Cameraman in K Gallery (2513 Blanding Ave, Alameda)
Four photographers with four different approaches to capturing a moment in time. Motion Picture Camera Operator, Mitch Dubin tells a story within the four lines of the frame. Actor, Ed Holmes seeks the surprise of mistakes. Photojournalist, Maurice Ramirez documents a city during the pandemic. Artist, Pons Maar’s collages combine abandoned places with a Hollywood of days gone by.
Cameraman also features a sculptural collaboration between artists Ed Holmes and Marc Ribaud with sound design by Joe Paulino and Cameradog by Maria Chenut.
The idea for this show began when Holmes and Ribaud decided to create a larger than life size “Cameraman” using Ed’s 45 year-old camera collection and Marc’s engineering genius. The hundreds of cameras date from the 1920’s to yesterday, from a 4×5 view camera to plastic toy cameras and everything in between. The artists responded to the unique beauty of each camera design. A red box camera becomes the heart, two 1940’s film strip projectors become the eyes, and a series of instamatic cameras become the spine. Recorded shutter sounds create a sonic atmosphere and camera cases form Cameraman’s best friend, Cameradog.
*The Cameraman Sculpture will be featured as part of Alameda’s Porch of July Celebration viewable through Rhythmix Everett St Gate from 12-7pm, Sat & Sun, July 3rd & 4th. More info here!.
