ESTetica fotografică în România anilor '80 de Eliodor Moldovan
A history of Romanian photography in the 80’s
[romanian only]
Ca in oricare alt domeniu din Romania pre si postdecembrista, si vizibilitatea valorilor din lumea fotografica precum si criteriile de promovare a lor si de lecturare a productiei lor stau adeseori sub semnul confuziei si a lipsei de informatie.
Lucrarea de fata nu-si propune sa faca dreptate sau sa puna ordine in istorie cat incearca, cu resursele limitate ale unei cercetari de licenta sa descopere cateva dintre mecanismele care faceau ca arta fotografica sa profereze spre sfarsitul regimului comunist una din cele mai slugarnice si superficiale limbaje vizuale din spectrul artistic romanesc.
Literatura si invatamantul de specialitate, strategiile AAF de a controla intreaga productie fotografica, indicatiile “de sus” privind arta foto, organigrame si etici diriguitoare. Cadrul oficial al scenei fotografiei de arta, precum si cateva dintre manifestarile alternative, de data aceasta inevitabil personalizate. Altfel spus, ESTetica fotografica in Romania anilor’80.
