I tried the online translation site thinking it was dutch, but it didn't translate, anyone know what language this is? Peter Hendricks Photographien sind groß und grell, gehen nah ran, so nah, daß einem manches Mal die Porträts der drogenabhängigen Prostituierten vor Augen verschwimmen. Noch ehe der Betrachter sich abwendet, dreht sein Objektiv ab und fokussiert die Spuren des Milieus im Rinnstein, in der Schublade, kein Winkel, den er übersieht. Wieder zoomt er den Frauen ins Antlitz und erforscht schonungslos, was ihre Umgebung ihnen einbrannte. Narben, Stiche, nässende Wunden. Ãœbersäht sind sie mit solcherlei Makel, der in krassem Gegensatz zur kosmetischen Retusche steht. Doch weder Lidschatten noch Lippenstift können darüber hinwegtäuschen. Dem Betrachter wird gleich klar: Auf der Sonnenseite des Lebens ist kein Platz für diese schattenhaften Gestalten, deren Ende doch schon von Anfang an vorgezeichnet ist. Und tatsächlich folgt sogleich das schicksalhafte Photo wie ein böses Ohmen: die Füße einer Leiche auf dem gerichtsmedizinischen Obduktionstisch, mit dem obligatorischen Zettel am großen Zeh. Der Nagellack der Zehennägel ist längst abgeblättert. ein schlechter trip Die Ausstellung in der „Eingangsgalerie“ des Fotomuseums (bis 25.04.1999) spiegelt das im Steidl Verlag erschienene Buch (ISBN 3-88243-578-X) wider, und wagt wie dieses den schwierigen Balanceakt zwischen Text und Bild. In diesem Falle deshalb besonders schwierig, weil das begleitende Tagebuch von einer Prosituierten verfaßt wurde, von Teschi, die, mit diesem Paukenschlag eröffnet das Buch, 1996 schon starb. Betroffenheit kommt vor dem Fall. Teschi, oder Elke, die von sich selbst meist in der dritten Person schrieb, lieferte eine Litanei ohne Kommas und Orthographie. Ihr Leben ist ein einziger Teufelskreis, immer verzweifelter und gleichzeitig betäubter versank sie in ihrem Elend aus Heroin und Freiern, aus Obdach- und Schlaflosigkeit. Dröge Verzweifelung wechselt mit eingebildetem Frohmut. „Ich lasse mich überr |

Peter Hendricks photographs are large and harsh, go closely ran, so closely that one many a time blur the portraits of the drug-addicted prostitutes before eyes. Yet before the spectator turns away himself, its lens turns off and fokussiert the traces of the milieu in the gutter, in which drawer, no angle, that he surveys. Again it zooms the women into the countenance and investigates protection loose, what burned in its environment them. Scar, stings, wetting wounds. Übersäht are it with flaw such, that stands in blatant contrast to the cosmetic retouch. Yet neither eyelid shadow nor lipstick can about that away deceit. Becomes equally clear to the spectator: on the suns page of the life, no place for these shadowy shapes, whose end is yet already from the beginning vorgezeichnet, is. And actually the fateful photo as well as an evil Ohmen follows at once: the feet of a corpse on the court medical Obduktionstisch, with the obligatory slip of paper at the large toe. The nail varnish of the toes nails is a long time abgeblättert. a bad trip... The display in that „entrance gallery“ the photo museum (until 25.04.1999) the book (ISBN 3-88243-578-X) appeared in the Steidl publishing house reflects ventures against, and like this the difficult balance act between text and picture. In this case therefore especially hard, because the accompanying journal of a Prosituierten became, of Teschi, composes that, with this Paukenschlag opens the book, 1996 already died. Re candor comes before the case. Teschi, or Elke, that wrote of itself usually in the third person, a Litanei delivered without comma and orthography. An only devil circle, more always more despairing and more simultaneously more anesthetizeed is sank your life it in its misery out of heroin and Freiern, out of shelter and insomnia. Drugs Verzweifelung changes with imagined happy courage. „I let me überr |

Thank you. The text is about the Photographer Peter Hendricks, I am guessing he is a german photographer, although I thought he was dutch. Anyway he did this powerful/ beautiful/ disturbing series of portraits on women that are prostitutes and drug-addicts. It follows the women through many phases including death. I can't really find his work online though.... guess I gotta make a trip to the library. |
