Eric Naaman


Please spare some time and click on Eric Naaman's site and his latest addition on Adventure (first 9 shots). He lately went to Alcatraz, the famous prison that became a national park since 1973. These photos give a sensation of the passage of time, the passage of events, the passage of lives in these cells. Some photos are shown in duets enhancing them both visually. It is a fine study of vertical and horizontal lines, textures, reduced and open space...

On the same subject, Doris Lessing wrote a short book: "Prisons we choose to live in". Quite a complex read, as she reflects on issues of her times and unravels them, knot by knot, to attain and get closer to the idea of freedom. From then on, it is up to the reader to continue the quest and accept the process to untie one's own personnal thinking and seeking a form of emancipation.
