Brussels Eyes
POÈMES PHOTOGRAPHIQUES
Photography Workshop with teens about them districts
META TAG is a term used in modern photography to index the image content with text, giving informations about pictures etc. A kind of description, a consistent decoding that allow us archiving, ensuring it the sustainability in modern flows. In reference of Tag, it’s also a kind of inner language from urban, where territory and property have a cultural importance. The tag is a trace of contest coming from the street and the term « Meta » means some transcendence.
An important photography essay have been made with teens during january to May 2012 . With Brussels Eyes asbl, we have planned to ask to young people living in some particular districts of Brussels to show what is a territory ?
3 associations working in social cohesion, 3 photographers from Brussels Eyes asbl and 3 groups of teens from North, South and the Center of Brussels have questionned their territory, a strange mix between artists and unskilled youth.
Brussels’Eyes artists have selected some pictures and processed them to give the best results they can. With this contribution a sort of transmission is released.
Goal or intuition
I probably don’t know. My aim was to show art and not a work made by youth with naive pictures.
My fear was to reappropriate the work of them making something other far from what they saw.Only the public can judge it but I found really interesting the way some teens have shown their personnality , putting me far from just reappropriation.
Sample image that you will see during the exhibition META-TAG. I found it really impressvie and georgous. We see a real impact photograph with a particular atmosphere; author inside © 2012 Ayoub from Berchem Saint Agathe District area
