NOTES: Desiree Palmen
- dieren camoufleren voor veiligheid of eigen rust. Ze camoufleren zich en je ziet ze niet. of liever: je ziet ze wel maar onderscheidt ze niet. - interesse en obsessie in biologie en geologie en natuurlijke habitat gecombineerd met geënsceneerde foto's. De mens centraal, niet als individu maar de mens als lid van zijn soort, de bewoners van de gebouwde omgeving. (Reijnders, 2002, AMC Magazine) ---> www.desireepalmen.nl/portretnl.php
exploit points of view which are induced by the location of the surveillance cameras.
Het veelvuldige gebruik van bewakingscamera's in het openbare dagelijks leven vormt voor Palmen (1963) de aanzet tot fotowerken waarin het thema van camouflage de rode draad vormt. Camouflage in de vorm van beschilderde pakken in een omgeving. Het oog van big brother wordt misleid. (de Jongh, "van bewakingencamera naar kunst", feb./maart, nr. 45, p.60/61(NL)- smaak magazine
the difference between palmen and bolin is that bolin uses hiw own body as a canvas whereas palmen makes other people dissolve or disappear into their surroundings (bored panda - Amazing camouflage art by desiree palmen- by lina D.)
her pieces are based around the idea of camouflage, the act of being unseen and undetected. To create the site specific suits palmen photographs a precise location. She then paints the image of the place onto a suit by hand. A person then wears the finished suit and poses in the original location - trying to blend into the space as much as possible. (designboom - camouflage art by desiree palmen, 2008)
Camouflage is a key motif in her work through which she explores the notions of where we, in our bodies, are seen or no longer seen.

NOTES: Bolin
his works combines performance art, photography and protest. himself paint, fade into the backdrop of a photographed scene. To create his works, Liu often chooses sites replete with symbols of China's Cultural revolution, or suggestive of the immense changes in the country since the fall of Mao Zedong's regime.
According to the artist, his Camoflage works are metaphors for the feeling of anonymity and ostracism he encounters as a Contemporary artist in China. After Chinese officials shut down his studio in 2005, his work became even more overtly political, in what the artist calls “a silent protest… a protest against the state.” (http://www.artnet.com/artists/liu-bolin/biography)
TED: Liu Bolin - de onzichtbare man
Wanneer ik aan een nieuw stuk werk, besteed ik meer aandacht aan de uitdrukking van ideeën. Bijvoorbeeld waarom zou ik mezelf onzichtbaar maken? En hoe denken mensen daarover?
Ik gebruikte dit werk om mijn ongenoegen te uiten. Ik wil dit werk ook gebruiken om meer aandacht te vragen voor de situatie van kunstenaars en van hun creatieve vrijheid. Intussen heeft deze serie vanaf het begin een protesterende, reflecterende en compromisloze geest.

NOTES: Maria Zendrera
- ads on marktplaats
- description of secondhand product and 3 photos with a (semi) naked woman.
- sex sells (used in ads to draw attention to a particular product - branding - transfer of sex to product)
- stereotyping, roles and beauty standards
- objectification of the body can out women/men under a lot of stress because of the high expectations - physically (how a perfect body should look)
- use of marktplaats: because companies are not there and so the image culture of stereotyping the body. Because of that individuals put less effort in marketing, decorating the product and lifestyle surrounding the brand. Therefor the photos of the products on marktplaats are much more honest and homemade.
