About Ikarus Asa Sary (Photography Artwork)

Ny Ikarus dia andiana sary maneho voromanidina voatahiry avy amin'ny karazana efa lany tamingana na atahorana ho lany tamingana. Ny voromanidina tsirairay dia aseho araka ny fomba fanaovan-tsary hosodoko an'i Rembrandt, ary ny ambadika amin'ny sary tsirairay dia sary macro amin'ny volon'io vorona io. Ireo santionany dia nalaina sary tao amin'ny fanangonana ornithology ao amin'ny Senckenberg Institute any Dresden, Alemaina. Ny lohateny dia manondro ny anganon'i Ikarosy, izay nanidina avo loatra ka lavo tao anaty ranomasina. Ny Ikarus dia fizarana fahatelo amin'ny fanangonana andiany antsoina hoe Neglect. Ireo asa dia vokarina amin'ny akora ChromaLuxe amin'ny fanontana voafetra.

In painting, the foolish or overconfident person is often depicted as Icarus.

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.
