“Chaskielberg uses very slow exposures on a large-format camera to dislocate the naturalism… in photographs of rural and landscape…carefully lighting and sharply focussing it, balancing and blending artificial and natural light sources… The resulting effect is a combination of focus and blur in effect reconfiguring the old pictorial.

La Creciente: Su propia agua
C-Print
Available in 3 sizes: 100 x 80 cm, 140 x 110 cm and 190 x 152 cm.
La Creciente series creates a wildly visual atmosphere, making us see that there is value in rethinking the techniques of photography as a mean to disrupt the all-too familiar patterns of visual thinking that inhabit wider social forms of representation. His aesthetics challenges the viewer’s perception of a subject and its meaning, which is what tends to be forgotten as a more critical aspect of the history of pictorialism”. David Bate.

La Creciente, Otsuchi, Pixels “Chaskielberg cruza la frontera entre lo documental y las artes visuales.” Jeff Moorfoot Director de la Bienal Internacional de Fotografía de Australia.
"Chaskielberg utiliza exposiciones muy lentas, en cámara de gran formato, para dislocar el naturalismo exigido a la foto de paisaje… iluminando y enfocando cuidadosamente con nitidez equilibrada, al combinar fuentes de luz artificiales y naturales... El efecto resultante es una asombrosa combinación de enfoque y desenfoque que reconfigura el estilo pictórico… …La serie La Creciente crea una atmósfera salvajemente visual, haciéndonos ver que es valido repensar las técnicas de la fotografía, como un medio para disrruptir los patrones demasiado familiares del pensamiento visual, que habitan formas sociales más amplias de representación. Su estética desafía al espectador en la percepción del sujeto-significado, que es lo que tiende a ser olvidado como el aspecto crítico del pictorialismo ". David Bate Fotografía Artística. Ediciones Tate, Londres.
“Capturadas en oscuras noches, sus sujetos del pequeño pueblo de Otsuchi permanecieron inmóviles durante varios minutos mientras el artista creaba largas exposiciones. Los resultados son meditativos y conmovedores “. Wired "Una inquietante reflexión sobre la relación dinámica entre la foto de familia y la memoria de una comunidad después de los, todavía, dolorosos terremoto y tsunami en Japón". Lens Culture.
