David LaChapelle Pictures

iD Magazine, 2009

Always controversial, the American photographer David LaChapelle does not stand up to challenge the dominant values, to systematically introduce an element of irony in the work done.

Series "Jesus Is My Homeboy" consists of six autonomous compositions, the photographer devoted to the last days of Jesus' life. The intense colors and meticulous staging of the characters featuring the artist's work, which sets the guidelines with a precision hierarchy, centered on the narrative journey.





The series as a whole, was first shown in March 2008 at TEFAF - art and antiques fair - Maastricht by "Jablonka Galerie of Berlin, with replacements in London (Robilant + Voena Gallery) and Miami (Wolfgang Roth & Partners Gallery).

Again the pose is taken from the creation of an atmosphere saturated with color, suggesting a mix of glamor and eccentricity, which emphasizes the artifice of the game looks and contrasting tones and tuning luminosity. The initial approach to the theme of 2003, with "Last Supper", a witty reinterpretation of the homonymous work of Leonardo da Vinci.

Back on the Nuit Blanche ...

I spent a wonderful evening and late into the night at Nuit Blanche in Montreal last Saturday.

First, I left my apartment around 20 hours to go to the Biodome and see all the animals at night. Did you know that there were two lynx in the cage where they are ... If you do not know, now you know! They are night animals. They were beautiful to behold. Two beautiful big cats ... You should see their legs ... They are huge. Apart from the lynx, all other animals were asleep (except bats). The atmosphere was really different and I'll probably go back next year.

Subsequently, the sports facilities of the Olympic Park were open and if I was informed before I go, I brought my bathing suit to go to the Olympic pools, they were open until 2 am and it was free.

Next I visited the Biodome and the Olympic Park, I went to listen to the Complexe Desjardins free concert by the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal from 22 hours to 23 h 15. Me who likes a little pop classic, it was really good. Subsequently, my friend joined me at metro Place des Arts ... He was 23 h 40 when he arrived and I was so impressed with the world there was ... It looked like we were a week night between 16 hours and 17 h 30, when everyone finishes work and that all students leave the classroom. It was special to do on a Saturday to almost midnight.

We went out to see balls of light outside. Then we walked and went to see the different cultural attractions, free, set around the underground city. All that to go home about 2 am 30. A whole evening ... I can tell you that after a day of skiing and be out later, I was exhausted! Sunday I nothing makes my day because it was my last vacation before I return to work.

I am now back to the reality of the job. For those whose blogs I follow, I'll update you in your messages and maybe write a little note. Good day and goodbye!

Wellcome Image Awards 2011


continues to dazzle us this huge capacity to surprise involving the world of scientific research. The "Wellcome Image Awards 2011" lets us look behind the scenes of building one of the largest medical libraries in the world, awarding a huge variety of images of exceptional technical quality, coming from physicians and scientists.

Wellcome Trust brought together the most significant photographic records acquired by the foundation over the past 18 months and selected 21 works. The award-winning images, ranging from the clinical picture of the life sciences, was presented on February 23 at Wellcome Collection in London, where he will be on display until July 10.

In this year of the Wellcome Image Awards "were awarded special prizes to the photography of David Bishop , a transplant kidney from living donors, and a fluorescent micrograph of Fernan Federici and Lionel Dupuy, which identifies the cell division of a plant.

"It's easy to forget that behind each of these intriguing images there is a complex story of scientific pursuit. We seek hundreds of images of scientists and artists year after year, providing an excellent opportunity to make visible the cutting-edge science and the people who are across the images.
