At Danzinger Gallery there is on display an exhibition with the title Summer Selection. Isn’t that a great name? Indeed, it sound fun and you will definitely want to go and see it, especially when hearing the great names that are exhibited. To start with, they have Tereza Vockova’s photographies. After her highly acclaimed project Two that studied the dark side of twin brothers, the artist comes with a different theme. Still, the light reminds of her previous works, it’s her signature.

Malick Sidibe is famous for his photos that capture moments in Mali. In 2007 he received the Venice Biennale’s Golden Lion for his lifetime activity. The life he captures is fabulous and what is impressive is how effortless they all look. It’s all about beauty and youth and confidence, it’s a praise to the youth culture, and in this exhibition it fits perfectly. Here, one of his iconic photos:

Do you know how it looks your city by night? So you might. But how about other cities? Thierry Cohen is interested in capturing towns by night, when everybody seems to be sleeping. What is disturbing is the sky that is so filled with stars, which are so rarely seen in the cities, because of the strong lights. He is also documenting the moment he takes the shots, as you can see below in the title of the picture.

Chris Bucklow is known for making pinhole photos of silhouettes that look as if the sun comes directly on them. How he does it? It’s a complicated process that starts with him creating a drawing that has the real-life size of the person to appear in the photo. Then he penetrates this aluminum foil and this is, in fact, the camera’s lenses.

One of the fastest growing artists is Hendrick Kerstens. He is famous for photographing his daughter Paula since she was little. The turn came at a certain point, from where his interpretation changed:

‘One day Paula came back from horseback riding. She took off her cap and i was struck by the image of her hair held together by a hair-net. It reminded me of the portraits by the dutch masters and i portrayed her in that fashion. After that i started to do more portraits in which i refer to the paintings of that era. The thing that fascinates me in particular is the way a seventeenth-century painting is seen as a surface which can be read as a description of everyday life as opposed to the paintings of the italian renaissance, which usually tell a story. northern european painting relies much more on craftsmanship and the perfect rendition of the subject. The use of light is instrumental in this.’

Patrick Smith has in this exhibition a very summer-like photo. The colours are so beautifully put together and one can mistake it for a painting.
