Lectures, Italy, Siena, 02 October 2012
Artist's talk with photographer Rebecca Dyer Szabo, part of our weekly series, stARTers: assaggi d'arte. Presentation in English.
Rebecca Dyer Szabo was born in Boston, Massachusetts. She learned photography from her father, who was an architect and artist. Her formal studies were in photography, anthropology, and architecture. She moved to Milan in 1987, where she worked as a photographer for a variety of architecture and design magazines including Abitare, Domus, Interni, and Visual Message. She has had work published in catalogues and books in New York, Milan and Tokyo.
Since 2001 she has focused on personal work including exploratory projects in Bhutan, Burma, Laos, Tibet, Nepal, Jordan and Syria. While her earlier work showed a concern for clarity and precision, consistent with the aims of much architectural photography, her later work is more involved in a kind of obfuscation of the subject and of what is the biological result of seeing, in search of a more emotionally expressive image through the use of increasingly rudimentary equipment and a technique of constructing photographs from more than one image. Her work has been exhibited in England, France, Italy and the United States.
“STARTERS – ASSAGGI D'ARTE” IS AN ONGOING SERIES OF CONVERSATIONS WITH ARTISTS OF INTERNATIONAL REPUTE
EXPLORING ART AS A CREATIVE PROCESS, A MEETING OF EXPERIENCES, A TOOL FOR EXPLORING THE CULTURAL COMPLEXITY OF THE SOCIETY IN WHICH WE LIVE.
