Guido Castagnoli - Provincial Japan
The series of photos, titled Provincial Japan, were taken in the Shizuoka prefecture in spring 2007. The work explores the urban landscape of small towns and challenges the stereotypes people have of contemporary urban Japan. Far removed from the caos of the megalopolis as well as from the minimalism often associated with Japanese culture, these photos portray a surrealistic landscape where excess and the bizzarre naturally merge with an atmosphere of quiet and refined suspension. All the photos were taken using an 8x10 inches large format camera.
Guido Castagnoli
After reciving his diploma in Advertising Graphics and Comunication, Castagnoli began his professional career as art director of a prominent advertising agency in Milan. His interest in photography began when he shot his first images using an old family-owned Leica. During the following years, he left his position at the advertising company to devote himself entirely to photography. He currently works as a freelance photographer, mainly in the advertising sector. His work have been exhibited in pubblic and private institution in Italy, Germany, England and Japan.
Was born in Turin, Italy in 1976. He lives and works in Genoa. Is represented by Sasha Wolf Gallery, New York City.

La settimana italiana / Italian week
You know all roads lead to Rome? Remember the Roman Holiday? Or are you a fan of The blow up by Michelangelo Antonioni?
Have you heard a story of the italian photographer Tina Modotti, an actress and a poet, Edward Weston’s lover, figure in Diego Ribera’s murals…? Have you seen any pictures or heard a story by Piergiorgio Branzi – photojournalist of Europe from 50’s? Have you seen one of the 150 books with pictures by Gianni Berengo Giardin? Have you noticed the great documentary and architecture pictures by Gabriele Basilico? Or have you ever solve Ugo Mulas’ conceptual games on photography?
If no… then you need to browse on gurgle, cause we won’t talk about the legends.
This week I invite you to have a trip to Italy, nowadays. From Milan to Trapani, and even further from London to Chile and Japan. Each day another photographer will be shown here. Let’s have the italian week of photography. Equisite frames, bright shades, tasty colors and…
If you're a frequent Fblog visitor, you may have noticed these photographers :)

Ciao, saluti, abracci, bacci e buon viaggio ☺

invited photographer: Adou
A few weeks ago I discovered Three Shadows Photography Art Centre, the first art centre for contemporary photography in China. It's situated in Beijing and founded by the Chinese photographer Rongrong and the Japanese photographer Ms. inri. I can strongly recommend their homepage, where one can, among other things, get an overview over their artists and exibitions.
With the aid of Three Shadows Photography Art Centre I am now very happy to have the possibility to present Adou, a very interesting photographer.
Man Clutching Goose © Adou, 2006"There is no difference between taking a picture of others and myself. The camera may be pointed outward, but whether you like it or not, it always reveals you."
– Adou
Children in Front of Backdrop © Adou, 2006
Two People, Two Trees © Adou, 2006"Adou’s photographs of the Yi ethnic minority go beyond documenting the realities of life on Sichuan’s Da Liang Mountain. The landscapes and portraits in the series “Samalada” are more like self-portraits, reflections of the self and meditations on life and death, past and present. Adou’s use of expired rolls of film creates mottled textures and anomalies, which evoke a melancholic nostalgia for the past. These works do not speak for, or explain the situation of the people depicted, but rather become part of the artist’s visual language for self-expression.
Adou was born in Mianyang, Sichuan Province and graduated from the Fine Arts Department of Sichuan Aba Normal College. He has worked as a Design and Creative Director in advertising, and currently lives and works in Chengdu, Sichuan Province." (Three Shadows Centre)

Grey Street
But then the roads in the park fall And then he rode the line in
And the colors mix together to grey
And break me out
Anaconda
Baby finger on the triggerBaby shot formaldehyde
Turn into a marble figure
Turn the matter dead inside
Turn into a China doll
Maybe go to the final ride
Baby go where I don't follow
Baby to the other side
equipment: hasselblad, tri-x, saliva, ovenpaper, viradon, plastic foil and some inspiration from The Sisters of Mercy.
Good (F)riday, everyone!
The Daily Print today is a trillium. The project moves forward, with many thanks to all my F Friends!
