THE LOVE LINE exhibition
The Love Line van Tara Fallaux is een universeel portret over hoe liefde opbloeit tussen twee mensen en de onontkoombare miscommunicatie die ons daarbij in de weg zit.
Via een geluidsinstallatie c/q podcast-serie en een filminstallatie probeert Fallaux de uiteindelijke eenzaamheid van de liefde te doorgronden. Dat doet zij aan de hand van liefdesbekentenissen die te beluisteren zijn op je eigen telefoon. Verwacht herkenning, ontroering en verwondering - een portret van de liefde.
The Love Line is te zien op 26, 27 en 28 november en 4, 5, 11, 12, 18 en 19 december van 13.00 to 16.00 uur in de Portrait Gallery Studio op het Marineterrein in Amsterdam.

THE LOVE LINE
THE LOVE LINE van Tara Fallaux is een universeel portret over hoe liefde opbloeit tussen twee mensen en de onontkoombare miscommunicatie die ons daarbij in de weg zit. Verliefdheid gaat immers gepaard met wensdenken en emotionele misinterpretaties.
In deze audioverhalen horen we mannen en vrouwen van verschillende leeftijden en achtergronden proberen te verwoorden hoe een intense liefdesgeschiedenis ontstond en hoe die voorbij ging.
De eerste drie verhalen zijn te horen op VPRO DOCS of in de apple podcast.

NUDE // NOW 24.07.2021 – 28.08.2021
Exhibition at Pennings Foundation in Eindhoven.
Nude comes in hundreds of shapes and is made by hundreds of artists, in the Netherlands alone. Martijn van de Griendt is curator of the exhibition Naakt // NU (NUDE // NOW). He chose the exhibitors on instinct, just like he works himself. And he selected photographers he admires, who he just discovered or had known for some time. Almost all of them show new or recent work. About the naked body. Because that is worth showing.
With: Jesse van den Berg, Tara Fallaux, Martijn van de Griendt, Ehlana Polgara, Lana Prins, Cornelie Tollens, Dylan van Vliet, Prins de Vos, Lova Yu.
Opening: Saturday, July 24, 2021 16:00 – 18:00.
For information and registration see www.penningsfoundation.com.
Happy to be selected as a member of the Women Photograph community.

Winner Life Framer. Home Sweet Home.
We’re delighted to present the results of our April 2021 competition judged by conceptual documentary photographer Marion Tandé – Manager of the Department of Photography at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York.
“While beautifully shot, an image of a fairground Ferris wheel may not immediately conjure ideas of home. But we learn from Tara’s statement that it’s from a project documenting a ‘fairground family’ who travel from location to location earning a living from this giant contraption. That knowledge gives this image a real emotional weight – this young girl looking across a town’s rows of houses, knowing that in a few days she’ll pack up and move on again. It’s wonderful image, capturing the melancholy that must come with a lack of belonging in any one place, despite the excitement and adventure of such a lifestyle one might imagine from an outsider’s perspective.” – Life Framer
Photographer statement – From the series The Ferris Wheel Kids. “Louis and Jan have always lived the carnival life. They travel from fairground to fairground with their Ferris wheel, living life in constant motion. This portrait series examines life between wheels, the family unit and the unshakeable bonds of brotherly love. In 2014 I started following Louis and Jan with my camera. I made a short film documentary about Louis’ last summer before he had to move to a boarding school in order to attend high school. The years after that I kept coming back curious to see if the strong family unit would change. Now Louis is back from high school and living with his parents again although this time he has his own mobile home, his own fun fair ride and a girlfriend. Despite always on the move I feel an enormously strong sense of home and family bonds with this fun fair traveling family.”

The Show is Over featured on LIFEFRAMER
Lifeframer added my golden oldie series of dancers after a show on their collection page. Nice that the series is still being noticed. All analogue, MamiyaRZ, Kodak Portra and sweat.
