И еще вышивки
В дополнение к двум постам о вышивке и фотографии ( раз и два)

Lauren DiCioccio. Sewn News
As news-gathering departs from paper form and is conveyed instead through the television and internet, the newspaper becomes a nostaligic and old-fashioned object. I describe the beauty of the ritual experience of newspaper-reading by describing the paper as a tactile and fragile object in the language of craft. The pieces in this series are entire issues of The New York Times encased in hand-embroidered cotton muslin. I select a photograph from the paper; usually a strong image suggestive of power, leadership or communication; and embroider the image onto the fabric, applying colors in a painterly way and layering line and thread. Portions of the image remain as outline and threads tangle and unravel from the fabric.
Iris Hutegger. Perception and illusion
For the images I use color negatives, which I developed as black & white photos. Using this method, the photos become more of an abstraction; the landscape becomes “seasonless”. After that I sew (sewing machine) the photos. The photography simulates a reality and documents the transience. The treatment is integrated into the scene. When the viewer is a distance the photo looks like “one” picture. But closer to the photo the viewer will clearly see manipulation. The treatment turns the landscape into a ”real image of fiction”.
Андрей Суздалев. "Москва-XVI или Вышитые дни".
Истоки инсталляции в моих детских тревогах и переживаниях - тогда ещё о Бомбе говорилось и писалось достаточно много. Читая фантастические рассказы-антиутопии или страдая на обязательных уроках НВП ("вспышка справа - вспышка слева"), я часто представлял, как это случится на самом деле...
И в то же время работа тесно переплетается с новеллой «Ивановы вары», в которой занимательно рассказывается о первых на Руси опытах по получению тяжёлой воды: «Клубы дыма, ночные всполохи, подземные толчки … всё это накрепко запало в народную память…». И, конечно, не могло не отразиться в народном творчестве. Однако, учитывая степень засекреченности объекта, эта память очевидно должна была быть вытеснена в сугубо приватную, "потаённую" область домашнего рукоделия. Вышивка крестиком здесь нечто вроде оберега, защитного талисмана, заговора - наивная и трогательная попытка одомашнивания, "приручения" нашего страха перед тотальным уничтожением. Теперь нам не страшно, правда?

These are my first projects using thread in the context of photography. Using gray silk thread, I overstitched self-portraits and created a filigree of threads over my own face. I started with a photograph taken during a performance piece, and stitched over the thread in the photo using real thread.

My idea was to use the photography as a medium of the past, with the thread as a medium for current moments. You can touch the thread on the photography. So you have a real moment of sensation when you are close to the picture, but soon - viewing it from a little distance - you will also see an image in the thread, (it could be a snowball, rain, a figure).
The main question in my work is: What is a picture? I like to put this subject up to discussion. Bringing photography and thread together makes it possible to show what a picture actually is: fiction.
