HOME STORIES
In the second chapter, the focus lies more on a territory or an environment that holds an important place in the biography of the artists. Lau Wai and Anne Golaz investigate physical spaces as a form of individual expression. The traces which people have left behind, objects and even the specific ambiance of a room reveal themselves as part of the photographers' identity. The story presented by Zeng Yi Cheng is a love story, a very personal visual poem. All these works also deal with the passing of time and try to find coherence or meaning imatchn a world full of incomprehensible fragments. Past and present are mixed in an intricate way.
Anne Golaz
Born in Switzerland in 1983, Anne Golaz graduated from the Photography Masters Program of the Aalto University of Art and Design, Helsinki in 2013, where she completed her thesis On Photobooks and Narratives. She also studied at the Photography School in Vevey and in 2012 spent six months at the School of Visual Arts in New York.
Her work deals mainly with the representation of rural communities, exploring our evolving relations with nature and our complex sense of belonging to a place. Her series Chasses (Hunting Games) was published by Infolio in 2010 and was selected for the Aperture Portfolio Prize in New York. Her Finnish series Metsästä (From The Woods) was published by Kehrer Verlag and was selected as one of the best Photobooks of 2012 by the Aperture-Paris Photo First Book Award. Anne Golaz is also a member of the Finnish artists’ collective Maanantai, and has contributed to their common projects, Nine Nameless Mountains, published in 2013.
She currently has several projects ongoing mainly between Switzerland and the North of Finland, where she lives. In 2016 she was nominated for the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize and her new book, Corbeau (Raven), will be published by MACK in summer 2017.
Corbeau
Never be anymore
Corbeau is an enigma, an invisible but omniscient character, a mediator between life and death, an observer coming and going from one world to another, from one temporality to another. As in Edgar Allan Poe's poem, The Raven is a symbol of what will never be anymore. Likewise, photography seems to be bound to a moment that is forever gone.
His hands
This body of work covers the period of time from 2004 till today. It comprises about 150 images from the same place, but from a variety of photographic materials, together with drawings and texts and videos – tracing Anne Golaz's artistic exploration till today. The work follows a narrative construction with a story line built in a circumscribed sphere around a central character, a young man who seems sometimes not to be completely out of childhood, sometimes absorbed or exhausted by responsibilities and work. A man looking down at his hands, that seem too big for him, or appearing unsure what those hands are useful for.
Destiny
The story tells of a transitional time, corresponding to the passing of two generations. And above and beyond the rural world that these images depict, they suggest fundamental themes, such as the inescapable passing of time, life and death, mixed feelings of belonging to a place, heritage and complex family links, both supportive and destructive. And destiny, that perhaps takes shape somewhere in the claire-obscure nooks of childhood.
