Dear
"Miss Maier"
you give
Been a nanny for almost a lifetime
unmarried, childless
years after your death
People discovered by accident
you are a photography genius
I have been using a camera
Record the people and things around you
also take selfies
Your work revolves around your children every day
Eat and live in someone else's house
But you are always alone
distance from the world
You use your innate intuition
Manipulate the lens
gaze with precision, distance, and compassion
This cold world
Your selfies are countless
as a photographer
you as a "third party"
appear in his photography
become part of the work
Sometimes a very crucial part of the work
even the work itself
you create
A unique viewing experience -
The work you photograph is the first: "I"
The audience is second: "you"
audience watching work
"I'm looking at you"
Beyond "you" and "me"
A third party appeared in the work - "she"!
That's you as Vivienne Meyer
me as a spectator
It's like looking at you
taking me on a tour
That black and white time that has become history-
Because your image is in your work
You are the key that links the present to the past
at your call
Viewers push open the door to history
There
have your spiritual world
You have your own lonely personality
you are isolated from the crowd
But at the moment of pressing the shutter
quickly integrate into the crowd
Anatomy of a Crowd by Lens
you just have
The genius of street photography
Humans have always been lonely
this age
each individual
Your story with loneliness
tell me:
do not be afraid!
Flood frenzy of the crowd
(So-called "mainstream")
Inevitably coerce some people
even most people
?
but you always choose
pick up the camera
while recording
one side finished
The construction of self-spiritual home
you shot
So many photos!
But I never thought to show it to the world
You have few friends in your life
few people remember you
but you use photography
keep the work
keep yourself
people always want
Work silently in loneliness
"Reservation"
Looking for a few places in the desolation
"End of the Sea"
In the silent darkness that is not remembered, not mentioned
build a few
"Secret Garden"
Vivienne Mayer
me too
