About Ikarus የፎቶግራፍ ጥበብ ስራ

ኢካሩስ የተባለው የፎቶግራፍ ተከታታይ ስራ የጠፉ ወይም እጅግ ለአደጋ የተጋለጡ ዝርያዎችን የተጠበቁ የወፍ ናሙናዎችን የሚያሳይ ነው። እያንዳንዱ ወፍ በሬምብራንት ሥዕል ዘይቤ ተስሎ የቀረበ ሲሆን፣ የእያንዳንዱ ምስል ዳራ የዚያ ወፍ ላባዎች ማክሮ ፎቶግራፍ ነው። ናሙናዎቹ በጀርመን ድሬስደን በሚገኘው የሴንከንበርግ ኢንስቲትዩት የኦርኒቶሎጂ ስብስብ ውስጥ ፎቶግራፍ ተነስተዋል። ርዕሱ በጣም ከፍ ብሎ በርሮ ወደ ባህር ስለወደቀው የኢካሩስ አፈ ታሪክ የሚያመለክት ነው። ኢካሩስ ኔግሌክት ተብሎ የሚጠራው የተከታታይ ስብስብ ሦስተኛ ክፍል ነው። ሥራዎቹ በክሮማ ሉክስ (ChromaLuxe) ቁሳቁስ ላይ በተወሰነ ብዛት ተዘጋጅተዋል።

Unique Properties
Here are photographed specimens of animals, most of whose species are extinct. For this series Dr. Martin Päckert, the head of the ornithology section of the Senckenberg Naturhistorische Sammlungen Dresden, he supported me very dedicated in my work.
In painting, the foolish or overconfident person is often depicted as Icarus.
Dimensions & Packaging
Produced artworks are in the size 120 x 90cm, 80 x 60cm available. All strictly limited to 5/10 pieces.
Tags
animals, photography, endangered, extinct, birds, environment, portrait, Rembrandt
Production Technology
Digital Photography, produced on ChromaLuxe material.
Design Challenge
The challenge was to set the prepared birds in scene like in a Rembrandt painting. The background of the portraits is a macro-photography of the feathers of each bird.
Research
I found that in the collection of the Senckenberg Institute in Dresden the most rare examples of extinct bird species are collected.
From a project before I had the contacts to the institute and they immediately said yes, when I asked to photograph the examples for my project. Then Dr. Martin Päckert helped me a lot with the taxonomy and the names and the origin of the birds and the preparations.
Inspiration
We know the legend of Icarus, whose father Daedalus built wings of feathers and wax for himself and his son to escape from the captivity of Minos on Crete. The son Icarus became overconfident, the wax melted, he fell into the sea. Despite his father’s warnings.
Despite warnings and admonitions, we spiral into ever higher and warmer and warmer climes, and the crash is not far away. Okay, maybe that’s a bit drastic and striking. But all photographed birds are either extinct or highly endangered.
Project Duration
It took nearly a year of research and preparation, two days of shooting and around 2 weeks of post-production.
Operation Flow
This is the third series of my collection of series, called NEGLECT. All endangered or extinct species.
I had the wonderful chance to photograph in the ornithology institue of the Senckenberg Institutes in Dresden, Germany.
