Download or read book Koto Bolofo Say Cheese written by Koto Bolofo and published by Steidl. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unconventional and delightful, Say Cheeseepitomizes Koto Bolofo's approach to fashion photography These photos were originally published in 2000 in Vogue Italia, then under the helm of the legendary Franca Sozzani, whom Koto Bolofo (born 1959) first met in 1984 and worked with for more than 25 years. Bolofo fondly remembers the exceptional creative freedom she gave him and other photographers at the magazine--Sozzani provided the clothes, they did the rest. And so it was with Say Cheese: Bolofo was given a wardrobe of female swimwear, and with the help of his regular stylist Nicoletta Santoro, he shunned professional models, instead enlisting a vibrant squad of real synchronized swimmers, California's Riverside Aquettes. The resulting images show a variety of female bodies at ease and play--floating and twirling in sparkling, sun-filled water, clad in retro looks, from Great Gatsbyflair to flowered 1950s bathing caps, and each wearing Bolofo's favorite accessory: a genuine smile.

From 12 to 17 September 2009, Bolofo documented life on the grounds of esteemed racehorse trainer Christiane Head-Maarek at Chantilly, France's famous racehorse town.

Bolofo explores every aspect of "horse power" - the physical strength of these million-dollar animals, their cultural and sporting status, and not least their noble beauty.

Download or read book Koto Bolofo Revamped written by Koto Bolofo and published by Steidl. This book was released on 2023-12-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Sophie Conran, designer and daughter of legendary designer and retailer Sir Terence Conran, approached Koto Bolofo in 2012 to document the renovation of the spectacular new premises of London?s Design Museum, he knew he couldn?t say no. Founded in 1989 by Terence Conran, the museum has since become a leading institution devoted to all aspects of design?from architecture and fashion, to industrial, product and graphic design. 0Following a long search, the former Commonwealth Institute, a Grade II* listed building on Kensington High Street, was chosen. With three times as much space as the original premises at Shad Thames, the museum had finally found a home appropriate to its ambitions. When Bolofo began photographing the location in 2012, it was a derelict shell, which over four years has now been transformed by John Pawson and his design team. Bolofo admits he is not an architecture photographer, but he found his vision by conceiving of the building as a?feminine object? and focusing on its suggestive curves and forms. The resulting photos, part documentation and part portrait, announce the museum?s re-birth and will form part of its opening program on 24 November 2016.

Book excerpt: "Museum of Chance is the first publication of Museum Bhavan, which is a collection of museums made by Dayanita Singh in New Delhi. The museums hoiuse old and new images made by the artist. Each wooden structure can be placed and opened in different ways, and holds around a hundred framed images, some on view, while others wait for their turn in the reserve collection, also kept inside the structures. As Singh keeps adding images to the museums, the museums themselves give birth to other museums. For example, the Museum of Embraces comes out of the Museum of Chance, and the Museum of Vitrines is contained within the Museum of Furniture. This publication is a mass produced artist book for the museum by the same name. Each image in the book is a cover image on one of the books."--Colophon.
Download or read book The Prison written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having left South Africa at the age of four as a political refugee with his parents, photographer Koto Bolofo returned to his home country with his wife in 1992, two years after Nelson Mandela had been released from prison. Bolofo got free access to the notorious and by now deserted prison of Robben Island, where Mandela had been held for the majority of the 27 years of his confinement in a cell of barely 20 square feet in Section B. The photographer and his wife eagerly began documenting the site's abandoned interiors and surroundings, dreading the prison's potential closure. Meanwhile, it was converted into a well-frequented museum in 1997 and included on the World Heritage List by UNESCO in 1999. The black-and-white photographs of this volume conspicuously favor close-up depictions of details as opposed to general views: leftover items, barbed wire fences, spacious dormitories viewed through a spyhole, the key in the lock to Mandela's cell (which is so tiny it cannot be taken as a whole)--all this is conveying the gloomy sense of claustrophobia and suppression that characterize the place. The camera is constantly searching for the few rays of light that penetrate the ubiquitous grimness and silence of cruelty.
