Over 20 black and white photos by Clark Baker will be displayed

at the Analog Explorations photo exhibition held at Ganzo Gallery

Restaurant. This exhibit ion includes analog photographs

depict ing quintessential scenes of the American South. Clark

sought to reveal the personality of the South, including subject

matter such as the importance of religion, the simplicity of the

landscape, and the rich historical past. When asked about his

documentary style of photography, he stated, “Our culture is fast,

noisy, modern, complicated and violent in many ways.

I think I enjoy creating images in opposition to those characteristics.”

Although this series of images focuses on attributes of the

American South, Clark has chosen to display his images in Italy

because of a personal connection to Florence and his prevailing

interest in history. This poignant series offers commentary on the

strong ties people have to the south.

Clark Baker has been practicing photography since he was 12 years

old. He describes himself as a self-taught photographer, but has

photographed all over the world. Clark accomplished his undergraduate

degree in Social Sciences at California Polytechnic State University,

received an MA in Journalism from the University of Texas at Austin, and

then a Ph.D. in Mass Communication from the University of Alabama,

Tuscaloosa. He currently teaches at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.

Clark Baker presenta la sua mostra fotografica a Ganzo,ristorante

scuola e laboratorio didattico creativo di FUA (Florence University

of The Arts), in Via dei Macci 85 rosso. L’inaugurazione è prevista

per mercoledì 6 Aprile alle 18:00, in occasione di AperiArt.

Sono più di 20 fotografie in bianco e nero, piene di fascino.

Sono analogiche che raffigurano scene significative del Sud degli

Stati Uniti di America. Clark ha cercato di rivelare l’essenza del

Sud: oggetti, il valore e l’importanza della religione, la semplicità

del paesaggio e il ricco passato storico.

Questa serie offre inoltre uno struggente commento sui forti

legami che le persone hanno a sud.

Quando gli è stato chiesto quale fosse lo stile documentario della

fotografia, ha dichiarato: “La nostra cultura è veloce, rumorosa,

moderna, complessa e violenta in molti modi. Mi piace creare

immagini in opposizione a queste caratteristiche.“

Anche se questa serie di immagini si concentra sul sud degli Stati

uniti di America, Clark ha scelto di esibirle in Italia per un legame

speciale che ha con Firenze e la sua storia.

Clark Baker ha iniziato a praticare la fotografia da quando aveva

12 anni. Si descrive come un fotografo autodidatta ed ha fatto foto

in tutto il mondo.

Clark si è laureato in Scienze Sociali presso la California Polytechnic

State University. Ha conseguito poi un dottorato di ricerca in

Comunicazione di massa presso l’Università di Alabama, Tuscaloosa.

Attualmente, insegna presso la Baylor University di Waco, Texas.
