De l’urbain à l’humain

Ce lit de verdure n’inspire pas l’abandon mais l’attente. Surplombant un échangeur immense, cerclé de tours, il est une butée végétale contre laquelle l’axe historique de l’ouest parisien s’est rompu. Sur ce bout d’autoroute retourné à l’état sauvage, les pierres ne racontent plus rien. Elles laissent advenir l’inouï. Sensible aux interactions du naturel et du construit, Cyrille Weiner interprète cet espace dans sa force de destruction et de renouveau : les poussées de sève font craquer le bitume, le sable fluide détruit des murs de soutènement, les plantes s’agrippent aux parapets de l’autoroute. Tout communique, déborde et se déploie sur ces infrastructures qui façonnent un paysage à la mesure de l’homme. La friche, avec ses emmêlements de plantes, convertit le territoire en une zone libre, ouverte à de multiples usages. Comme rescapés de villes où triomphent le repli sur soi, la propriété privée et l’isolement, quelques hommes reconquièrent ici leur temps, leur énergie et leur imaginaire. Cyrille Weiner observe cette réappropriation concrète de la friche, ces corps et mains qui bêchent, plantent, défrichent et fabriquent le pré. Mais cette réalité première est filtrée, transcrite en une fiction de fin du monde et de paradis perdu. Dans la friche au dessein suspendu, les repères de temps se troublent, ces hommes ressemblent aux premiers et aux derniers.

Marguerite Pilven, octobre 2012

From urban to human

This bed of greenery inspires not abandon but an awaiting. Overhanging a vast motorway junction, circled by towers, it is a vegetal stop against which the historical axe of the Parisian West comes to break. On this section of motorway returned to a state of wilderness, the stones tell no more stories. They allow the unexpected to come into being. Sensitive to the interactions of the natural and the man-made, Cyrille Weiner interprets the space in its force of both destruction and renewal: spurts of sap crack through the cement, fluid sands destroy the supporting walls, plants grip onto the motorway parapets. Everything communicates, overflows, spreading out over the infrastructures that shape the landscape to the measure of man. The wasteland, with its tangles of plants, converts the territory into a free-zone, open to a multitude of uses. As if escaped from towns in which introversion, private property and isolation triumph, a few men here seem to reconquer their own time, energy and imagination. Cyrille Weiner observes this concrete reappropriation of the wasteland, the bodies and hands that dig, plant, weed and hence create the field. But this primary reality is filtered, transcribed into a fiction of the end-of-the-world and a paradise lost. In this wasteland of designs suspended, usual bearings of time become blurred ; these men come to resemble both the first and the last.

Extraits

Ces photographies sont extraites d’une série en cours d’accomplissement : Après tout. Elle sera montrée en novembre 2012 à Paris.
Au commencement, aucun souci d’unité thématique. Si des liens entre les images se tissent après coup, je les assimile à des terminaisons nerveuses. Vouloir parler de la vie de son esprit en plein milieu du monde sans être saisi par le délire, c’est un souci quotidien. La seule question qui vaille pour moi aujourd’hui.

These photographs are from a series is being made: Après tout. It will be shown in Paris in November 2012. Initially, no worries of thematic unity. If links are forged between the images after the fact, I equate them with nerve endings. Want to talk about the life of my mind in the middle of the world without being seized by the delirium is a daily concern. The only valid question for me today.

Castelmezzano

Domingo Milella : A view from Castelmezzano

Outer edges of some buried age. A view from Castelmezzano: rupestrian cultures in the Mediterranean region and beyond

Castelmezzano, Basilicata, 2010

Castellaneta, Basilicata, 2010

On the 3rd of September in Castelmezzano, Italy, opened Outer edges of some buried age. An exhibition curated by Chiara Capodici and Fiorenza Pinna featuring the work of photographer Domingo Milella. The exhibition takes place at Palazzo Coiro, an old aristocratic palace in the centre of the village, and it is visible only by daylight.

Pietrapertosa, Basilicata, 2010

Outer edges develops around the concept of landscape, identity and memory referencing Pier Paolo Pasolini’s notion of Post-history as the acknowledgement of an inevitable clash of ancient and modern times in a society that is slowly losing any sense of community and belonging.

“I am a force of the Past. My love lies only in tradition. I come from the ruins, the churches, the altarpieces, the villages abandoned in the Appennines or foothills of the Alps where my brothers once lived […] Or I see the twilights, the mornings over Rome, the Ciociaria, the world, as the first acts of Post-history to which I bear witness, for the privilege of recording them from the outer edge of some buried age.”

This site-specific exhibition moves from a study on the identity of the village of Castelmezzano and reaches out to the countries and the populations that settled along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea—Italy, Egypt, Turkey, Greece—and Mexico in search of territories marked by a similar ancient history and cultural experience of the landscape.

Acitrezza, Sicily, 2009

In his journey Domingo Milella explores and compares the different expressions of a sense of belonging and community which leaves a legacy that, impressed on the stones, determines the face of the landscape. Territory and identity are considered part of a collective history and memory that connect these cultures throughout the globe.

Domingo selects specific places and stories following a fil rouge that takes him on a historical pilgrimage from Castelmezzano to Mexico via the regions of Southern Italy and the Anatolia. The images of the rupestrian settlements in Phrygia, Cappadocia, Giza, Polignano, or Mexico City all reveal how deeply intertwined the relationship between man and nature has been over the years.

The Arabs took advantage of the natural architecture of Pietrapertosa to preserve the safety of their community. They used to take refuge in the hole of the mountain that overlooks the town—after which Pietrapertosa was named—to observe without being seen. Similarly, the image of the Tomb of Midas depicts the encounter of nature with archaic and modern civilisation. The tomb, as a symbol of the myth, is carved in the stone while a person holding a digital camera stands in front of it photographing the monument. Lastly, Mexico City which is represented as a crossroad of three different cultures—the Aztec, the precolonial and the modern state—all of which indelibly imprinted their own identity onto the face of the city.

The interventions of man shaped the landscape the same way as the landscape influenced the development and the identity of the society.

ISBN 978–3–03747–019–0 KODOJI PRESS I usually find it hard to speak about myself. I always stumble in the paradoxes of «who am I ?». In terms of factual information, I surely appear to be the most well informed person about my own self. But as soon as I need to communicate about who I am, I tend to do it through filters, selecting what I want to communicate, and how I wish to do it, in accordance with my interests and sensitivity. So what can be the objective value of the way that I picture my family and my life ? How much does it concretely relates to reality or not ? David Favrod 2010

The Singled Person

Softcover 15 x 19 cm., 64 pages, Schaden.com 2009, ISBN 3-932187-75-X, EURO 18.00

The Singled Person was originally conceived as a projection for seven screens, viewable simultaneously. Seven photographers are presented in this book, sharing their different visions of the singled person.
Yet, who is this singled person; the photographer, the subject or both?
Whether the subject is physically alone or in a group, everyone here remains in a state of alienation, just as the photographer, no matter how intimate or close he is to his subject, remains alone.

In order to transform the projection into print form the different artists’ works are intermixed, emphasizing the central concept rather then the individual photographer and allowing the viewer to connect emotionally, as recurrent moments of life are summarized, displaced, connected, or just pass by.

With photographs by Michael Ackerman, Morten Andersen, Thorsten Kirchhoff, Peer Kugler, André Lützen, Hisashi Murayama and Filippo Romano.
