 Photography Art Cinema. Revisited Stay expands a traditional connection through new facets Interwoven between the media of photography and film is a veritable mesh-work of technical, motific, metaphorical and personal interrelationships. Extending from photo-film which, as in La Jetée by Chris Marker (France, 1962) is a montage of single, unmoving photographs all the way to the portrayal of photographic motifs in Hollywood cinema―most recently in Memento (USA, 2000) and One hour photo (USA, 2002)―is the range of filmic-photographic interactions on the one hand, and from the adaption of modes of cinematic production to the imitation of film stills on the other. For instance, with the legendary Untitled Film Stills (1978) of the American artist Cindy Sherman, who later made her debut as a film director with Office Killer (USA, 1997) and thereby, like many others, changed sides: Wim Wenders, Robert Frank and Larry Clark are doubtlessly the most successful of these photographic-filmic border crossers. This brief survey provides only a vague indication of the dimensions of this intermedial field, which in fact extends much further and is constantly being cultivated. Also as a motif in film, photography has experienced a historical transformation: Photographers were once considered to be technicians who mastered a craft but never achieved the status of artists. Photographer-figures were caught in the allure of beautiful appearance, incapable of penetrating to the actual essence of things. Such depth was reserved for literature or painting. When photography in film touched upon the sphere of art, then most often as its contrasting model, as the metaphor for a superficial access to the world. Coming to mind are Fred Astaire as a singing fashion photographer in Stanley Donen’s musical film Funny Face (USA, 1957), or the restless lifestyle-photographer in Michelangelo Antonioni’s genre-classic Blow up (GB, 1966). For the doubting Thomas, only that exists which can be photographed. He ultimately enters the world of fantasy and thereby the field of art only unwillingly, when he becomes entangled in the world of his images. The last of his detail-enlargements shows only the photographic grain and has lost all connection to reality. The photograph looks as if it had been painted by Bill, the painter who is both friend and antagonist to the protagonist.

 Photography as Art It was first around the end of the last century that numerous filmmakers discovered photography as a genuine art form. In The Bridges of Madison County (USA, 1995) a sensitive Clint Eastwood stands, camera in hand, on the threshold of artistic status, and in Smoke (USA, 1994) a tobacco merchant ripens into a philosopher through his involvement in photography. Finally, in John Water’s parody of the art market, Pecker (USA, 1998), a provincial tom-fool is hyped into celebrated stardom amid the New York art scene because of his blurred snapshots. This film about a postmodern Kaspar Hauser in photographic art (with clear parallels to Richard Billingham, the British shooting...

Not mounted. "Renée's Dream XV (Days of Heaven)" by Stefanie Schneider is a captivating black and white Polaroid artwork that transports viewers to a surreal and haunting dreamscape. This piece is part of the larger 29 Palms, CA project and was created in 2006. In the foreground of the photograph, a woman is seen riding a horse bareback. The horse is facing the camera, and the woman's presence on its back adds a sense of both vulnerability and power. It's a striking image that conveys a connection between the woman and the horse, and it hints at a deeper narrative. To the left and center of the composition, two young men stand. Neither of them is wearing a shirt, and the one on the left is holding a long rifle, as evidenced by the stock of the butt visible in the photograph. Their bare torsos and the presence of the rifle introduce elements of tension and mystery into the scene. Above this enigmatic tableau, a foggy mist shrouds the sky, creating an ethereal and dreamlike atmosphere. Within this mist, there are several anomalies, most notably three distinct orbs floating high in the sky. Each orb is surrounded by a halo-like effect, resembling the appearance of cells. This connection to the three people in the photograph suggests a deeper symbolism or connection between them. In addition to the three prominent orbs, there are numerous smaller dots scattered throughout the air, each slightly lighter in shade. These smaller dots add to the dreamlike quality of the image, creating an otherworldly and mysterious ambiance. Overall, "Renée's Dream XV (Days of Heaven)" exudes a haunting feeling that permeates the viewer's experience. The juxtaposition of the woman on the horse, the shirtless men...

Find Figurative Photography for Your Home or Office

Life becomes art in figurative photography. Shared moments are captured and history is recorded in images of people and their lives.

Figurative photography is often used to describe a kind of photography in which people are the subject. Early black and white photography of people can be a glimpse into a past century — witness the celebrated work of photographers such as Ansel Adams or lesser-known artists like Berenice Abbott, for example. The cultural and social standards of the time are captured in these figurative photographs.

Mid-century photos might show the life and fashions of the day, sometimes with the shared thread of humanity, joy and love. Indeed, figurative photographs can be a source of inspiration and wonder, speaking of common life experiences and beauty. Vintage photos of celebrities and iconic actors can be valuable keepsakes as snapshots of a bygone era.

Just as if you were bringing paintings, prints or drawings into your space as part of the decor, there are many ways to arrange your figurative photography. Large photos can be statement pieces in a room. Smaller photographs can be placed on bookcases or on compact wall spaces to add an artistic element to a living room or a bedroom.
