About Ikarus Likhang-sining na Photography

Ang Ikarus ay isang serye ng photography na nagpapakita ng mga napreserbang espesimen ng ibon mula sa mga species na naglaho na o labis na nanganganib. Ang bawat ibon ay inilalarawan sa istilo ng isang pintura ni Rembrandt, at ang background ng bawat portrait ay isang macro photograph ng mga balahibo ng ibong iyon. Ang mga espesimen ay kinunan ng larawan sa koleksyon ng ornithology ng Senckenberg Institute sa Dresden, Germany. Ang pamagat ay tumutukoy sa alamat ni Icarus, na lumipad nang napakataas at nahulog sa dagat. Ang Ikarus ay ang ikatlong bahagi ng isang serye ng koleksyon na tinatawag na Neglect. Ang mga akda ay ginawa sa materyal na ChromaLuxe sa limitadong edisyon.

Press Kit

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.
