Soth &&

instead of detouring the Eggleston thread:
another Soth, but this leads, like so many good trails to more and more. I've always found that in finding one good person/place I can readily find more. [Ces clichés, hantés pour la plupart par le cinéma]

In this section you will find our different film formats like films, documentaries or film documents, which are available at book shops (ISBN number) or the IKS. A lot of our documentaries - and this is very unique - has been filmed over year before we start the postproduction. Some artists like Candida Höfer, Thomas Struth, Heinz Mack or Otto we accompanied for up to 15 years.

Jörg Sasse

B. 1962, DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY

Jörg Sasse was born in 1962 in Bad Salzuflen, Germany. He attended the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf from 1982 to 1988, where he studied under Bernd Becher. His early work comprises images of display windows and their multifaceted reflections, and still lifes of mundane domestic interiors. Beginning in 1994, Sasse stopped taking his own photographs and began digitally manipulating found images—primarily land- and cityscapes taken by friends, acquaintances, and unknown others. He developed a process of scanning images into his computer, changing them, and then making film negatives of these manipulated images, from which the final prints are made

notoriety isn't real
do I do more of the same

Soth on his "Saying Yes" ---


a 29min video that takes us through his way of increasing understanding. A book he skips, the reasons. Until he returns to it, and the reasons.

This includes quotes and references to material (from and about the 70s)that some will not agree with to the point of dislike.
-- am reminded of a word "humanist" from the video off a recent RIP posting [Sabine Weiss has died at 97.]

Yes, he will do more of the same. Bills to pay after all.
