J. Sybylla Smith, In Conversation with Rita Leistner
Manage episode 347453409 series 3367479
Photographer and filmmaker, Rita Leistner, blends fine art with documentary in her intensely lit, unstaged, metaphorically-inspired environmental portraits of the tree planters reforesting the cut blocks devastated by commercial logging.
In this conversation, Rita Leistner discusses, among other things:
Uncanny use of light
An innate sense of composition
Feeling not with the heart or head — but with the spine
The power of artificial lighting
What makes communities work
Bush legs and tree eyes
Capturing visual vocabulary in the real world
Light as media
The whiteness of the whale
Living the work
