Portraiting for Mladina’s Striptiz rubric
7 September, 2006
In Mladina weekly there is a rubric Striptiz, where I do a portrait and person being portraited write a text about him / her self. We choose emerging artists or people who are involved in interesting projects. So my concept is that in a portrait I include everything that it would involve in a conventional portrait, but I ravish the idea into different context. Mathematically speaking, I maintain the shape of a curve, but the starting point of system of coordanates I move into a different context.
Taxi Alaksi project of french artist
Emil Hrvatin – thater director
Simon Žižek, a sound engineer in contemporary theater Anton Podbevšek Teater in Novo mesto / Slovenia
Maja Lapajne, art director of Drive-in Cinema
Dušan Cunjak, owner of six secondhand bookstores

Pieta Ravnikar, art director of BalkanArt Festival

Zelo kul. Moji favoriti: Krajnc, Rugelj, Dovič in Pucelj.
BTW, a je mimoidoči na Štritofu in Jemeršiču zapoziran?

Odgovor je DA! Kolego Mitjo Lična sem poprosil, da je odigral pešca. Fotografijaje bila tako statična, da sem moral nekaj najti, da razbijem in razdelim gledalčevo pozornost.
Koncept serije je, da fotograf inscenira fotografijo in zastavil sem si, da ilustriram človeka, kot bi bilo na prvo žogo (Pucelj ob vozičkih, kustos v galeriji, založnik ob časopisih, …), le da izhodiščni sistem malo zamaknem. Kustos je zakopan, vozički izgledajo … mistično, založnik je na smetišču časopisov, …
Pri tej seriji imam problem, ker v to rubriko sodijo tudi neuveljavljene glasbene skupine. Njih enostavno ne morem postaviti v drugo vlogo, saj jih praviloma nihče ne pozna, zatorej, če bi se pojavili v narodni noši, bi vsi mislili, da so narodnozabavni band in nihče ne bi pokapiral zakaj.
Hvala za komentar!

[...] Yesterday was a good example. I was working whole day and I was tired as a dog, but anyway I went to Škuc, to see Reginee Debatty as she is really famous blogger with her site We make money not art. I had to do a portrait of her and I was super sceptical. How can I do interesting sort of Striptiz like picture in this situation. I’m not Jesus to wake on water or to do miraculous pictures on demand. I thought it’s almost imposible, since I’m exhausted and also Reginee has her obligation and could not take 15 min for my portrait. Not to mention I have absolutly no idea how should I photograph her. My banzai attitude was wasted entirely on shooting of Striptiz at the airport, so I said to senior editor OK I will do it, but expect that tomorrow Matjaž Tančič will have to reshoot the image. [...]

Недавно у дочки был день рождения. И я ей подарил – авто-открытку!
Это обычная Газель, а с двух сторон установлены баннеры с поздравлениями!
