check out: André Cepeda







André Cepeda's Ontem marks the first time in awhile I was captivated by a project to keep clicking "next", to keep seeing wanting to see what was next, to keep giving the project a chance to breathe. granted,Ontem's cold, punctuated breaths are effaced by a palpable thread of malaise. but like the grand scheme of our hyperthreading, hyperreal world, Cepeda by some turns warily, and some hopefully, leaves room for transcendence, or at least the eager desire for it, in instances if you so choose to look.

check out: Alejandro Chaskielberg



For The High Tide, Chaskielberg joined workers in their fishing and logging labors in the delta, a wetland in eastern Argentina, about 20 miles north of Buenos Aires, to gain an understanding of the people (some of whom had never been photographed) and their connection to their surroundings. The isolated (but not primitive) culture of “islanders” who work the land inhabit the archipelago carved out by the Paraná and its many arms. “The Paraná River supplies water for more than 100 million people, including the cities of San Pablo, Buenos Aires and Asunción. My photographs set out to document the life and work of the islanders."

But what might seem like a straightforward photojournalism concept, Chaskielberg has captured in dreamlike imagery, reminiscent of the magical realism movement in literature and film. “I am interested in the poetic and visual power of the water, and I try to give a magical view of people in their environment,” he says. In many shots, which have a voyeuristic feel, the full moon seems to light the world as brightly as the sun.
