“Private Moon” kolaborasi Leonid Tishkov & Boris Bendikov
Bulan yang bersinar cerah saat langit malam, merupakan salah satu objek menakjubkan untuk banyak orang, termasuk dalam karya The Private Moon ini. Project kolaborasi karya yang indah dari seniman Rusia Leonid Tishkov, dengan fotografer Boris Bendikov, yang menampilkan suatu seri visual puitis yang bercerita tentang seorang pria yang terpesona dengan Sang Bulan dan akhirnya selalu bersama sepanjang hidupnya.
Setiap frame fotonya menceritakan sebuah kisah puitis didalamnya, dimana di setiap fotonya didampingi oleh bait-bait puitis dari Leonid Tishkov sendiri saat menggambar sketsa dari masing-masing foto tersebut, dimana dia menggambarkan bahwa Bulan bisa menemani kesepian kita dengan menyatukan semua yang disekitarnya.
Karya Private Moon (mulai 2003) ini, melengkapi karya ‘illuminated moon’ karya Tishkov yang telah berkeliling dunia baik di Rusia, New Zealand, Jepang, Cina, Perancis, USA, dan lainnya.
In the upper world, in fact in the attic of his own house, he saw the Moon falling off from the sky. Once she was hiding from the Sun in a dark and damp tunnel. But the passing trains frightened her. Now she came to this man’s house. Having wrapped the Moon with warm blankets he treated her with autumn apples, gave her a cup of tea, and when she got well he took her in his boat across the dark river to the high bank overgrown with moon pine-trees. He descended into the lower world dressed in the clothes of his deceased father and then returned from there lighting up his path with his personal Moon. Crossing the borderline between the two worlds across a narrow bridge, immersed in a dream and taking care of this heavenly creature, the man became a mythological being living in a real world as in a fairytale. Each photograph is a poetic tale, a little poem in its own right.
Therefore each picture is accompanied by my own verse, which I wrote when I drew my sketches for the photographs. So it turns out that the Moon overcomes our loneliness in the universe uniting many of us around it.”-Text by Leonid Tishkov-
