Abstract


Abstrak

Melalui foto, seseorang tidak hanya merekam secara mekanis, melainkan masih mempunyai ruang untuk menciptakan ungkapan personalnya. Penciptaan karya seni ini mengungkapkan realitas personal akan nilai di balik peristiwa kehilangan yang dialami. Self portrait (potret diri) di sini hadir sebagai pengantar atas narasi dari hal yang tersirat dalam sebuah peristiwa kehilangan yang sifatnya lebih ke non-fisik, seperti kehilangan peran, waktu, keseimbangan, dan lainnya. Usaha memvisualisasikan narasi tentang kehilangan melalui self portrait yang artistik tidak terlepas dari pemanfaatan teknik fotografi yang digunakan. Selain eksplorasi tubuh dan benda yang menjadi penanda utama, efek yang dihasilkan dari teknik fotografi seperti slow shutter speed, double exposure, open flash, zoom, reflection, flare, dan lainnya juga dimanfaatkan menjadi penanda dalam keseluruhan narasi visual tentang kehilangan yang dibangun. Hasil penciptaan karya seni ini memanfaatkan perbendaharaan bahasa foto dengan menciptakan suatu hubungan logis dari objek-objek foto yang masing-masing sudah dikaitkan dengan ide atau makna tertentu. Makna tidak hanya dihasilkan lewat pose, melainkan juga benda dan teknik yang digunakan. Beberapa teknik yang biasanya dihindari dalam pemotretan seperti overexposed, blur, shaking, dan out of focus digunakan untuk menciptakan bahasa foto yang unik dan segar.

Abstract

Self Portrait about Loss in Fine Art Photography. Through a photo, someone is not only recorded mechanically, but also still has space or room to create their personal expression. The result of creating this art revealed the value of personal reality behind the suffer from a loss occurence. Self portrait in this context comes as an introduction for narratives of thing that is implicit in an occurrence of loss which has non physical character, such as losing role, time, the balances, and so on. Visualizing the narratives of losing through artistic self portrait could not be separated from the use of techniques in photography. Beside the exploration of the body and the things that became a major marker, the resulting effect of the techniques of photography such as slow shutter speed, double exposure, open flash, zoom, reflection, and flare could also be used as a maker in overall visual narrative about losing that was summed up. The creation of this art applied the ‘language’ of photo by creating a logical relationship from each photo object of which was associated with certain idea or meaning. The meaning was not only generated through the pose, but also through the objects and techniques which were used. Some techniques in photography were avoided to be used such as overexposed, blur, shaking, and out of focus to create the language of photo which was unique and fresh.
