The cover of the March issue of CAMERA AUSTRIA International is from
Alexandra Vogt's new project, published for the first time ever in this
magazine (and on show at Camera Austria Gallery, beginning April 20). In
an essay discussing her works, Jan Verwoert observes that they are
determined by a tension between two aesthetics of photography:
exaggerated enactment and plain photographic representation. Yet it is
precisely such an oscillation between reality and fantasy that
characterizes the world of teenagers and horse farms described by
Alexandra Vogt in her photographs and video works. Other artists'
projects in CAMERA AUSTRIA 77 include Manfred Willmann's work in
progress "Das Land", accompanied by Martin Prinzhorn's essay entitled
"Ideology critique"; Takashi Homma's first publication outside Japan and
a commentary by Shino Kuraishi on his "Tokyo Suburbia" project; and
Manuel Olveira's analysis of the cultural and critical backdrop
underlying the project "MondophreneticT!
! M" by Belgian artists Herman Asselberghs, Els Opsomer and Rony
Vissers. Krystian Woznicki's essay, "Rhetoric of loss of control",
examines the semiotic consequences of September 11 that enable the West
to criminalize anti-globalizationists and have brought on a new stage in
the militarization of the economy of signs.
