Americans Parade – an interview with George Georgiou
“Every image poses the question of American identity not just from the standpoint of our present reality, but from the playbook of iconic images – most of them from the twentieth century – that make up the history of American photography.”

Peter Turnley : The Human Face of Covid-19, New York
https://loeildelaphotographie.com/en/peter-turnley-the-human-face-of-covid-19-in-new-york-city-uu/
Since the start of the Covid-19 crisis, the Franco-American documentary photographer Peter Turnley has been in New York. His photographs show the deeply human face and soul of this moment. Although he has covered most of the world’s conflicts over the past four decades, it is the first time he has found himself in the midst of a war, “at home”, with no visible enemy.

When I reviewed at FotoFest in Houston two years ago, I was immediately drawn to the photographs of George Nobechi. I was thrilled to see him again this year and finally have the chance to share his work. George is known not only for his photographs,but also for his lectures and workshops in Japan through Nobechi Creative. His project Here. Still. in the age of Covid-19, is the perfect antidote to our self-quarantining. By showing us the beauty that is beyond our windows, the project is a compilation of hope, wonder, mystery, and the future, shared with nuance and a quiet regard to landscapes set into perfect frames. Each is it’s own narrative, each it’s own painting, offering us a taste of what will be again.

Daniel Gonçalves (the “ç” sounds like an “s”) came to Houston with expectations of attending Session 2 of the FotoFest Reviews, but as soon as he arrived, he had to pack up his portfolios and head home as Covid 19 had forced a cancellation of the event. One of the projects he brought to the event was 2nd Amendment Cowboy. The series examines America’s love of gun, but also his own relationship to firepower. His photographs reveal a prideful and cavalier culture to gun ownership that remains ever present in the United States today.

I first became aware of Liz Albert’s project, Family Fictions, through Float Magazine’s The Road Exhibition. I loved the vintage diptych (see above) that perfectly described a family road trip that included a bored teenager with a cigarette. Needless to say, I was looking forward to seeing her work in Houston. The artistic use of vernacular found family slides comes from her skilled pairing of images. As she states,”There is a subversive pleasure in working with other people’s family memories and manipulating their meaning by changing the context in which they are viewed.” The work allows us to be voyeurs into anonymous lives and find amusement in the juxtapositions of the subjects.

It was wonderful to see David Pace and the new work he brought to the FotoFest Reviews in Houston. To my great surprise and delight he brought a project from way back in his past, Hawkeye, that reveals the beginnings of his photo career, created as 8-year-old. There is a glorious authenticity to the photographs, moments that capture family, friends, and schoolmates, presented with an innate formality and understanding of the subject matter.

What irony that the world was put on pause just after Juxtapoz attended a party paying joyful tribute to NYC’s legendary Studio 54 club. That NYC became the epicenter of the pandemic and the Brooklyn Museum’s Studio 54 retrospective postponed before it ever really opened perhaps even adds to the mystique of the club itself. What’s just as perverse is that the photographer on assignment for Juxtapoz that night has made a career shooting a particular nightlife scene in Brooklyn, capturing epic shows at House of Vans or underground performances at the types of places that have boosted the borough into artistic renaissance over the last 20 years. I had thought pairing Laura June Kirsch with Studio 54 was like a generational passing of the baton, and yet here we are, on cultural hiatus.

We’ve seen the masks. We’ve seen hospitals and cemeteries. As always happens as reaction to a dramatic event there are different stages, different approaches. Then there is the everyday life. The search for a new normal, new rhythms, something to hold on to pretend that everything is fine.
