Roberto Kusterle (1948, Gorizia, Italy) is a self-taught photographer and artist. He has been active in the field of visual art since the 1970s, initially taking up painting and installation work. In the late 1980s, he became interested in photography, which soon became the main medium for his artistic expression.
fwiw Kusterle is one of the several spellings I found in galleries that exhibit his work. Many people spell their names "mistakenly." My own great grandfather, former "subject of the King of Hungary" spelled his name in one of the ways his name (Heiduska) is found in scholarly Hungarian websites.
I wonder if AgX and King (assumed names?) had responses to Kusterle's photos?
Also...what about his videos? Seems to me that his videos may be stills-in-motion.

So far, I haven't looked at your link, but I usually get to your photographers links, and generally find them at least intriguing.
And as for the surname, it would be news to me if it is assumed - were my parents fibbing to me for all those years?
It came via my Dad, Leonard King - if you are interested, with dispensation, Sean permitted me to start an In Memoriam thread here upon his passing.

Kusterle... stills-in-motion "at least intriguing" way more trippy than any street photography...IMO.

@MattKing Are you facing an identity crisis triggered by this thread? What can we do to help?

Matt's in an unusual position for an important person at Photrio. He seems to find it tempting to think about some of the essentials in photography, isn't a mere collector, camera fanboy, or darkroomer.
He may struggle to read this (isn't necessary!)...I may also...maybe it's the kind of thinking real art (photo) critics sometimes engage in.

one of Kusterle's critics. does it ring any bells? I take a blind man to breakfast once a week.
"The eyes of the
humans do not see: sometimes, whitened by a great obstructive papule, they offer sight as a sacrifice, as a gift of love (Blind for You) or they are hidden (The Shy Grape-Picker), look elsewhere (The Angel of the Night), are closed (Ancient Friendships), entombed behind disturbing prostheses (Contact Lenses, The Swimmer of Meadows) or they negate their function (Fear of the Light). The closed eyelids might hide the absence of the eyeballs, which we might imagine to have fallen back, with the clatter of pencils or glass marbles, thanks to some hidden counterweight mechanism, as those old vacant, chubby dolls would do when you lay them on their back. The blindness of the eyes,
their closure, the impossibility of communion between the gazes, directs our gaze to the body, particularly towards the incomparable splendour of the female body. "

Without the misspelling I may not yet have looked at your thread. You dig up a lot of interesting photographers, but typically looking at all these takes time, I just may remind you at the Teheran gallery...)
For the Kusterle site you linked to his videos, now I wonder why instead you ask about his photographs.

I'm intentionally not responding to the first part of your post - one of the other moderators or Sean may decide otherwise.
And as for the excerpt, I'll agree that it is a struggle.
Seems to me it is at least partly the result of the usual challenge - how to reduce to words that which is best not dealt with using words. I wondered as well if the excerpt may be a translation.
I was able to spend a few minutes looking at your link.
The videos I looked at are interesting, but not as interesting to me as the still photography. That isn't unusual for me. I love good cinematography, but stand alone videos often don't interest me as much. I expect that is because I prefer it when the visual is interwoven with other things like sound or story or character.
Me to. When I finally get around to making moving films I will defiantly keep that in mind.
This style of visual art is very generic to what I see at the local state gallery. I prefer MTV vids,

At 78, and being so much older in MTV era (and not into disco) I was always too young for MTV.
What is a "local state gallery"?

Somehow I avoided both. But it's interesting to learn that someone in Australia was into them. Me, I was so much older then...
Crimson flames tied through my years
Flowing high and mighty trapped
Countless fire and flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon", said I
Proud 'neath heated brow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate", I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull, I dreamed
Romantic flanks of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
In a soldier's stance I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
Sisters fled by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
My guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now

Awty...do you mean "Byrds"?
Do you mean to say that Aussie "art vids" are stuck in 1929?
That's an amazing video...thanks !
