Gutes Ex. - Mit Widmung un SIGNIERT von Wouter Deruytter. - Englisch u. niederländisch / belgisch. // Anachronism Abroad --- Arabian Knights --- Circus in Egypt --- Transgenderism --- Brave in the West. // First this: a photo is a prison cell. Time is reduced to a square or a rectangle for all of eternity. Time is stopped. Lips, arms, nerves are brought to a halt. A photo is thus also a lie. It pretends to do the impossible. To bring time, decay, erosion to a halt. A photo is a sin against all the laws of nature. A perversion. When looking for the moment in his past when he first decided to become a photographer, Wouter Deruytter is reminded of the day when the public television network was forced to show Roman Polanski films due to a strike. Polanski belongs to the Hitchcock school, and Hitchcock was the film director who better than anyone else knew how to squeeze an impossible scenario onto film in such a way that it appeared more than lifelike. Deruytter decided to become Polanski. And he remembers to this day that primordial experience which led him to photography: Rosemary's Baby, about the practices of a certain sect. Two dandies, rich Arabs, transvestites, circus people, and cowboys - the photo subjects which Deruytter has brought together in this book, spanning nearly a decade - might at first glance seem very diverse. But in one way or another they are all about the same thing: higher or lower classes, kings or dropouts, people who live according to their own rules, a club of like-minded who are well protected from the rest of the world, a sect which has created its own universe. And if necessary the laws of nature are turned on their head. Men become women, or want, despite the cost, to turn back the clock to a time that is forever lost. Deruytter's subjects consider themselves to be free from the laws of gravity. The art of being here and yet somewhere else, the flight to the fringes, the edge, far away from the world, the urge to escape even from oneself, to another sex or to another time, remains his highest passion. It all began with the street people and prostitutes whom Deruytter photographed during his time as a student, dropouts who whiled away their time in the cafes of that folksiest of the districts of Brussels, de Marollen. At the edge, the fringe. There Deruytter met the transvestite Jem Jender who would become his guide in New York for a new series on drag queens. In their attempts to deny their masculinity, they emerge as personae who appear more feminine than feminine. (S. 7) ISBN 9074377653 Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 850.…
