Urbane ruševine / Urban ruins —— 06.–19.05.2016.

Galerija Decumanus, Krk

Izložba je organizirana u sklopu šestog Festivala Prvomajski inkubator koji slavi praznik rada te obrađuje teme koje nam ukazuju na stanje tržišta rada, gospodarstva, proizvodnih i uslužnih sektora i sl. Od preko tisuću prijavljenih fotografija pristiglih iz tridesetak zemalja svijeta, odabrano je stotinu i dva rada.

The exhibition is organized as part of the sixth Labour Day Incubator festival which celebrates Labour Day and deals with subjects that portray the current state of the job market, the economy, as well as the manufacturer and production sector, etc. From over a thousand received photographs from over thirty countries from around the globe, one hundred and two have been chosen.

URBANE RUŠEVINE mr.pov.umj.

Bruna Justinić

Napušteni hotel, oronula tvornica, prazna kovačnica, zatvorena benzinska postaja, stara kino dvorana... ove građevine dokumentirane fotoaparatima diljem svijeta imaju nešto zajedničko: samo su sjena svog nekadašnjeg sjaja i čuvari uspomena na zlatna vremena.

One su urbane ruševine.

U novije vrijeme sve je popularnija grana suvremene fotografije koja spaja avanturistički pokret urbanog istraživanja, tzv. „urbex“ (urban exploring) i dokumentiranje široj javnosti nedostupnih napuštenih građevina. No, više od pukog bilježenja zatečenog stanja koje je posljedica odsutnosti kontinuiranog ljudskog prisustva, ova vrsta fotografije prije svega estetizira inače negativno percipirani proces propadanja, napuštenost, prazninu, odbačenost. Upravo su te karakteristike temeljna preokupacija ovdje predstavljenih autora i ono što ovim praznim kosturima daje neku vrstu romantičarske privlačnosti. Mogli bismo usporediti ovaj suvremeni fenomen s njemačkim ili francuskim romanticizmom 19.st. gdje je, isto kao i kod urbex-a, jedna od glavnih preokupacija umjetnika bila upravo tajanstvena ruševina, traženje ljepote u oronulosti i kontemplativno oslikavanje mirnoće krajolika. Zahvaljujući autorima kao što su Prosper Merimée i Victor Hugo, razvila se svijest o važnosti očuvanja srednjovjekovne spomeničke baštine koja je do tada bila prepuštena propadanju.

Fotografija je danas za industrijsku baštinu ono što su književnost i slikarstvo 19.st. bili za srednjovjekovnu arhitekturu jer potiče debate o revitalizacijskim i restauracijskim projektima u (post)industrijskim zonama.

URBAN RUINS MA in Art History Bruna Justinić

An abandoned hotel, a beat-out factory, an empty smithy, a closed gas station, and an old movie theatre: these buildings, documented by cameras all around the globe, have something in common; they are shadows of their past glory and the guardians of memories long gone. They are urban ruins.

In recent years, a new kind of photography has been emerging which combines the adventurous trend of urban exploring, the so-called urbex, and documentation of the present state of abandoned buildings that are no longer easily accessible to public.

However, this type of photography is far more than just capturing deterioration as a consequence of human absence, it also aestheticizes the otherwise negatively seen process of decay, absence, emptiness and rejection. It is precisely these characteristics which give these empty shells a kind of romanticist flare, that are the fundamental preoccupation of the here presented authors. We could compare this contemporary phenomenon with German or French Romanticism of the 19th century where one of the main themes, just like with “urbex”, is the mystery of the ruin, the search for beauty in decay and contemplative depiction of stillness. The consciousness of the importance of preservation of medieval heritage is credited to artists and authors such as Prosper Merimée and Victor Hugo who emphasized the achievements of the bygone age. One could say that today’s photography is for industrial heritage, that which literature and art of the 19th century were for medieval architecture because it raises debates on revitalization and restoration projects in (post)industrial areas.

Čini se zaista, da što je neko društvo naprednije to je veći njegov interes za raspadajuće, jer vidjeti će u njemu otrežnjujući podsjetnik na krhkost svih njegovih postignuća.

Alain de Botton, The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work

Činom fotografiranja, fotografi podižu veo tajanstvenosti i započinju novo poglavlje u zaboravljenoj priči o životu jedne građevine. Neki fotografi su je odlučili ispričati sveobuhvatnim pogledom na njenu vanjštinu, neki dijelom njenog interijera, a neki pak prepoznatljivim detaljima ostavljenih alata i proizvodnih strojeva. Fotografije urbanih ruševina su poetične, ponekad i sumorne, začuđujuće, nerijetko monumentalne, one nas ljute, a katkad sadrže dozu humora i mame osmijeh na lica gledatelja. U svakom slučaju, ne ostavljaju nas ravnodušnima. Gledajući ove dokumente, osjećamo sjetu jer mislimo na sudbine ljudi čija je egzistencija ovisila o radu tih građevina, ali i trunku olakšanja kad vidimo da se to ne događa samo nama – proces deindustrijalizacije globalni je proces o čemu svjedoče i prikazani radovi iz 22 zemlje svijeta. Događa se svugdje, u našem susjedstvu i u brazilskom gradu, na talijanskoj obali i u prašumi Šri-Lanke.

Urbane ruševine, koje danas sadrže samo potencijal nečega što je moglo biti, zahvaljujući fotografiji dobivaju novi život barem za vrijeme trajanja ove izložbe. Nekoliko „sretnijih“ primjera pokazuje nam mogućnosti prenamjene i korištenja takvih prostora.

Od umjetničke kolonije (Mladenović Svetlana „Tales“), „zabavišta“ (Radulescu Alexandru „Patria“), „galerije“ za street-art umjetnike (Keltz Alanig „Paquebot“) ili pak popularnog izletišta (Tahmaz Senad „Paralelni svjetovi“), mogućnosti su bezbrojne. Na nama je da ih iskoristimo i ne predamo zaboravu.

It seems, in fact, that the more advanced a society is, the greater will be its interest in ruined things, for it will see in them a redemptively sobering reminder of the fragility of its own achievements.

Alain de Botton, The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work

The act of photographing lifts a veil of secrecy and starts a new chapter in the forgotten story of the life of a building. Some photographers tell this story with views of a building’s façade, some with fragments of an architectural interior, and others with recognizable details of abandoned tools and machines. Photographs of urban ruins are poetic, sometimes bleak, staggering, and often monumental. They make us angry and, at times, have a certain dose of humor that brings a smile to our faces. In any case, they do not leave us indifferent. Looking at these documents, we find ourselves taken aback as we think of those whose lives depended on these factories for work. The feeling of sadness is followed by one of relief as we realize that this is a common occurrence.

The process of de-industrialization is a global phenomenon as demonstrated by these works of art that come from 22 countries from around the world. This occurrence is happening everywhere: in our neighborhood, in a Brazilian city, on the Italian coastline, and in the rainforest of Sri Lanka.

Urban ruins, which today hold only the potential of what could have been, get a new life, at least for the brief moment, thanks to this photography exhibition. A few happier examples show us the possibilities of re-purposing these areas, from the art colony (Mladenović Svetlana, “Tales”) to the ‘fun park’ (Radulescu Alexandru, “Patria”), to the street art ‘gallery’ (Keltz Alanig, “Paquebot”), or even to a popular excursion site (Tahmaz Senad, “Parallel Worlds”), the options are limitless. It is up to us to make use of these possibilities and not let them be forgotten.
