The Meat Guns

The Meat Guns

Dimitri Tsykalov is a Russian artist based in Paris who likes to experiment and to shock viewers. Most of his sculptures are made with edible foods and aim to make statements about world hunger, barbarous animal treatment, and various abuse of men. His “Skull” series shows a great precision and accuracy, while “Meat” trespasses few limits.

"In these pictures I recognize the murderess within me, I recognize love and death within me; in these pictures I recognize my flesh as the cannon fodder it is and will be for the rest of my life. In contrast the secondary meat in these shots - the one that rots and that kills, the animal meat that is used to create the fleshy weapons - seems unscathed, sanguine and elegiac. It is incredibly alive, it is cannon flesh and we are already mortal."

The Great Capa

" I hope to stay unemployed as a war photographer till the end of my life."
(Robert Capa)

On May 25, 1954, the career of Robert Capa, whose exploits as a war photographer had made him a legend in modern photography, came to an abrupt end when he stepped on a land mine on an obscure battlefield in Indochina.

(FRANCE. Normandy. Omaha Beach. The first wave of American troops lands at dawn. June 6th, 1944.)

(April 1943.The American fighter ace, Pilot LARDNER in the cockpit, with swastikas and Italian fasces showing how many enemy planes he had shot down.)

 (ISRAEL. Haifa. Immigrants arriving at Sha'ar Ha'aliyah at the camp of Rosh Hay'n, where they had to stay until housing was found for them.)

In 1954 Capa went to Japan with a Magnum exhibition. While he was there, Life suddenly needed a photographer on the Indochina front. Capa volunteered. But it was one war too many. His luck ran out on May 25. They found him still clutching his camera.

(INDICHINA. On the road from Namdinh to Thaibinh. A French military convoy. May 25th, 1954.)

(CHINA. Hubei. Hankou. Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945).)

The Tibetans

"Most of the time I’m not looking for color pictures. I am looking for something interesting, for a vignette that tells a story, something that reveals an element of humanity. Color is secondary."

"What inspires me?  Henri Cartier Bresson’s work has been an inspiration to me, but people living their everyday lives inspire me too."

Tema agama dari pameran berjudul "Mental Hystoire" kali ini menurut saya adalah sebuah tema yang luas. Saya mencoba mengkerucutkan makna agama menjadi sebuah hal yang dasar dengan kita, Keluarga.


Setiap individu memulai gerakan awal dari keluarga, meskipun nantinya akan menjadi sekuler atau tidak beragama, tetap saja kita enggan mengecewakan keluarga. Disini saya berusaha memuncul portrait yang sangat personal yaitu foto keluarga saya sendiri, dengan menggunakan kamera TLR saya mengabadikan beberapa portrait hitam putih. Sebuah foto series berjudul "Familie Effect #1 - #4".


Tidak cukup disitu, saya merasa foto hitam putih adalah foto yang kurang atau belum lengkap, sehingga saya menambah sentuhan grafis kupu-kupu yang saya tempel tepat di wajah setiap anggota keluarga, memang terkesan pop-art, tapi disinilah proses saya memberi warna sebuah foto.


Kupu-kupu tidak semata-mata hanya aksesoris, tetapi sebuah metafora tersendiri yang saya dapat dari teori "The Butterfly Effect", dimana satu hal yang kecil mampu merubah gerak dunia, dan tentu efek yang sangat berarti. Sama hal-nya dengan keluarga, tampaknya memang sederhana, tapi adalah dasar bagi kita untuk memikirkan lebih dalam mengenai makna beragama.

Talks about Street

Joel Meyerowitz took to the street with a 35 mm camera, searching for inspiration in the people, gestures, interactions and incongruities that occurred everyday.

he began photographing in 1962, becoming a “street photographer” in the tradition of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Frank. However, Meyerowitz works exclusively in colour.

Meyerowitz is an award-winning photographer whose work has appeared in over 350 exhibitions in museums and galleries around the world.

The Butterfly Effect Project

In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions; where a small change at one place in a nonlinear system can result in large differences to a later state.
