16 July 2005

Miroslav Tichy's universe * is made of female figures -- the photographer captures women strolling through the city, sunbathing by the swimming pool, chatting with neighbours, or going shopping. Other women are photographed from the TV screen. Sometimes they are unaware of the observer, sometimes unopposed, sometimes angry. In a nearly obsessive manner, equipped with self-made cameras build from scraps such as metal plates, crown caps, rubber bands, cardboard, scotch tape and plexiglass, 79-year-old Tichy has built a, ahem, body of work that will be shown at the Arles Festival and in Berlin.

Creepy.

I'll put on my art critic drag when I go and look at them, but my initial reaction can't help but be a bit.... eeeew.

Creepy as a corpus, but individually quite loving, in a sweet, total-stranger, stalkerish way.

Great find, matteo; very compelling.

Man, a friend of mine was just telling me about Tichy last night. Thanks for posting this, matteo.
