William Eggleston: Democratic Camera, Photographs and Video, 1961-2008 (TALKS ABOUT THE BEDROOM NUDE PHOTO AND HIS MURDERED FRI
This candid interview with photographer William Eggleston was conducted by film director Michael Almereyda on the occasion of the opening of Eggleston's retrospective William Eggleston: Democratic Camera, Photographs and Video, 1961-2008 at the Whitney Museum of American Art. A key figure in American photography, Eggleston is credited almost single-handedly with ushering in the era of color photography. Eggleston discusses his shift from black and white to color photography in this video as, "it never was a conscious thing. I had wanted to see a lot of things in color because the world is in color". Also included in this video are Eggleston's remarks about his personal relationships with the subjects of many of his photographs.
Michael Almereyda is director of the film William Eggleston and the Real World (2005).

Don’t miss Tuesday night’s (14/7) 50 minute documentary The Colourful Mr Eggleston part of the BBC Imagine series. The show is directed by Reiner Holzeimer, so presumably it will feature much of the footage from the short DVD on Eggleston by the same director.

Interesting news on the wire today that Martin Parr will be curating the 2010 Brighton Photo Biennial. From Martin Parr: “I am looking forward to having the opportunity, through Brighton Photo Biennial, to share some of my passion for photography by exhibiting some recent finds of new work. I also want to build on the success of the last Biennial by focusing more on placing shows within Brighton & Hove and making the event a centre of dialogue and discovery.” Read the full press release here.
Look out too later this year for a retrospective of images from Parr’s books at Rocket Gallery.
