SPOOKY…… So so spooky.. like ghosts rising from nowhere. all those questions we ask when we come face to face with identical twins… On the flip side .. So so BEAUTIFUL.. reminding us of our own individuality. of our preciousness. Works on so so many levels… Profound is how I found it on first viewing and profound it remains..

May you come up with more ideas like this.. Move us more..

I didn’t say they were the same. I said they are similar. Each artist presents a series of diptychs where the image on the left is a vintage photograph and the image on the right is a contemporary person in the same vintage scene. The effect, in my opinion, is strikingly similar in spite of the differences that you’ve mentioned. The projects have the same conceptual conceit and even share a number of graphic similarities. The link I posted is the original, the Burn EPF person is the late comer. This is like when a hipster band comes along and makes an overproduced cover of a classic. Does anyone remember when Alien Ant Farm covered Smooth Criminal? It’s like that- yeah, yeah the new one is more polished in a contemporary, digital kind of a way, but to say it’s better because of the studio work is, at best, a matter of opinion, at worst, an embarrassing example of our tech-loving disposition as photographers.

c.l.e,

Are these two bodies of work really the same, though? Ms. Tibbs’ project is obviously a Photoshop cut-and-paste of recent self-portraiture into old photographs (not to diminish the work), whereas Ms. Werning goes to great lengths to actually recreate the physical scene in the original photograph.

IMHO, the fact that Ms. Tibbs is using only self-portraiture suggests that it is more of a personal journey.

I just ran across this work:

Makes this whole thing seem kind of depressing: such similar work, but the one that came second gets more recognition.

MARC…EVA

as we wrote earlier, all of the 30 honorable mentions and quite a few of the ones who came close (about 50 others) are to be published on Burn…Marc, i would not have recommended a link here just because so much better for our readers to see it as an essay on Burn…kills the surprise….in any case, we will still of course publish…

Thanks for the list.. looking forward to see the work.. 14 of the names are not new to me.. one of them I was hoping would have been among the finalists, ’cause it’s the only one I know personally and of whom I knew would submit, not because the others’ work is less good or important..

Congratulations Marc, so glad that you chose to share your sculptures here, and agreed on the powerful effect they can have for others. My best wishes. Peace.

DAH

wow…totally humbled…honestly…

these sculptures were always for sylvia but maybe now they can help others in some small way to put a human face on suicide and depression.

i think she would be proud…

and again to IRINA…

congratulations!!!

Congratulations, Irina! Brilliant idea and greatly executed. The humour and joy; its play with our need for nostalgia, to relive our past; it all made my heart sing :-)))

Well done Irina. There isn’t enough humour around in documentary photography so I think it’s great that your project has won.
