Sir Georg Solti + Nikon 35ti
atelier ying, nyc
This is a wonderful accessory for this famed conductor known for his precise yet lyric and exciting interpretations. Here the metaphor seems to be that he works the orchestra as a race car, recalled in the 35ti's ultra-cool dashboard atop the camera, and it's high quality optics. It is very difficult to modify such a tiny camera as the machinery is packed so densely inside. However, this design proposes twin hydroponic gardens reminiscent of Sir Georg's countryside hut in Roccamere where he studied orchestral scores and prepared for his seasons as music director of the Chicago Symphony. The gardens are a living memento of his favorite retreat, containing moss from the site. The "Swarovski" styling mimics piano keys as Solti was a concert pianist and spent much of his early career as a repetiteur for the ballet. Solti as a street photographer is an interesting proposition. His conducting style is visually unforgettable; you were either addicted to it or nauseated by it. i have a photo of him horsing around with a singer both of them carrying water guns during a picnic. The idea of Solti on a busy corner shooting street might be a tad intimidating. I've been making plans for more Solti-inspired cameras, his legendary Ring cycle recording, etc. It's easier for me to say things across a few designs rather than clump it all together in one creation. And I'd really like one of these Nikons too. The Rollei 35 is also on my mind.
Those that follow my drawings might ask themselves, why the combination of these unsuitable ideas for a camera? Actually, cameras with fantasies allow me to work and think at a detached aesthetic distance; it frees my mind, like the element of chance did in the work of John Cage or Marcel Duchamp.
Note that this plan is only for the all-black Nikon 35TI. Also, the "oxidized copper" moss cladding will need a breathable plastic cover for short term storage to protect the optics of the camera.
