“L' exactitude n'est pas la vérité” Henri Matisse
| http://www.exactitudes.com/ Rotterdam-based photographer Ari Versluis and profiler Ellie Uyttenbroek have worked together since October 1994. Inspired by a shared interest in the striking dress codes of various social groups, they have systematically documented numerous identities over the last 14 years. Rotterdam's heterogeneous, multicultural street scene remains a major source of inspiration for Ari Versluis and Ellie Uyttenbroek, although since 1998 they have also worked in cities abroad. They call their series Exactitudes: a contraction of exact and attitude. By registering their subjects in an identical framework, with similar poses and a strictly observed dress code, Versluis and Uyttenbroek provide an almost scientific, anthropological record of people's attempts to distinguish themselves from others by assuming a group identity. The apparent contradiction between individuality and uniformity is, however, taken to such extremes in their arresting objective-looking photographic viewpoint and stylistic analysis that the artistic aspect clearly dominates the purely documentary element.

Inspired by a shared interest in the striking dress codes of various social groups, the Rotterdam-based photographic team of Ari Versluis & Ellie Uyttenbroek have been systematically hamstringing such permutations of received identity for ten years. They call their series Exactitudes, a contraction of “exact” and “attitudes”. It’s August Sander and Eugène Atget turned on their heads by Bernd and Hilla Becher - a direct assault on the mythic formula that photography plus the street equals authenticity. By dragging the repertory of the street kicking and screaming to the studio backdrop, the series offers a purposely absurd response to the sentimentality of Jamal Shabazz (“Back in the days”) and the beloved and utterly bogus spontaneity of the photo booth. It’s a perfect fit for an age that’s made the “cool hunt” a corporate pursuit. Of course the photos are starchy and obdurately posed and ever so consciously styled, because there can be no meaningful limit to the cross-contamination between those notions of a authenticity and supreme self-awareness. ��

Vanity Fair Portraits: Photographs 1913–2008
C'est l'une des exposition évènement de l'année 2008 : le magazine Vanity Fair expose ses plus beaux portraits publiés entre 1913 et 2008. L'exposition, présentée au LACMA
de Los Angeles jusqu'au 1er Mars 2009, est passée par Londres et
Edimbourg et terminera son parcours à la National Portrait Gallery de
Canberra en Australie en Juin 2009. Vanity Fair est une publication iconique depuis son
rachat par les Publication Condé Nast en 1913. Sa parution
s'interrompit en 1936 au moment de la Grande Dépression et reprit en
1983. Le magazine est resté depuis une référence absolue et un passage
obligé pour ceux qui font le monde de l'actualité, de la politique, de
la mode et de la culture. Au cours de son histoire, le magazine a
produit certains des plus beaux portraits de personnalités, en
collaboration avec de grands photographes comme Edward Steichen, Annie Leibovitz, Helmut Newton, Nan Goldin, Herb Ritts, Mario Testino ou encore Bruce Weber.
