thank you for posting, 龜-
they're at such an interesting distance from not-ostensibly-dissimilar contemporaneous series, i think; it's almost like they're the same type of pictures but just with additional attention and feeling. especially the portraiture; i feel like that mode's usually reduced, now, to this kind of glazed gaze meant to connote sincerity or connection, somebody's open expression toward the camera. they seem just fuller. sometimes this slight tillmans colour feel.

Sorry, I’ll desist. I just think, for those not familiar with RK's books, her tumblr may give a better idea of her sensibility than most of the RK images available on the web. Google image search on RK can sometimes seem so “pretty,” and that’s not how I see her, at all (though her work is beautiful). I see her work as phenomenological/ existential, and in the tradition of the haiku.

edit to: Google image search on RK can sometimes seem so “pretty,” almost twee, and that’s not how I see her, at all

fantastic. love "margret" & her gazes back to the camera; the obsessively chronicled banal/poignant details by the unseen unreliable photographer; that amazing hair. wish they'd publish another edition of the book someday

In September 1970, the diary entries set in, with precise descriptions of what happens during foreplay and then of the sexual act itself, but also mentioning all kinds of things happening besides. All this is meticulously typed, in red and black ink, as by a bookkeeper of his own obsession. The couple go on "business trips" in Günter's Opel Kapitän, stay at spa hotels and visit the casino in Wiesbaden. Then the trysts begin to take place in an attic flat in Günter's store building. Nobody is supposed to know, but people must notice something. Margret prepares roulades and redfish filets with cucumber salad. They drink Cappy (orange juice) with a green shot (Escorial, strong liquor) and watch "colourful television." Margret dresses for him in the clothes he has bought her. He, the perfect lover, in truth is a macho man who wants to have everything under control. She enjoys his attention, his generosity, is happy to let herself be manipulated, is jealous, becomes pregnant despite the pills, and has an illegal abortion − for the third time in her young life. Just before Christmas 1970 the reports and photographs break off. The relationship appears to be at an end. Margret is scared. She tells him that "after Christmas the fucking will be over and you will not dance at two weddings anymore." He gets involved with other women. These are no love stories, though, just obsessive sexual romps, chronicled nonetheless in hundreds of grotesque documents testifying to the stuffy German milieu in the early years of the Kohl era.

yeah, fascinating stuff, thanks gr80. margret's hair really is extraordinary, and that picture of her against the red flock wallpaper is perfect.

From the Kubrick thread

ruth on the phone, http://www.nigelshafran.com/pages/ruth_phone_pages/001ruth_phone.html / http://toysandtechniques.blogspot.ca/2015/01/nigel-shafran-ruth-on-phone.html

those are both lovely

such lightness of touch, delicacy, understatedness, apparent casualness, gives them more epiphanic power

hirano takaci’s “etude" reminds me a bit of rinko kawauchi's "cui cui"

much as i love photobooks, there’s different potentialities to the longform photo diary as genre (and other internet forms, cf. ilp favorites unchanging window & internet history)

been thinking of different genres/ media for organizing/ presenting photographs

there’s nothing like the intimacy of a book, or the look of a photograph on a page (screen images don’t invite you to linger, quiet & still, don’t entrance like printed images do— i think)

yet i resist/ resent “projects” as organizing principle

maybe internet provides more freedom to juxtapose, essay in different ways— diaries (not necessarily personal), poems, short stories, doodles, stray thoughts, discontinuous glimpses

on the other hand, maybe internet enforces regime/dichotomy of photographic projects vs democratic flickriver, so most photobooks now are “projects” realizing “artist statements”
