'From dark room to light room': Some Aspects of Photography in Digital Times. Interview with Pedro Meyer
Glasenapp, Jörn (2000-11-28) , S. 1-6
Pedro Meyer (b. 1935) is one of the first photographers to successfully make the transition from analog to digital photography. He has won numerous awards for his work which is included in permanent collections of more than 20 of the world's finest museums, and has appeared in more than 125 exhibitions. As a founder of ZoneZero.com - perhaps the most important website dedicated to promoting digital photography from around the world - the Mexican artist has published, among other things, two interactive CD-ROM titles, the ground-breaking "I Photograph to Remember" (1991) and the much-acclaimed "Truths & Fictions" (1995) which is also available in a print version (published by Aperture). Jörn Glasenapp talked to Pedro Meyer about the manipulative aspects of both analog and digital imaging, Paul Strand's alleged 'purity', the weakness of the medium to transport the artist's statement, the forthcoming death of analog photography and the internet as an important distribution platform.
