I don't know enough...

I don’t know enough about the politics of the art world....

I always believed in an artist not the school -
Which school Rodin or Michelangelo graduated from?

It can be that it is a different times and different rules.... but I doubt it.

There are some things which do not change:
Education is not the title of the school but the student!

You show and sell your art not the copies of your diploma.
Of course the school matters for the beginning of the carrier;
But it is dangerous and wrong if the artist from the beginning thinks about his - hers carrier instead of art.

We have today, way too many examples of the "artists" who have chosen carrier of artist over the making art.
Time will tell.

I don’t own the truth… but...

I don’t own the truth … but...

Nobody knows how to photograph the sculpture, especially photographers.

Of course the purpose matters,

For example, if it is for the purpose of archiving

Then – yes, photographer knows, maybe even better for him to do it.

At the same time no photo does justice to the sculpture.

Real experience is reeeeeeaal!

What is real then?

I think it is the energy impregnated in to the sculpture.

It is memory of sensations, struggles and successes compressed

In to the matter of the sculpture.

It is Presence of scale,

Which is not apparent on paper.

So when photographing sculpture, how to address all the above?

That is why photographer can’t!

Oh yes he can, but it will be his “reading” at best.

It is very difffficult because I am not a photographer professionally speaking, I don’t know how to develop or print, I need the genius photographer( I have one) who can hear and I will tell when I’ll see it.

But first is the shot!!!

How to merge in to the future print the experience of the observed?

Slow!

Taking the time to see the work talking, reacting to the light, giving up secrets…

When you hear - then shoot.

I like the view camera because

It allows me

To move the sculpture in the space,

Manipulating the space and sculpture together,

Create the reality needed for particular combination of light, sculpture , distance, Placement on the flat of the viewing glass.

Sometimes I even succeed.
