<DIV>Dateline: Fotofest 2004 Houston</DIV>
<DIV>Tenth International Biennial of Photography and Photo-Related Art</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I take lunch breaks dashing over to one of the many photo exhibits around town. All have been well worth it, but today was so good.</DIV>
<DIV>Video art, 'Riverglass' by Andrej Zdravic, 1997 (at fotofest headquarters on Vine Street). a 20 minute video of the world's cleanest river (said to be), Soca river in Slovenia. A revelation of art as the camera eye was in and around the water, rocks and leaves, color, light, movement, very pleasing. But it was also wonderful to see what a really clean river would look like up 'watery' close.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Elsewhere on display:</DIV>
<DIV>"Shorelines" by Susan Derges, of England where the artist lays large photo paper on the beach at night, and as the waves wash over the paper, she flashes it from atop a ladder. Very interesting results, including color mixes from moonlight and other artificial light sources.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"Shipbreaking" by Edward Burtynsky. large, full-color photos taken in Bangladesh of workers dismantling oil tankers with hand tools, for metal recycling. The tankers are driven full-throttle from the ocean onto the beach where the shipbreaking takes place. The resulting photo essay is of massive rusty metal constructions with small turbaned and barefooted indians climbing around on them.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"O Caminho das aguas" by Valdir Cruz. Waterfalls in Brazil, 2002, sometimes regarded as the 8th wonder of the world, spilling down over cliffs as high as 24 stories. Silver gelatin, platinum and palladium prints.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Show ends, April 12.</DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>I scanned photos from catalog, but don't know if they will come off well as attachments. Will try to send one.</DIV>
