Ca worker in industria de media nu pot sa nu remarc seria de fotografii si colaje “Billboard Heaven” a fotografului bulgar Luchezar Boyadjiev – ce-l preocupa pe el e haosul estetic urban post-comunist/ neo-capitalist si impactul vizual al acestuia asupra omului de rind. Pozele sint facute in Sofia. Citez din spusele artistului:
“…Sofia, a city where you can put up anything, anytime, anywhere, as long as you can pay… In a neo-capitalist city, the economic aspects in the life of the society overpower political ones; the market suppresses the civic agenda; the visuality of business and consumption eats up the visuality of reflection, contemplation, or representation of anything other than consumer identities. In fusing material surroundings with the advertising context, I have taken these processes to their logical visual conclusion.”
Se aplica perfect si pentru Bucuresti – mirajele capitaliste printre blocurile gri si sarace. Capitalism fara burghezie. Si inca o chestie care mi se pare tare – tipul s-a lansat ca artist dupa ‘89 (e nascut in 50 si ceva).
