David Lachapelle
For over ninety minutes Lachapelle silenced the packed lecture room at Marina Bay Sands convention centre, with his talk on his work, life and philosophy of life.
"I use beauty to share my vision", he said, stating beauty is his tool, not his mission. A tool he learned thoroughly as a photographer for glossy magazines.
"People blamed me using the Katrina catastrophe in New Orleans", he said, showing
slides of his famous pictures of fashion models in front of ruined houses. Those images were made, he told the audience, months before the disaster. The magazine however, was published days after the disaster, suggesting David 'uswed' the disaster for his images.
However, he didn't and couldn't have used the disaster, on the contrary, he tried to show the contrast between the glamorous world of fashion and the deterioated houses of the world's poor.
At Art Stage David Lachapelle stole many hearts with his open, and honest presentation. A few years ago, he said, he had enough of the glamourous but pressing and demanding world of fashion magazines, and he decided to move to the countryside. Slowly he's finding his way into the visual art world with his photography. It takes often months to make one image, he said, and: "as long as I can pay my bills, I'm happy with my descion having left the often crazy and stressed glamourworld".
His many Asian fans lined up after the lecture, to have his photobooks autographed.

Highlight on Art Stage: the informal concert of singer/guitarist Naoito from Japan on Sunday Jan 16, YATAI Tour.
Naoito's music is full of influences from music around the world, Asian, African, and Western singer/songwriter's, however recognisable his very own style.
The performance was called YATAI trip project, an hommage to the typical Asian food stall. Naoito and crew brought to Singapore a real Yatai, movable but instable balancing on a wheelbarrow, serving as an folding table on which the audience was invited to have a drink. Only accompaynied by a musician on hand organ, singer and guitar player Naoito left a lasting impression with his intense and touching performance. He musicality reminded me of Jeff Buckley, the American singer/guitarist with his intense voice, who died way too young. Buckley, like Naoito, was during his short career searching through classic and contemporary music, aware of this issues of his time. Naoito's shopping, a critical musical comment of consumerism, confronted the audience art Art Stage with the world around them at Singapore's new shopping wahallah - with all that luxious Western brands - at the Marina Bay Sands, the venue of Art Stage.
