Alors que se brodent autour des clichés d'Alice Liddell, prises par Lewis Caroll, de sombres histoires, Irina Ionesco, inspirée du XIXe, photographie sa fille, dans des poses suggestives. Sally Mann, quant à elle, donne à voir des enfants, chez qui la séduction se fait tout aussi latente. Elle choisit également le noir et blanc, et certaines de ses prises évoquent, à l'instar d'Irina, les prémices de la photographie. David Hochbaum, plus romantique, semble s'amuser à revisiter, le fameux récit de Caroll. Mélangeant collages et photographie, il plonge ses héroïnes, dans un décor onirique, empreint d'un romantisme désuet. Une vision plus douce, et moins controversée de l'enfance, aux antipodes du fameux cliché de Gary Gross où Brooke Shield, alors âgée de 10 ans, se mue en playmate seventies.
C'est à la fois sublime, et terriblement dérangeant. J'adore.
While dark stories are woven about Lewis Caroll's pictures of Alice Liddell, Irina Ionesco, inspired by the 19th century, takes pictures of her daughter posing suggestively. Sally Mann also presents children hinting towards seduction. She also chooses black and white and some of her shots, like Irina's, remind us of the beginnings of photography. David Hochbaum, more romantic, seems to enjoy revisiting the famous tale by Caroll. Using both collage and photography, he immerses his protagonists in a dreamlike setting marked by old-fashioned romanticism. A smoother, less contoversial vision of childhood, light-years away from the famous picture of Gary Gross wher Brooke Shield, then aged 10, turns into a 1970s playmate.
Is is both sublime and terribly disturbing. I love it!
