Clouds and Consequences by Hervé Charles / Mood Strips by Paolo Pellizzari
Thursday, November 6th at 7pm [free entry]

On the 6th of November, CDAP hosted lectures by Charles Hervé and Paolo Pellizzari, photographers and teachers at La Cambre School of Visual Arts (Belgium), where they presented and discussed their work and visions on photography.

Hervé Charles, photographer and visual artist, teaches and leads the department of photography at La Cambre School of Visual Arts. He explores the ambiguity of representation, mainly through pictures and videos of landscapes. Interested in the transformation of landscapes, Hervé Charles started to be known by a series of images called Clouds and Consequences in which he revisited the tradition of cloud images. Has since developed the concept of ambiguity in series such as Volcanoes and Marée noire/marée verte. He exhibits regularly in Europe and was awarded with the Deutsche Leasing Photography Award and the Prix Photographie Ouverte.

Paolo Pellizzari exhibits regularly in museums and international galleries and is also a professor at the International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York. Strongly influenced by the German school of photography, his work stands out for its particular composition of panoramic pictures featuring crowds and human landscapes. Having already been published in various media, in 2010 he produced a book with his body of work called The Broad Way and exhibited the content at the Italian Pavilion at the World Expo in Shanghai.
