View L31 - Michael Sardelic. (Use of photo courtesy by the artist Michael Sardelic)
Photography is not a phone is not intended as an exhibition aimed in the classical sense, but as a working value the development of thought.
As work material was collected the works of three artists: German Heiko Beck, The Italian collective DR. Pork's P-PROJ and Austrian Michael Sardelic.
While moving in different fields, Beck sociological, political DR. Pork, Sardelic psychological, aesthetic and technical approaches and different, ranging from black and white together with the use of the word, the well-kept formally staged with costumes, a very particular approach to photography in actual size modular all these photos are presented as seeds for discussion rather and as carriers of information directly.
At the same time are placed in some public spaces devices that allow passersby to mark a point of view of the neighborhood to take a sort of living picture of a portion of their everyday life. This choice will be set up following the intervention of another passer-by who may choose to share or modify the image.
The purpose of the photograph is not a phone is to discuss the dual identity of the photo, that is a communication point of view of an embryo or independent reasoning.
