Livre de photographies de Kiki Xue, Potraits - Éditions Skira - Essai et entretien par Denise Wendel-Poray
« Je travaille comme un réalisateur de film : je pense mon script avant ma création. Mais je suis à la fois réalisateur et scénariste », explique Kiki Xue. Également peintre, Kiki Xue est très sensible à l’art de la Renaissance. « J’apprécie ses couleurs vives, ses effets de profondeurs et de jeu d’ombres, et les lumières de ces chefs-d’œuvre (…) J’expérimente d’ailleurs des combinaisons de couleurs en peinture, pour pouvoir un jour les utiliser en photographie ».

Miguel Rio Branco: Maldicidade @ Galeria Luisa Strina, Sao Paulo + Book Published by Taschen
Solo show & launch of a book published by TASCHEN
Galeria Luisa Strina, Sao Paulo
June 5 - July 27, 2019
“As a constellation of blatant urbanity entropy in cities distributed on varied latitudes and longitudes, even though the eye-conciousness does not resist looking for clues to which cities and countries the portrayed spaces were produced in, it is important that, in the face of Maldicidade, the moment in which the eye-skin assumes the impossibility of the task and realizes that the city is only one, after all: about what great cities, if its recent history and territorial extension are taken into consideration, could it be said that it does not know these images?
(…) ‘Murió El Cuerpo’, says the headline on the newspaper held by a boy leaning against the side of a precarious settlement. It is difficult to understand who the original headline was referring to, but in this context, it is the body of the so-called Western civilization which, having achieved unprecedented scale and power in the planet’s history, caves in crushed under the very weight of the ideals it has nurtured”, curator Paulo Miyada writes in an unpublished essay, on the occasion of Miguel Rio Branco’s solo show in Oi Futuro, Rio de Janeiro, in 2017.
“The Taschen version has a new dynamic, possibly a little less melancholy, but placing importance, in addition to the construction, to the complete reading of each image. We see the details otherwise not perceivable in the small format. It ends up becoming a different book. A bit like some jazzy musical performances. As my work was being shown at the Magnum gallery in Paris (1985), it was critically defined by the photographer Denis Stock as if I had tried to create music with photographs: perhaps the greatest praise they have ever been given”, says Miguel Rio Branco about the book.
Since 1977, with “Strangler in a strangled land” and also the exhibition Negativo Sujo (1978), coming from painting and cinema, the artist has begun to create poetic narratives with assemblages made with groups of photographs; already then at that moment, the idea of a single photo, “a decisive moment”, has not been enough for him; the field of the image, according to him, needed a visual narrative context. “A set of pieces can reach a final format in the dialogue among them, just as others, by individual force, do not need or cannot be in sets, they are fully complete individually. The cement that unites them in different constructions is what creates the rhythm and the concepts that complete the works, even provisionally”, he explains.
“My work is like a tide of images that can take different directions, as in a sea of images that create poetic discourses that often unravel their documentary capacity, generating more meaning. They create rhythms and meaning that obliterate a simple proposal of reality. ”
Still on the subject of the book and its relation with great cities, Miguel Rio Branco alleges that “the changes were provoked specially by issues related to the new size and by the city that attracts me, clearly not all, even less by ours that become more and more precarious structurally, but MALDICIDADE came from a mixture of the French expression. ‘mal d’amour’, love pain, and a damned city: sometimes I feel revulsion and, sometimes, attraction. But, I still think cities are on an irreversible path to terror after they reach a certain size, after an exaggeration made of millions of people. I do not think large concentrations of people are healthy; today, they seem to me a great attraction to disaster”.MIGUEL RIO BRANCO

Jean-Pierrre Laffont, Le Paradis d’un Photographe. Tumultueuse Amérique 1960-1990
Les voitures abandonnées deviennent le terrain de jeux des enfants en attendant que la fourrière passe ramasser l’épave, ce qui peut prendre des semaines.
A tous les coins de rue, il y a des espaces de jeux grillagés avec des panneaux de basket-ball. Le gang Savage Skulls adore grimper au grillage et réincarner les héros du film West Side Story. Les jeunes membres du gang sont d’origine portoricaine et, comme dans tous les gangs, aiment être en groupe pour se sentir forts.

Bernard Dufour: Manipulations, Maison des Arts Georges Pompidou, Carjac
« Tout mêler ou plutôt tout se faire succéder pour tout empiler, à la façon du temps dans son incoercible écoulement. Faire : ne rien retenir, ne rien privilégier… Comme si ce que je fais à l’atelier, quand j’y suis, n’était rien d’autre que l’image de ma vie. Devait n’être rien d’autre que l’image de ma vie. »
« Il me plaît beaucoup que l’usage crée chez moi de nouvelles choses, de même que l’usage de telle ou telle technique, inventent comme moi, autant que moi, au même titre que moi, dans une multiplication enchaînée et rebondissante des contraintes, des matériaux, donc de mes mains. »
