SUMMARY:Ideas Over Lunch - Capturing the "Mystery of the Ordinary"
DESCRIPTION:How does a photographer capture the “Mystery of the Ordinary”? In this edition of Ideas Over Lunch\, Czech-American Photographer Annette Fournet take us through her practice and world travels. Fournet is known by her signature black and white style with unique and captivating composition. What looks otherworldly through the eyes of the artist could be an ordinary object transformed by her lens. \n\n\n\nAnnette Fournet lives in Memphis\, Tennessee and in Prague\, Czech Republic. She is currently teaching photography at the University of Memphis. \n\n\n\nIn the early 1990s Annette Fournet began to photograph in Eastern Europe. Fascinated by the atmosphere of ‘suspended time’ cause by the isolation of the Iron Curtain\, Fournet witnessed the many changes in the former Czech Republic following the ”Velvet Revolution.” She found herself photographing\, with a sense of nostalgia and regret\, the transition–the disappearance of conditions both good and bad in the onslaught of change. She continues to photograph in Eastern Europe and America\, investigating what the photographer C J Laughlin described as ”the mystery of the ordinary\,” and the beauty of things imperfect\, impermanent\, and incomplete\, the natural evolution of things from or toward nothingness \n\n\n\nExcerpt from her Bio on Thomas Dean Fine Art Website. (Thomasddeanfineart.com) \n\n\n\nBring your curiosity and your appetite—lunch must be pre-purchased with a ticket.
