18.8 – 12.9.2021<\/p>\n

Simon Chang (1978)<\/strong> je ve\u010dkrat nagrajeni dokumentarni fotograf, rojen na Tajvanu, ki dela in \u017eivi v Evropi \u017ee od leta 2003. Je prejemnik ve\u010d Slovenia Press nagrad, Kaoshuing nagrade, nagrade Golden Tripod in presti\u017enih nagrad za publikacije v Tajvanu, kjer je objavil \u0161est fotoknjig.<\/p>\n

V seriji fotografij Pastirji in klavnica se je Chang osredoto\u010dil na avtonomno regijo Kurdistana, ki se razteza \u010dez sever Iraka, Sirijo, Tur\u010dijo in Iran in je bila skozi zgodovino pogosto kraj konfliktov in nasilja tudi s strani radikalnih islamskih skupin. Changova dokumentarna fotografija usmeri svoj pogled na zgodbe, ki te\u010dejo pod razburkanim povr\u0161jem skupnosti Kurdov, naroda, ki pravi, da so njihov edini prijatelj gore. Resnica se nam v seriji Pastirji in klavnica razkriva skozi paralele. Prika\u017ee nam fotografije iz umobolnice Hawler za mo\u0161ke paciente, ki nosijo rane vojne proti Islamski dr\u017eavi globlje od ko\u017ee. Odrinjeni na obrobje skupnosti, ki so jo varovali, v nas strmijo izpraznjeni la\u017enega upanja in zanosa, opominjajo\u010d na Hemingwayeve besede iz knjige Zbogom oro\u017eje, da po vojni besede, kot so ”slava”, ”\u010dast” in ”pogum”, postanejo obscene, brezpomenske. Vzporedno s tem spoznavamo svet znotraj klavnice v Duhoku, kjer \u017eivali ubijajo po pravilih Halala. Preveva jih industrijska krutost, prepletena s tradicionalno vlogo pastirja, ki opravlja svoje delo kot vodi\u010d v slikoviti pokrajini. Religija je postavljena pred neizprosno oko so\u010dutnega opazovalca. Lepota pa\u0161nikov se kon\u010da v krvave\u010dih truplih, v milostni, primerni smrti. Obzir do \u017eivali v klavnici odseva v ob\u010dutku praznine umobolnice Hawler. Postavlja se vpra\u0161anje, kje je ve\u010d humanosti, kateri boj se kon\u010da hitreje? Nad obema paralelama lebdi vsakodnevno \u017eivljenje Kurdov. Poroke, praznovanja, \u0161ole. Ornamentirana obla\u010dila, ljubezen in dru\u017eina, vse se zliva v podobo vztrajnega ljudstva, ki ni obupalo nad sabo, nad sorojaki. Changova fotografija pri gledalcu ne izziva \u0161okiranosti ali obupa nad \u010dlove\u0161tvom. Empati\u010dno nam razkriva resni\u010dnost, ki je ne moremo zanikati, ne glede na kot, iz katerega jo gledamo. Ve\u010dplastnost \u017eivljenja se odstira skozi tri navidezno nepovezane vidike kurdskega obstoja in prikazuje vplive nacionalnih konfliktov skozi posameznika, skozi intimno do\u017eivljanje vsakdana, ki je druga\u010den v vsaki Changovi paraleli, a nelo\u010dljivo povezan z naslednjo.<\/p>\n

Simon Chang (1978)<\/strong> is an established documentary photographer, born in Taiwan, who has been living and working in Europe since 2003. He is the receiver of many photography awards, such as multiple Slovenia Press Award, Kaoshuing Award, Golden Tripod Award and prestigious awards for the six photobooks he published in Taiwan.<\/p>\n

In the Shepherds and the Slaughterhouse series, Chang has focused on the autonomous region of Kurdistan expanding over the north of Irak, Turkey and Iran that was the scene of many violent conflicts with radical Islamic groups. Chang’s documentary photography directs its view at stories that run under the unsteady surface of the Kurd community, the nation that says they have no friends but the mountains. In the Shepherds and the Slaughterhouse, the truth unveils itself in parallels. It shows us the photographs from the Hawler mental hospital for male patients that carry the wounds of the war against the Islamic State deeper than skin-deep. Pushed to the margins of the society that they protected, they stare at us emptied of false hope, reminding us of Hemingway’s words from Farwell to Arms, about the words ”glory”, ”honor” and ”courage” becoming obscene and meaningless after the war. Parallel to these men, we get to know the world inside the Duhoku slaughterhouse, where they slaughter animals following the Halal rules. Photos are filled with industrial cruelty that is interwoven with the traditional role of shepherds carrying out their job as guides in the picturesque landscape. Religion is put under the merciless eye of the empathic observer. The beauty of the meadows ends with bloody corpses, in the merciful, appropriate death. The compassion towards the slaughtered animals is reflected in the empty feeling of the Hawler mental hospital. It poses the question of where do we find more humanity, where does the fight end sooner? Above these two parallels, we find another layer, the everyday life of Kurds. Weddings, celebrations, schools. Ornamented clothes, love, family, everything flows into an image of a persistent nation that did not give up on themselves or their folk. Chang\u2019s photography does not seek the shock response or the feeling of hopelessness about the humanity. It empathically reveals the reality that cannot be denied, no matter which angle we choose to look upon it. The multilayered life unveils through three seemingly unconnected points of view on the life of Kurds and displays the effects of national conflicts through an individual, an intimate experience of the everyday life that is different in each of Chang’s parallels, but inseparably connected with the next one.<\/p>\n
