Artificially Natural Dalam foto seri ini saya mencoba untuk menelaah kembali konsep tentang natural vs. buatan, yang asli dan tiruan; sesuatu yang selama ini kita anggap sebagai "realitas". Gambaran-gambaran klise, stereotype, sekaligus (terkadang) kitsch tentang alam beserta segala keindahannya. Mural pemandangan saat matahari terbenam, gambar sepasang burung yang terbang di atas gunung, dan lain sebagainya. Anggaplah saya hanya mencuri, meng-crop bagian-bagian tertentu, serta mencoba untuk merepresentasikan ulang berbagai imaji atau citraan-citraan alam yang saya temui. Dengan menjuktaposisikan berbagai citraan tersebut dengan realitas yang ada di sekelilingnya, mungkin kita bisa kembali mempertanyakan ide, konsep atau batasan-batasan paling mendasar dari apa yang kita sebut sebagai "sesuatu yang riil". Dalam hal pilihan pada obyek/ angel, saya tidak merasa mempunyai kecenderungan yang (cukup) spesifik. Seringkali saya "hanya merespon" apa yang ada di sekitar. Baik itu respon yang benar-benar spontan (point and shoot), suatu hal yang berawal dari ketidak sengajaan semata, atau bisa juga sesuatu yang telah saya pikirkan/rencanakan sebelumnya.

Artificially Natural In these photo series I try to review on the concept of natural vs. artificial, the original and imitation; something which is considered as "reality". They are cliché, stereotype, and at the same time (sometime) kitsch images about the nature and all its beauty. Mural of the scenery at sunset, the picture of a couple of birds fly on the mountain, etc. Considered I am a thief, by cropping certain parts, and then try to represent varieties of images or natural images that I found. By intersecting those images with the reality surround, maybe we able to question again about the idea, the concept, or the most fundamental boundaries on what we call "something real". My choice on object/angel, I do not feel have (quite) specific tendency. Mostly, I "only response" to those things surround me. Whether, it is spontaneous response (point and shoot), or something which is started accidentally, even something that I had planned before. I considered photography as the product of observation/ Conceptually (more or less the last three years), I no longer feel any significant point of view/perspective changes. My working methods or the ways I execute my thoughts are the same. I take picture and/or search "something which is already existed"; I am not creating, but composing, and then take pictures of it. Sometimes I see those things as the differences between a "photographer" and an "artist" (photo based artist). But then, I also often throw away that thought immediately, because it is something insignificant to be thinking off. What you make, the idea, the concept, and the subject matter are the most important things that we should consider about. On the other side, I always try to calculate some technical things. For example, lighting and compositions are important for me. Although the technique is only purely technical, but we must be able and/or adjust it with the concept. But still, it is something that (as much as possible) should not be overlooked. Agung Nugroho Widhi, was born in Yogyakarta, 1981. |
