“Mais uma vez a fotografia valia mais do que mil palavras: a cara de Alfie!”

Opinião de Ferreira Fernandes no Diário de Notícias

“Qualquer que seja o modo por que o faz, a fotografia coloca sempre problemas de semelhança. Trata-se de criar e de reconhecer a relação entre uma coisa que se tornou imagem e a própria imagem.”

Maria Filomena Molder
in catálogo da exposição Bernard Plossu 1963 – 1993, AFAA e Bernard Plossu, 1994.

“Como definir o que nos prende em certas imagens? Parecem resumir situações em que não participámos, mas em que poderíamos ter estado envolvidos. Solicitam-nos, são verdadeiras, mas engrenam em ficções, franjas no limite do real e aproximam-se dos sonhos. Acrescentam dimensão imaginária à força que sobre nós exerce aquilo que foi. É preciso ir mais além do que pode ser reconhecido. Nem as cenas nem as paisagens estão petreficadas ou congeladas; o ar circula entre os seres e as coisas.”

Philippe Arbaïzar
in O País da Poesia – Bernard Plossu, Centro Português de Fotografia, 1999.

Buraco de Agulha

“If I like many photographers, and I do, I account for this by noting a quality they share – animation. They may or may not make a living by photography, but they are alive by it.
I think for example of a friend who, when I was a young man, sometimes took pictures along country roads while sitting half up out of the sun roof of his moving car, steeringwith his feet. You couln’t argue him out of this practice because the rationale was to him so clear – the view. And aparently he was meant to do it, because over the years he went on to assemble a vast photographic celebration of Colorado life. When I hear his voice on the phone now, full of avidity even in old age, I promise myself that I will take grand, unsafe pictures.”

Robert Adams in Why People Photograph, Aperture, 1994.

“Robert Adams’s black-and-white photographs document scenes of the American West, revealing the impact of human activity on the last vestiges of wilderness and open space. An underlying tension in Adams’s body of work is the contradiction between landscapes visibly transformed or scarred by human presence and the inherent beauty of light and land rendered by the camera.”
