In role-play and sex-play, illuminating theater, jokes, leisure,
and fantasy. This edition of Aperture focuses on "Playtime." Taking
its name from the 1967 film by Jacques Tati, the articles and
portfolios explore how photography illuminates, facilitates, and
participates in the many definitions of play-from role-play and
sex-play to theater and jokes to leisure and fantasy. The issue
features an interview with artist Chrisian Marclay about
improvisation and the relationship between images and sounds; a
conversation with Erwin Wurm about the possibilities and risks of
using humor in contemporary art; and new, never-before-published
work by Sophie Calle. Additionally, writer Eric Banks visits Saul
Leiter's studio; Tim Davis examines the art of the photographic
one-liner; Robin Kelsey surveys the artists who turned to games,
whimsy, and clowning around in the 1960s and '70s; and Aveek Sen
considers Italo Calvino's short story "The Adventure of a
Photographer." Plus portfolios from Jo Ann Callis, Kauyoshi Usui,
Bruno Munari, James Mollison, a little-known group of Cambridge
University students who scaled campus buildings in the 1930s, and
more.
