7th Rencontres Internationales de la Photographie de Ghar el Melh7th International Meeting
Photograph of the Ghar El Melh
1st – 5 July 2009PROGRAM
.
.Les Rencontres Internationales de la Photographie de Ghar El Melh no longer an event, they entered the habits of Tunisians, as the Festival of Carthage, or Kélibia Mahres. The most notable being the name of the shortcut, if you go to Tabarka is to listen to jazz, El Jem to enjoy Symphonies at Ghar el Melh is obviously photography that s question. Ghar el Melh, a majestic fort, a peaceful village, a beautiful beach … the guide would be incomplete without Encounters returning for the seventh consecutive year, beating the record for longevity in an international event, held in Tunisia, reserved exclusively to photography .
.
Exhibitions
We always think to question the very idea of state. It must be said that since the beginning of the twentieth century this has always made the same way. Exposure is simply framed photographs distributed by a certain logic in a well lit room. Attempts have not failed to revisit this tradition, but it all boils down to this procedure because the secular important to look at a photograph takes precisely this confrontation between the viewer and the photographer, the latter through his work.
This year too we will witness a variety of looks, enhancing the imagination and a clear desire to imagine a different world. The photographic opportunities this year are even richer, the systematic practice of staging, or put into life, to the world as it stands, the public will be invited to be among these possibilities. This year Fetart, Association for the Promotion of Contemporary Photography, based in Paris, offers exhibitions of great class for our greatest pleasure.
.
Carte blanche to collectors
After photographs of Mustapha Bouchoucha Victor Sebag, Soler and some anonymous we continue this year the discovery of photographers who have completed the photo album of Tunisia. This year Beit el Bennani us to be cognizant of the expertise of a professional photographer. Photography by Gilbert Van Raepenbush, sober, not without artifice, but with much rigor in the composition and framing, is a lesson in photographic technique.
.
Round tables and discussion: “Controversies still …”
(Hamideddine Bouali, critic and historian of photography)
The exhibition was great stir in Lausanne in 2008, it was talked about in the catalog of meetings last year. Scheduled again this year in Paris, she was more appreciated and organizers added a subtitle: “Stories in Pictures”, played on the polysemy of the term history. A visual reminder of these photographs in the history of photography but have also been subject to criticism, often virulent, the audience will discuss issues that photography has always been. The question is whether this is an integral part of this medium off-standard or of a social debate that a day will definitely exceeded?
.
The Nocturnes
Photography lessons will be an opportunity to see and hear how the photographers talk about their colleagues. Photographers invited or selected to present this seventh edition, with photographs, works of their colleagues they like, which influence or which are similar. Opportunity to attend conferences novel, where the photographs will be better appreciated as used in conjunction with the inclinations of the author.
Other photographers submit their work to criticism and debate in the presence of connoisseurs. Appointment to be unique in today’s landscape photography. The Nocturnes, a portfolio light not to be missed.
.
Workshop for children and adults
In photography children Ghar el Melh are spoiled anywhere else they may consider an exhibition gallery as a playground like this that is happening in their village. So we decided to familiarize themselves with other activities that serve to further refine their tastes and preferences. They will design, sculpture, reuse of household waste and to comment on the film they just watched. Five days of multidisciplinary activities after the end of the school year, children not deserve all, a table of honor for their creativity?
.
Le Corsaire: Meetings of the newspaper and Radiography
Le Corsaire, the newspaper of the Meetings will accompany this edition by a radio, which will not pirate. The silence of the fort will be pushed by the waves of the station, which will issue its programs for the benefit of visitors. Le Corsaire Graphie and Radio will be there to give news, conduct interviews, make the weather so that we will add the photographs and his writing …
.
Pixelmania
Karim is unbeatable on digital, the ownership, maintenance of cameras, file transfer and improvement on the graphics … It always has a trick to avoid the return of your materials to after-sales service, the best way to make you more efficient with a premium, and word games and a smile staggering. Enjoy it’s free.Workshop “How and what to expose? “
Led by Natalia Jaskula and coordinated by Hamideddine Bouali, this workshop is for photographers participating in this edition. It is often difficult to choose among those photographs which could constitute a coherent whole. It is not just a matter of common theme or a technique, but the search for harmony. The corpus consists of photographs represents the work done and likely to become an exhibition. It would be desirable that participants be accompanied by a portfolio, in the form of photo prints for books, CDs, or display on laptop.
.
After midnight
On one edition to another, only the moments, impressions jealously guarded, memories and the catalog. If the catalog is the support of each issue, listing the photographers and animations organized, only references to the unique atmosphere of Ghar el Melh will know what this event actually is. After midnight is one of the appointments that are most unlikely. No program, no invitation, no time only certainty: The beach of Sidi Ali el Mekki … This is all alone and it is magical. In recent years this component of the program wonder where people are meeting, we reserve the surprises that a director can not predict … In fact after midnight is the magic of Ghar el Melh gift.

Fake HDR from a single exposure shot
Not the best HDR on flickr , that’s for sure…I went out for shooting some photos today because I don’t work and the weather was wonderful , I took many diffrent shots but I wasn’t really excited about them , this photo is one of them..And when I decided to go home , on the road I see a very interesting man with a perfect face for my fav portraiture style , I pulled over and went to him wondering if it would be an easy task to photograph him or if he would deny an resist…So I said Hi and he replied Hi too..I took immediately a piece of change and gave it to him ,he accepted it , then asked him if it is OK if I take a photo of him , he said no problem , I took a burst of like 20 photos and I was veryyy excited because I knew that I had a big catch today lool , so when I took the road back I was happy because i knew that I had a great photo in the camera and that I didn’t waste my time then got home with poor photos like this one above..i’ll post the portrait tomorrow or maybe the day after..Hope I didn’t bore you with my story guys..Sorry for the English

Finally I have my Pro account ! now you can see the photos in Large and enjoy the details! I took this photo today , this man was really weird and when photographing him I was very stressed and expecting a violent reaction..He was staring like that all the time but never said a single word..My friend gave him some change and then he left..
S-NOCTURNUS posted a photo:
..Scusa..Because he always say scusa -excuse me in italian- when he asks for some change or cigarettes..He is always drunk and when I asked him why he said that he wants to forget about his son..Don’t ask me what happened because I dunno..scusa me for now 
Art that shocks is not necessarily meant to shock, but I would say that the fundamental aim is to reveal the hidden, the silenced, the unseen, and the forgotten. Such an art speaks what should not spoken and exhibits what should be not shown, a daring choice of the artist who seeks to distress the ordinary, the common, and the mainstream with the different and the alternative.
According to Michel Foucault, the official discourses occlude forms of knowledge that are different and distinct from them. Hence, the normal person is not the specimen; the good citizen is different from the delinquent; the normal straight cannot be a pervert; a girl cannot be a boy. Official discourses are but constructs, and when we tackle the question of gender, we may say that the demarcation between sexes is but a social and cultural construct, a wobbly duality.
An exhibition of daring photographs in the Gallery “Cine Son” in La Marsa is wrapping up this weekend after running about two weeks and bestowing an opportunity upon the lovers and enthusiasts of art and photography to discover an alternative perspective and representation of gender. Tarak Khalladi, a young Tunisian cineaste and photographer, an emerging talent, is one of the partakers in this exhibition. Speaking to Alarabonline, Khalladi said, “I think it is high time to offer the young Tunisian talents a chance to enter the arena of artistic design. Tunisian art has a lot to say and to offer, notably new and original techniques and perspectives”.
Presenting his work, Kalladi added, “I attempted to blur the boundary between the masculine and the feminine so as to shatter the demarcation line between genders. In photos, I tried to highlight masculinity that survives within extreme and intense femininity”. In black and white, the photos speak out a message, a modern or let us brand it a “postmodern message” that blurs boundaries and blows apart duality. Deconstructing, to use the expression coined by Jacques Derrida, the already-established official gender construct, Khalladi shot to some extent erotic, but expressive scenes: a woman girded with a bodice, an ode to seductive femininity; another woman dressed like a little girl clutching a doll, a quiz, a quagmire that pushes the viewers to ask quite a few questions, paradoxes brought into harmony through the camera of the artist photographer.
With Khalladi, art has no taboo as it digs into the secrecies and ambiguities of the body, the body that has it own aesthetics though always silenced. A new approach to photography, the young artist has adopted through mixing different techniques and making use of the skills he gained from cinematography. In an attempt to satisfy an audience that has been bored with minimalism and superficiality, the artist has conducted his research and enquiry taking the body as a starting point to convey a new perception.
It is worth noting, in this context, that Khalladi has worked with a number of Tunisian and foreign artists, notably painter Aicha Ben Mostapha throughout the exhibition that was held in El-Teatro in Tunis, Abdelaziz Mohsni, Sami Mrad, Claude Perez, Lamine Sassi, Chahla Soumer, Ahmed Zelfani and others.
