RODRIGO ETEM
Untitled Aspy-Thor III, From the series Ser Cosa, Color Photograph

2012

About the Item

Untitled Aspy-Thor III, 2012 by Rodrigo Etem From the series Ser Cosa Archival pigment print on fine art paper Size: 26 H x 40 W inches. Edition of 7 Unframed …this series of portraits that at first glance appear to us as extraterrestrial beings, once we understand the images they become more familiar than they appear, “humans too human” perhaps more human than they appear. And for Adorno's negative dialectic, the problem was given as a human being in a world hostile to humans, the characters of Etem seem so natural to us to the extent that their presence is outside the pose of the portraits of the kings of the past, rather resemble the workers, peasants, common people in general, portrayed by Gustave Courbet or the realists of the mid-19th century, these new realists are captured by the camera in the usual development of their daily lives, in the hostile world of the desert or the swamp or the storm…” —-- Hernán Pacurucú. curator Fragment of the text: A glacial aesthetic. Approach to the contemporary photography of Rodrigo Etem --------- Rodrigo Etem has been investigating and working surreptitiously on concepts that aim to disseminate questions about our daily experience. Thinking today from a certain geography, in terms of territoriality, is being diluted with new technologies, the ways of communicating, and the imposed distances. Etem's pieces, far from being distant in today's challenge, get fully into the field of everyday life and desires. Crossing an entire continent from the screen, creating films without cameras, collecting all the errors of a virtual representation of the world, and making digital images occupy physical space, are some of the clues that can be found in his latest works.

The Turn - underwater photograph - archival pigment print 18x24"
By Alex Sher
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
"The Turn" represents a pivotal moment in contemporary underwater fine art photography, where sculptural form meets fluid dynamics. In this arresting composition, a figure in vibrant crimson appears suspended between sitting and floating, enveloped by an explosive array of crystalline bubbles against a deep azure backdrop. The photograph masterfully captures the intersection of intentional pose and aquatic spontaneity, while the interplay of light through the ascending bubbles creates an ethereal atmosphere. This innovative piece transcends traditional portraiture, exploring themes of weightlessness and transformation that characterize modern submersible art, while the technical precision in capturing split-second motion elevates it to a meditation on human buoyancy. This photograph is a part of the series "Blue Fall...

NO.8
Located in New York, NY
A fan of photography since her early childhood, Mizrakli graduated from Yeditepe University in Istanbul, Interior Decoration Department, and continued her higher education in London, where she started out her work as a photographer. Later on, she moved to New York to further develop her career as a photographer and enrolled in classes at the Photography Department of the New York Film Academy. She received a Master’s Degree in photography in Los Angeles, where she is currently based. Mizrakli has conducted many shooting sessions for Mica Studios and Bullet Magazine in New York and had two solo exhibitions in Los Angeles. She has recently participated in the Contemporary Istanbul Exhibition (November 2013). In some of her black and white works she uses the human body only as a pictorial sign in order to create almost abstract works. First made anonymous, the female model is then cloned and circularly multiplied. The result is a kind of wheel in which the repeated human body gives birth to a new, seemingly vegetal or mineral structure. Thus, the human element seems to be transformed into different other natural...
