It took hundreds of craftsmen scores of years, even generations, to complete a major edifice. Each craftsman added his own piece to the project – a carving, a window, a fresco, a dome – always keeping an eye on the total effect.

  • Parmentier. Jaargang 16
    Parmentier. Jaargang 16 bron Parmentier. Jaargang 16. Stichting Parmentier, Nijmegen 2007 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_par012200701_01/colofon.php © 2016 dbnl 4 [Nummer 1/2] Van de redactie Het komt vaker voor dat bastaards en hybriden weinig licht vangen. Dat is spijtig. Juist deze tussensoorten plegen onze wetten te ontmaskeren als artificiële constructies. Door hun overschrijden van genregrenzen leggen zij het voorlopige karakter van iedere doctrine bloot, logenstraffen zij de modieuze aard van onze paradigma's. Het zal onder andere om die reden zijn dat een literair tijdschrift als Parmentier zich graag ophoudt in buitengewesten en grensstreken. Daar waait het goed door. De fotoroman is zo'n mengvorm die pakweg de laatste decennia niet of nauwelijks aandacht kreeg. Deze geringe belangstelling valt in ieder geval historisch te verklaren: van oudsher kampt de fotoroman met een nefast imagoprobleem. Allerlei sociale en culturele vooroordelen blijven het genre tot op de dag van vandaag links- en rechtsom inhalen. In het door hen samengestelde en ingeleide dossier ‘Lichtschrijven’ adstrueren Jan Baetens en Arnoud van Adrichem waarom het wel degelijk de moeite loont om het fotoromaneske universum te betreden. Giovanni Fiorentino, Peter Verstraten, Ine Lamers, Penny Allen, Johan Sonnenschein, Saskia de Jong, Ernst van Alphen, Els Vanden Meersch, Jan Baetens zelf en Sandrine Willems & Marie-Françoise Plissart laten zien wat de fotoroman, in al zijn veelvormigheid, vermag. En daarbuiten? Het met alcohol overgoten verhaal ‘De hoogte’ van dubbeltalent D. Hooijer sluit alvast goed aan op het dossier over de fotoroman. Zij kiest echter niet voor de camera om beeld en tekst met elkaar te confronteren, maar voor het programma Fotopaint waarmee ze tekeningen maakt die een alternatieve benaderingswijze van haar verhaal voorstaan.

  • DESIGNERS AGAINST AIDS I Gladly Accepted to Write the Introduction INTRO to This Book Because I Admire the Positive Spirit and Unique Vision of Ninette Murk
    DESIGNERS AGAINST AIDS I gladly accepted to write the introduction INTRO to this book because I admire the positive spirit and unique vision of Ninette Murk. Ninette is a pioneer in her own way, by using art and pop culture to increase global awareness of AIDS among young people. About 10 years ago, Ninette worked as a freelance fashion editor. Back then, she lost her best friend to AIDS and decided to turn a dramatic story into a positive one. As a single mother of two children she took up a huge challenge and launched a unique idea: Designers Against Aids. The very first DAA projects were small in scale and were located in Antwerp, the city of fashion. Very soon however, DAA attracted the interest of big international names such as Yoko Ono, Dita Von Teese, Estelle, Tokio Hotel and Robert Smith (singer of The Cure), who got involved because they connected both to the cause and the project. Even France’s First Lady Carla Bruni Sarkozy - as Ambassador for The Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and malaria - recently wrote a letter in which she expressed her admiration for the good work delivered by DAA. Today, DAA is creating global awareness not only through fashion, but also via all sorts of pop art expressions such as the fantastic pictures you will see in this book. DAA has indeed grown into a unique international story. Many companies have shown great interest in the project and are getting involved through their corporate responsibility programs. The Public Private Partnership between DAA and the Swedish fashion company H&M for instance, going into its 4th year in 2012, sets a perfect example for other companies around the world to care about the subject and to financially support organizations such as DAA.
