Lise Sarfati

Esta foi uma das imagens da exibição de Junho 2007 na Yossi Milo.
Com Lise Sarfati foram expostos: Diane Arbus, Tracey Baran, Valérie Belin, Lee Friedlander, Robert Gober, Nan Goldin, Wang Jin, Seydou Keϊta, Rosemary Laing, Nikki S. Lee, Loretta Lux, Robert Mapplethorpe, Karl O. Orud, Bill Owens, August Sander, Lise Sarfati, Rudolf Schwarzkogler, Malick Sidibé, Alec Soth, Arthur Tress, Chris Verene and Akram Zaatari.

“June Bride provides an uncommon look at a common practice: the marriage ceremony. In this assembly of unconventional wedding photographs, the idea of the bride varies as radically as do cultural differences, religious traditions, family dynamics, and modes of dress. Brides appear in various guises, from Diane Arbus’ bride shrinking from her groom’s overeager kiss to Nikki S. Lee’s impersonation of a Jewish bride, from a bride captured in mid-air, as in Rosemary Laing’s bulletproofglass series, to an earnest, middle-American bride in a family photo by Chris Verene”

Pena que a Milo está tão longe e que esta exposição não tenha rendido um livro.

Um livro fantástico da Lise é "La vie nouvelle"

"In each of these portraits Lise Sarfati dramatizes the complexity of adolescent identy: within unfamiliar territory - both emotionally and physical - where the simplest of feelings become exalted and everything is lived with an intensity that adults will never again be able to feel. We are talking here of a parallel reality, an interstitial territory which doesn´t understan geographical spaces or political systems, which no longer belongs either to a completely real reality or to a conciously conceived fiction, but rather finds itself fed by its own rituals and codes, where the dividing line between good and bad , happiness and sadness, innocence and perversity is extensively blurred."
