About Ikarus Фотоәсәр
Ikarus — юкка чыккан яки бик нык куркыныч астындагы кош төрләренең саклап калынган үрнәкләрен күрсәтүче фотография сериясе. Һәр кош Рембрандт картинасы рәвешендә сурәтләнгән, ә һәр портретның фоны шул кошның каурыйларының макро фотографиясе булып тора. Үрнәкләр Германиянең Дрезден шәһәрендәге Зенкенберг институтының орнитология коллекциясендә фотога төшерелгән. Исем биеккә очып, диңгезгә егылган Икар турындагы легендага ишарә ясый. Ikarus — Neglect дип аталган серия коллекциясенең өченче өлеше. Әсәрләр ChromaLuxe материалында чикләнгән тираж белән эшләнгән.

- 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. - Patents
