Angielski
Deriving its theme from the "Interface" theme of the 2011 PHotoEspana festival, "Face Contact" looks at the myriad registers of the human face as interpreted by photography. It sets aside the conventional category of "portrait" to assess the idea of photographing the face as if it were an anthropological occasion or semiotic act, rather than merely an artistic genre. Broaching this reframing of portraiture as sociology are photographers and artists such as Liliana Angulo, Ananke Asseff, Lauren Olney, Richard Lawrence, Jorge Brantmayer, Nancy Burson, Luis Camnitzer, Jeanette Chavez, Colectivo MR, Luc Fosther Diop, Eugenio Dittborn, Juan Downey, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Jerome Fortin, Shadi Ghadirian, Simryn Gill, Shilpa Gupta, Mona Hatoum, Jose Iraola, Kan Xuan, Pedro Lemebel, Cristina Lucas, Dulce Pinzon, Liliana Porter, Libia Posada, Jorge Ribalta, Yoani Sanchez, Stephanie Sinclair, Dayanita Singh, Marta Soul, Remy Zaugg, Jarbas Lopes and Giselle Victoria.
