This desolate street is situated in the Seaport neighbourhood. From this place you look at the port of Ghent, which is the major subject in Kossikoff's photography. In the 1930's Kossikoff made photographs of the activities in the port on an almost day-to-day basis. The port was his world and major theme. Kossikoff's work remained unknown until recently.

This is, however, the most misleading form of photography there is. The true, dark side of photography is most explicit in documentary photography. In this case the spectator is most susceptible to the manipulative side of photography. Politicians and regimes are very aware of the power of photography. On the one hand they are scared of the power of photography but on the other hand they use it in the realization of their goals. xavier@anamorfose.be (Xavier Debeerst) http://www.anamorfose.be/-c-162 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 10:01:00 -0500 http://www.anamorfose.be/documentary-photography/social-photography Works of Labor xavier@anamorfose.be (Xavier Debeerst) http://www.anamorfose.be/documentary-photography/social-photography Mon, 21 Feb 2011 23:27:43 -0500 http://www.anamorfose.be/documentary-photography/cause-of-death "Cause of death" is a photographic exploration of Death in photography. A very obvious subject, and also one of the earliest, is the Postmortem photography. The subject of Death in photography is larger than only the Postmortem photography. Other subjects as war, Holocaust, Funeral albums, suicide, violence, mug shots, terror and "In Memoriam" albums are also related to the Death. War is over - don't forget the war Twentieth century Europe was dominated by the two World Wars, which have changed the face of Europe and the rest of the world forever. We have selected a number of photos from our collection, illustrating both World Wars. No complete historical overview but a photo essay based on some very remarkable and original prints. Photos of battlefields, war leaders, holocaust, ordinary people trying to survive the war. Some of these images may shock you. xavier@anamorfose.be (Xavier Debeerst) http://www.anamorfose.be/documentary-photography/cause-of-death Thu, 03 Oct 2013 09:17:43 -0400 http://www.anamorfose.be/cause-of-death/causes xavier@anamorfose.be (Xavier Debeerst) http://www.anamorfose.be/cause-of-death/causes Fri, 24 Feb 2012 03:27:40 -0500 http://www.anamorfose.be/cause-of-death/postmortem Postmortem Photography xavier@anamorfose.be (Xavier Debeerst) http://www.anamorfose.be/cause-of-death/postmortem Fri, 24 Feb 2012 03:29:58 -0500 http://www.anamorfose.be/documentary-photography/street-life The street stands for liveliness and light and therefore it is a source of inspiration for many photographers. We call them photojournalists or documentary photographers. On the other hand also art photographers and experimental photographers love to use street life in their work. Street Life shows how people from different periods and cultures deal with open spaces in a city. It provides an opportunity to compare the way of life between them and at the same time it gives an overview of multicultural societies. The city is given another meaning and the street an sich has become the scene of unimportant events again. © Xavier Debeerst, 28/01/2002 xavier@anamorfose.be (Xavier Debeerst) http://www.anamorfose.be/documentary-photography/street-life Mon, 21 Feb 2011 23:27:53 -0500
