Forecloser Usa 2011 A Review

The word foreclosure invokes thoughts of political greed, people miss guided and the ultimate loss of security, a home loses is more then loosing something physical its emotional as well. the show was easy to explain its all in the name Foreclosure, something that we have all come to know a lot more these last few years. Stockton is one of the top ranking cities knee deep in foreclosure so its a subject that hits close to home, the images where very indicative of that feeling.
There was a very human element about the images that I liked though there was no depiction of people in the actual work. one of those photos that truly felt that ways was the image called "Duplex" it was rather haunting to see how gutted the place was. to know that people used to live there and there hopes where taken from them for what ever reason. there where alot of powerful images like that. One thing that I noticed was the stillness of many of the images, they all felt so slightly sad but then again the situation is sad when you think about it. Sometimes we forget there is a human element to all this and the image "Galaxy" really put things into perspective, the little glow in the dark stars and plaint's on the sealing really hit hard to me. to think that at one time a kid boy or girl used to sleep in that room and the last thing they saw was those stars and now they are nothing more then a reminder of that one happiness and security is very powerful. The last Image I really thought resonated in the over all theme of the show was the Image "The end", I felt really said it all because when you are being foreclosed on you really feel like its the end of the line and the end of something you thought was a new chapter in your life. The image really said a lot with our being very in your face about it
All and out my over all thoughts of the show was very good I loved the way something that is seen as tragic and sad was made into powerful artisitic images that strike cords of emotion and resanate in your mind.
