Sauer in Amersfoortse galerie 't Pleintje AMERSFOORT - Op de Krommestraat 22 in Amersfoort opent op zaterdagmiddag 18 juli a.s. galerie 't Pleintje een nieuwe expositie met werk van fotograaf P. Sauer. "Zien hoe de wereld er uitziet als je hem fotografeert" Fotografie is nooit zinnig beschreven in taal van buiten zijn eigen vocabulaire. Net als zijn succesvolle producten is het een "zichzelf", iets autonooms dat op vele wijzen kan interacteren maar altijd zijn eigen idiosyncratische en ongrijpbare karakter behoud. Een foto is geen representatie van de werkelijkheid, het is niet eens een representatie van een perceptie van de werkelijkheid. Het is een perceptueel object op zichzelf. Het oog ziet de werkelijkheid niet, de camera legt geen perceptie vast, of zoals Garry Winogrand het zei: "Ik maak foto's om te zien hoe de wereld er uitziet als je hem fotografeert". Galerie 't Pleintje kijkt uit naar haar eerste foto-expositie! Mis het niet! Op zaterdag 18 juli a.s. is de feestelijke opening en Sauer zal aanwezig zijn. Tijd: 13.00 - 17.00 uur. Muzikale omlijsting zal worden verzorgd door bandoneon-virtuoos Gerard van Duinen: TANGO! De expositie is tot en met 26 september 2009 te bekijken. De galerie is geopend van woensdag t/m zaterdag en elke 3de zondag van de maand: 13.00 -17.00 uur U bent van harte welkom! Voor meer informatie: www.heibel.nl of tel: 033-4480473 ![]()

Expected Photo-exhibition with work of P. Sauer at Gallery 't Pleintje AMERSFOORT - At the Krommestraat nr. 22 in Amersfoort on Saturday the 18th of July, Gallery 't Pleintje opens a new exhibition of the works of photographer P. Sauer. "To see what the world looks like photographed" I was supposed to write something about the photographer here, but as much as there is to say about photography there is little to say about photographers. Photography is mostly a subconscious activity, an activity that demands attention and not reflection, awareness and not thought. As Cartier Bresson said: "Be there, don't think, forget yourself". Most of the photographers' job is to see, to forget and to be forgotten. Therefore I will write a little bit about photography. After more than a hundred years of photography our relationship to it is more intimate yet even more strenuous than it used to be. Most of the reason for that is because we want photography to be things it is not. Photography crosses boundaries as if they don't really exist; it not only resists our definitions but questions our dichotomies: Real/Fake, True/Untrue, Fact/Fiction, Objective/Subjective, Art/Document. Photography can perhaps be described as the tentative discovery of a language of whom no one knows the grammar and only few even know any vocabulary, yet it is a language that speaks to everyone. It is a language of contrasts, of shapes, of framing and composition, of sharpness and blurs. It is a language expressed in transformations of light. It is a language eminently suited for the subconscious to express itself, and therefore it is also a language of discovery. Photography has not usefully been described in terms outside of its own vocabulary. Like its successful products it is an "itself", something autonomous that may interact in many ways but always retains its own idiosyncratic and elusive character. A photo is not a representation of reality. It is not even a representation of a perception of reality. It is a perceptual object in its own right. The eye does not see reality, the camera does not capture perception, or, as Gary Winogrand has expressed it: "I make photos to see what the world looks like photographed." ![]() Gallery 't Pleintje feels very proud to have this first photo-exhibition. Sauer will be present at our festive opening on the 18th of July (13.00 - 17.00 hr.). Live music will be presented by Bandoneon-virtuoso Gerard van Duinen: TANGO! Don't miss it! The exhibition last until the 26th of September 2009. The gallery is opened from Wednesday - Saturday and every 3th Sunday of the month: 13.00 -17.00 hr. You are very welcome! Website: www.heibel.nl
