As a
contribution to Stazione di Topolò | Postaja Topolove (Stazione di Topolò |
Postaja Topolove is an annual cultural festival that has been organized since
1994 by Donatella Ruttar and Moreno Miorelli. The festival takes place in
Topolò, a small mountain village in Friuli in northeastern Italy, on the border
with Slovenia), Ulay made a monumental group portrait, ‘Family at 4 o'clock’,
measuring approximately 250 x 400 cm., a portrait of 5 residents from the
village that he executed on the spot. A stable was converted into a photographic
darkroom, light-sensitive linen hung in strips on a wall, and by means of
briefly illuminating the space, the photo was taken, capturing the situation as
it was. Ulay then subsequently applied developer, stop bath and fixer using
large sponges, after which the silhouettes of the subjects became visible.
The ‘making of’ of ‘Family at 4 o'clock’ in Topolò was documented on video at
the time by Martina Kafol and Katja Colja. Please
