Doifel Videla was born in Chile in 1955 and as a biology student he moved to Belgium in 1975. After a period of intense questioning he graduated in 1980 in Plastics in Brussels with credits in photography. During several years he worked organizing exhibitions in order to promote Latin American photography in Europe. Challenged by the digital revolution he embraced new ways of expression that would influence him as an image maker.This catalogue of “portraits” includes an extended caption for each photo, which poetically gives insight to the setting. This exhibition catalogue is published on the occasion of the 1st Latin American Photography Festival in Copenhagen.

Always celebrated for his photographic works and paintings starring weimaraner Man Ray, Wegman resisted getting another dog after Man Ray died in 1982. Then he fell in love at first sight with a dog named Cinnamon Girl, and inspired by a dream, he adopted her and called her Fay Ray. Still he had no intention of photographing her. Fay didn’t adjust well to city life, and Wegman almost sent her back, but she lost all her nervousness in front of the camera, and the artist realized he had another star on his hands. This is a profoundly loving and beautifully illustrated tribute to Fay’s life, in many ways retrieving Wegman’s artistic sensibilities from the excesses of corny humor in some of his weimaraner-infested film and book projects. The images here capture the delicate and changeable nature of Fay’s working career; her intelligence and temperament; her whelping of the next generation of canine hams, including Batty, Chundo, and Crooky; and her sudden decline in 1995 with canine leukemia.

For almost 25 years, this artist (b.1943) has been producing amazingly inventive photographs with the 20x24-inch Polaroid camera. This extraordinary body of work began in 1979, when Wegman - already well-known in the art world for his wry video and conceptual photographic work - was invited by Polaroid to try out this unusual camera. When Wegman and his dog, Man ray, traveled together to Boston to use the camera for the first time, a remarkable collaboration was launched. After Man Ray died in 1982, he continued his exploration of the medium with non-canine subjects. In the late 1980s, he began to work with the dog Fay Ray and an expanding universe of her progeny. This book gathers together the best of his work - hundrds of unique, large-format photographs - with an insightful and candid essay by the artist exploring his experiences with the camera and his exceptional models.
