Eveninglecture with Eddy van Wessel 29 march

EMOTION

What is the binding element with Emotion.
The world of glitter and glamour.
The world of plastic.
The outer beauty.
The originality.
Primeval feeling.
Purity out of the nothing.
But also the sadness of the truth.
It seems as if emotion has become a keyword.
A sort of truth serum that seperates authenticity from fake.
A truth that is also a very subjective experience.

Eddy van Wessel brings a new bond in the series of cliche’s and half truths that is photographed as a failed deformed reality.
So cynical that bond between all photographers. But that beautiful disarming purity. The original.
Where a wedding couple kissing and hugging each other with emotion expressing love as emotion, where a desolated child shows no emotion in the face in a way it installes emotion.
Are there interfaces?
Are they all truths?

Fascinating thoughts, that war-photography is measured with wedding- photography.
Of course, some time ago, Pat Benetar sang: "Love is a battlefield"
But could it be true that identification leads you to open your eyes.
And if you see it, it's there.
Love is recognized by hate. Beauty by ugliness. Peace through war.

Therefore this letter.
The connection between photographers. A bridge of light.
