Hardback. Condition: New. 'These images were taken in last 5 years (some taken in military boarding schools, some in matadors schools, some in Israel) and explore the connection between "youth" and "uniforms" and dress codes: the place of the young individual in the group that appears to be the same, the heightened traditional roles of boys and girls that comes with the uniforms, the performance that the uniforms force on young people and more. Elements that appear in previous personal works of mine fascinated me into creating this body of work. First and foremost are the contrasts. While living a military life or being a young matador is associated with violence and cruelty, I find many of them to be fragile and weak. While it is considered a manly occupation, I found many of them to be gentle and feminine. I saw it in previous series I created, of wrestlers and prisoners. While we know these people made crimes or acts of violence and cruelty, they are also weak and vulnerable at the same time. This human contrast, the ability to be two so diffident things at the same time, fascinates me. It's a vehicle for me to create images that evokes more questions than answers. I am also attracted to the glamorous or unique different outfits, which are a symbol of the "old world", an element from a different era. While a boy dressed with shiny beautiful outfits, from a distance might almost appear as a super hero, but these outfits also come in contrast to the defenceless gaze of the sitter. While as a group the uniforms make them look identical, when in front of the camera, the personality and uniqueness of each is reveled behind the outfits. The outfits or uniforms they wear are connected to another element which interests me and is the component of "performance". The children almost look like playing dress up, and the school is a big theatre. Under the unity which is heightened by the uniforms, a theatre like drama is unveiled. People are constantly performing, using masks, outfits, locations, which is intensified when children are performing. I think kids grow up very fast these days, taking up adult roles and behaviours without realising it. Especially youth in uniform, is expected to perform a certain role society has created, usually a role that is designed for a more mature age. That was the case when I shot in military boarding schools for teenagers, or in circuses or in a Jewish orthodox community. These young boys and girls are trained to perform a role, a role of preserving an old conservative practice; it is education used as a programmer, infused by an agenda, done in a way both modern yet old-style. They do so with rituals and costumes and this tension between traditional and modern interest me.'.…

Hardcover. First edition. AS NEW clothbound hardcover in dust jacket in the publisher's shrink wrap. "'The Black Eye' continues Michal Chelbin's exploration of the world of athletes and performers from Eastern Europe, Israel, and England. The athletes and wrestlers in this series are studies in contrasts: youth and manhood, strength and weakness, tenderness and rigidity, odd and ordinary, splendor and roughness. Chelbin searches for a certain expression in which they have almost calmed their breath but not yet fully regained their self-awareness. It is a moment when they have lifted their mask and surrendered to the camera." Photographs by Michal Chelbin. 96 pages; 50 color plates; 12 x 13 inches.

Hardcover. square, red cloth boards w/ gilt printing. pictorial & blue dustjacket w/ white printing. 99 pgs w/ color plates. Includes an inscribed and signed promotional card from the artist. "Israeli photographer Michal Chelbin (born 1974) has spent several years traveling through Ukraine and Spain to explore the connection and tension between youth and uniforms. Internationally acclaimed for her striking portraits of teenagers throughout Eastern Europe, Chelbin recognizes adolescence as a liminal space between childhood and adulthood, a stage of one's life that can be difficult to represent in all its complexities and contradictions. Chelbin's teenage subjects embody that contrast to the fullest extent: their youth is apparent despite the startlingly adult contexts in which they are placed, as one can see in her previous work taken in juvenile prisons or traveling acrobat troupes. In How to Dance the Waltz, Chelbin looks at puberty and gender as a performance that involves as much attention to costumery as any circus act. The subjects in this collection are dressed in military garb, traditional maid uniforms, extravagant debutante gowns and outfits of matadors, all slightly ill-fitting and strange on their slight frames. In each photograph, the teens gaze directly into Chelbin's camera, seemingly impassive, their world-weary seriousness contradicted by the unmistakable youthfulness of their faces. This imagery hints at the ways societal expectations of gender, especially in regard to clothing and uniform, can inform a teenager's cognitive development and overall identity. Chelbin's remarkable portraits simultaneously represent their subjects' vulnerability and self-possession."--Amazon.

Condition: Wie neu. Aperture, New York. 2008. First edition, first printing. Signed by Michal Chelbin. Mint, new, unread; only opened for signature. Hardcover without dustjacket (as issued). A tipped-in photograph on the cover measures 8 ½ x 8 ½ inches. The book features an essay by Leah Ollman. It has 112 pages with 33 color and 22 duotone illustrations and measures 11 ¼ x 10 inches. Iranian photographer Michal Chelbin`s photographs "capture human stories in everyday life, those that exist in the space between the odd and the ordinary," she says. Evoking in an instant a wide variety of emotion, her enchanting images speak of the differences and similarities between us all. She takes photographs of groups of people, highlighting physical and visual contrasts between them. When photographing solo subjects, she generally removes them from their natural contexts (the circus, the theatre, the field), where they are still their performing "characters" but suddenly stripped of the safety of their team. Using their surprising appearances amidst the everyday, Chelbin explores the boundaries between fantasy and reality. From the Artist: "I try to create an informal scene, in which they directly confront the viewer. I feel they and their stories represent with most clarity the theme that interests me the most and which is the twilight zone between reality and fantasy. My aim is to record a scene where there is a mixture of direct information and enigmas and in which there are visual contrasts between young and old, large and small, normal and abnormal." From the Publisher: "In her sympathetic pictures of performers and wrestlers from small towns in Ukraine, Eastern Europe, England, and Israel, Michal Chelbin offers a glimpse into worlds both strange and familiar. The settings, costumes, and even some of the subjects themselves may seem exotic, but her portraits look beyond that to capture a transcendent sense of individual character." Chelbin`s most frequent subjects are children and adolescents, yet her work encompasses a mix of generations. As Leah Ollman notes, "The atmosphere falls somewhere between public and private. There`s a slight titillation of having personal access to performers who, typically, are experienced only remotely. Most immediate, though, are the visual contrasts between young and old, large and small, innocence and experience." The palette is intense, and intensely appealing, with a distinctive use of saturated pinks, blues, and greens. Chelbin`s black-and-white images, which are intermingled throughout the book, have an almost Pictorialist richness. Though her influences are evidentmost notably August Sander and Diane Arbusthe compelling photographs in Strangely Familiar, Chelbin`s first monograph, have a unique visual and emotional impact. This project was made possible, in part, through the generosity of the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation.***************Aperture, New York. 2008. Amerikanische Erstausgabe. Originalausgabe.

Collector`s copy! "There is nothing easy about it. It is a constructed moment, a scene within a scene, the real within the unreal. They are moments, lunga fermata, suspensions of time in the midst of what might otherwise be unbearable. The images are about a kind of discomfort - theirs, hers, mine and ours. It is like an old fashioned staring contest - one guy looks at the other and the first one who blinks is the loser, except Michal Chelbin never blinks. Instead she captures with the click of a shutter. Chelbin is always looking, drawing what is hidden to the surface. She capture - we shudder." (A.M.
