I samarbeid med Temareiser Fredrikstad arrangerer fotografene Linda
Cartridge og Tine Poppe nok et 14-dagers workshop i fotografi og Photoshop i
Rajasthan ("Kongenes land"), India i 10.02 - 25.02. 2013
Denne gangen drar vi til "den blå byen" Jodhpur. Jodhpur
er byen hvor den verdensberømte fotografen Steve McCurry har tatt mange av sine
beste bilder. Byen ligger i den østlige delen av Thar-ørkenen. Den var
tidligere hovedstad i en fyrstestat med samme navn og har fått tilnavnet
"blå byen" pga den blåmalte bebyggelsen rundt det gamle fortet
Mehrangarh (fra 1459). I løpet av kurset tar vi en 3-dagers tur til Nagaur
Cattle Fair, hvor kjøp og salg av kameler med pantomimer, kamelrace, dans og
utkledning foregår. Dette er en reise mange hundre år tilbake i tid - en
opplevelse for livet! På veien tilbake til Delhi stopper vi tre dager i Mandawa
- en landsby som en gang var et stoppested for karavanene på vei til Kina eller
Midtøsten. Landsbyen har mange havelis - gamle herskapshus med vakre fresker og
utsmykkede vegger med motiver fra lokale legender og hinduistisk mytologi - og
et yrende landsbyliv.

Rajasthan
This state of kings and kingdoms has
witnessed all the brave Rajputana kings who lived here once and their royal
sense has still been kept intact in the heritage and the culture of the state.
In november 2012 I gave a workshop on street photography in Rajasthan, Chomu, Pushkar and Mandawa. With Norwegian photographer Tine Poppe.
Pushkar
Brahma
dropped a lotus flower on the earth – so say the epics – and Pushkar floated to
the surface. This pond-sized Hindu pilgrimage town is a magical desert-edged
place, with one of the world’s few Brahma temples. Rows of sacred ghats front a
mystically magnetic lake, where hundreds of milky-coloured temples and
weather-touched domes sit beneath a shifting, pale grey sky.

In water, on it, below or sideways Linda Cartridge she comes up with her
mental eye and technology by creating spaces of vitality and poetic suggestion.
For a year and a half the artist was submerged in pools with different
models for an experience of prenatal, primary and basic. The works are intended
to attract viewers to the female germ broth has created. It is an invitation to
return to float with the intention to suggest freedom of the primitive, that
they only have the fluids of the fetus and mother, it should perhaps be felt in
the original big bang, creating cracks, breaks and new rebirths.
Venus floating is a sample of photographs taken in Buenos Aires, Montevideo and Oslo which exceeds, in the way of work, the genre. Using analog photography made films as a first material, manual intervention will subsequently work on the negatives, photo by photo on camera, on camera, resulting in works based on the picture and end up in other genres.
Her iconic Hasselblad is like a pencil with which Boceta basic lines of the final photos. Craft touches and some digital intervention timely, necessary poetry reaches to say what you mean. She has succeeded in changing the medium, leaving the air by the mother liquor, leading to feminine strength, subtle and without interruption at release sites where we seem to have been to.

En el agua, sobre ella, debajo o de costado Linda Cartridge se nos
aparece con su ojo mental y tecnológico creando espacios de vitalidad y de
sugerencia poética. Durante un año y medio la artista se ha sumergido en diferentes
piscinas con sus modelos para vivir una experiencia prenatal, primaria y
básica. Los trabajos tienen la intención de atraer al espectador a ese caldo
femenino germinal que ha logrado crear. Es la invitación a volver a flotar con
la intención de sugerir la libertad de lo primigenio, aquella que solo tienen
los fluídos del feto y su madre, la misma que quizás debió palparse en el big
bang original, crujidos de creación, de rupturas y nuevos renacimientos.
Venus flotante es una muestra de fotografías tomadas en Buenos Aires,
Montevideo y Oslo que superan ampliamente, por el modo de trabajo, el género
fotográfico. Utilizando la fotografía analógica hecha con
películas de cine como primer material, trabaja posteriormente con intervención
manual sobre los negativos, haciendo foto sobre foto, cámara sobre cámara,
resultando así obras que parten de la fotografía y terminan en otros géneros.
Su icónica Hasselblad es como un lápiz básico con
el cual boceta las líneas de las fotos finales. Con toques artesanales y alguna
intervención digital oportuna, llega a la poesía necesaria para decir lo que
quiere decir. Ha logrado cambiar el medio, dejando el aire por el líquido
madre, llevándonos con fuerza femenina, sutil y sin interrupción, a espacios de
liberación donde nos parece haber estado ya.
