Tahitian Beauties // Lucien Gauthier

The travel narratives of European explorers who discovered Tahiti in the eighteenth century gave birth to the myth of a forgotten Eden. From Bougainville to Gauguin, many adventurous spirits would seek out her shores. In 1904, french born Lucien Gauthier, enchanted by the island, decided to become a photographer. The collection of images that he would assemble over the next 17 years illustrates the myth of a peaceable paradise. His work, which celebrates the beauty both of Tahitian women and of its verdant landscapes, expresses his personal vision of an ideal world.

Many of these images can be seen in his book Tahitian Beauties, put together by Serge Kakou, is available here.

RECAP // EMILY KNECHT // FEELINGS

Great opening with Emily Knecht last weekend. Solid turn out and good vibes all around. Feelings is a collection of 35mm film images that Emily has taken each time she cries over the span of 3 years. Her interest in sharing these images was to simply see how one would feel within a room full of her crying. There's no huge statement being made here just a very personal project being made unpersonal. Feelings by Emily Knecht remains up until June 10th so stop in if you're in the Echo Park area.

For more information or exhibition catalog contact us here.

Let's Get High

A few weeks ago, daredevils Vadim Makharov and Ritaliy Raskalov climbed the second largest building in the world. They planned their escapade to coincide with the Chinese new year, so that fewer people would be around and security would be lax. Sneaking into the building, which is still under construction, they climbed 120 stories on foot. At they top, they slept and waited for good weather. Then they clambered out to the very end of the crane that sits on the roof, looked down at the world below, and got ridiculously high on life.

Shoot All Skaters

Nice little piece that Brock Mitchell put together on skate photographer Tobin Yelland. Some of skating most iconic images were taken by Tobin and this short piece gives a bit of insight into the process and story behind some of that work.
