Menashe Kadishman - Shalekhet (Fallen Leaves)

I saw this piece by Menashe Kadishman when I visited the Jewish museum in Berlin two years ago, and it really had an impact on me. it's an installation, entitled Shalekhet (Fallen Leaves). It is located in one of the Voids of the building, normally empty concrete spaces intending to 'serve as an architectural expression of the irretrievable loss of the Jews murdered in Europe'.

Menashe Kadishman, Installation Shalekhet (Fallen Leaves), 1997-2001

Kadishman's installation consists of over 10,000 open-mouthed faces coarsely cut from heavy, circular iron plates covering the floor.What you can't experience from looking at the images is the heavy, echoing clanging that fills the space as you walk across the installation, or the distinct feeling of unease that you feel as you tread across the thousands of faces. It's a powerful experience. Kadishman's sculptures 'evoke painful recollections of the innocent victims of yesterday, today, and tomorrow.'

Todd Schoenbaum, Fine Art Photographer

I came across Todd Schoenbaum while I was researching photographers for my Alphabet Project. He works with traditional film photography, and creates beautiful black and white prints, that are hand-processed from start to finish.

 Schoenbaum explores texture and surface in his work, photographing brickwork, woodwork, old tools and machinery among other things. His images are high in contrast, with an emphasis on strong light and shadow to hightlight the texture of his subject matter. You can find more of his work here.

While I was taking photographs for my alphabet project, I tried to emulate his style by choosing surfaces with texture to photograph, and zooming in with the camera. I edited the photographs later in photoshop, boosting the contrast and converting the picture to black and white.

Below is my photograph of the letter P in the style of Todd Schoenbaum. You can find the rest of my Alphabet project here.

The Sistine Chapel - Virtual Tour

I came across this the other day - it's a virtual tour of the Sistine Chapel and it's pretty impressive.


Have a look at the Vatican Website for more virtual tours of Saint Peter's and other Basilicas.
