"What is a photograph? For me, a fragment of quick-silver, a lucid dream, a scribbled note from the subconscious to be deciphered, perhaps, over years. It is a monologue trying to become a conversation, an offering, an alibi, a salute."-- Eva Rubinstein   In this episode, Antonio vividly shares his recent experience of photographing the recent eclipse. He details the use of a new filter and the excitement of capturing the celestial event, discussing both the technical aspects and the personal thrill of the experience. Ward introduces a German photographer he recently discovered, Holger Nitschke. He describes Nitschke's unique approach to fashion photography, emphasizing his use of film and the distinct aesthetic of his black and white works. Ward appreciates the modern yet timeless quality of Nitschke’s photos, which he feels blend traditional and contemporary elements seamlessly. Antonio then shifts the conversation to discuss Eva Rubinstein, a photographer he only recently came across. He is particularly drawn to her treatment of spaces in her photographs, which convey a profound sense of absence and presence. Antonio reflects on how Rubinstein’s work resonates with his own aesthetic sensibilities and emotional experiences, especially her ability to capture the essence of empty rooms and the stories they tell. Antonio draws parallels between Rubinstein's artistic endeavors and Scandinavian artist Vilhelm Hammershøi's work. The discussion narrates the humanistic elements permeating Rubinstein and Hammershøi’s work, introducing listeners to the sentiments of love, nostalgia, solitude, and the thunderous silence that their images evoke.   Show Links: Holger Nitschke Nitschke Video on YouTube Antonio M.
