these even more interesting
