Mit diesen Worten weiht der rodriguische Kommissar für Kunst und Kultur, Gaetan Jabeemissar, am 12.August die Ausstellung 'Die Worte der Fotografie" per Klick auf den Auslöser einer Kamera ein.-
"Photography is one possibility for everybody to retrace history...A people that doesn't know its history, its past, is a people without future. In Rodrigues we have stated that lots of images of our past don't exist anymore..."With these words Gaitan Jabeemissar opens the exhibition 'The Words of Photography' by clicking the release button of a camera.
Der August gilt als der internationale Monat der Fotografie und die Kommission für Kunst und Erziehung ließ diese Gelegenheit nicht ungenutzt verstreichen und bot Marcel Poinen, einem freiberuflichem Fotograf aus Mauritius, eine Woche lang die Möglichkeit seine Sicht auf Rodrigues in Port Mathurin auszustellen. Seit 2 Jahren erst widmet er sich der Fotografie und als Rodriguesliebhaber, der der Insel oft seine Aufwartung macht, hat er im Laufe der Zeit einige sehr sehenswerte Momente eingefangen, Alltagsportraits von Frauen, Männern und Kindern, die gerade weil sie so unspektakulär daherkommen, besonders berühren. Seine Auffasung, dass hinter jeder noch so kleinen Sache ein Mensch steht, kommt in vielen seiner Fotos zum Ausdruck.-August as the international month of photography made the local Commission for Art and Culture use the occasion by inviting Marcel Poinen, a Mauritian photographer, to display his vue on Rodrigues and its people. For only 2 years in photography and a passionate visitor of the island, he has captured beautiful moments during his visits, every day portraits of women, men and children, touching even more as they come across so unspectacular. Well reflected in his photos his attitude that behind each little thing there is always a person.
Still until today Marcel Poinen's art can be admired. A nice initiative which has been welcomed by the public with great interest as one can also find expressed in the numerous enthousiastic entries in the exposition's visitor's book. With the veranda of the ancient administrative block the location was well chosen and helped certainly some locals to come around too who otherwise were not so often found at such events..., maybe driven too by a certain curiosity to discover a neighbour or a friend on one of the photos.
