It's weird how we perceive ourselves vs. how others see us.

I'm never stimulated by the ideas, my art is the constant reflection of my perception. Sometimes Stimulated and sometime Virtual, but always its on my perception. May be depth is required to enable to quench the thirst.

#3242 - 2016 Day 320: Everything has a scale. Whether it is appraently enormous or tiny, it is a relative perception. This tiny waterfall is perfect, doing everything that a huge waterfall would do, but in miniature.

This construction area reminded me of the layers of consciousness. ...outer sensory perceptions..to the inner layers of the mind....

your own perception of yourself

is based on how others see you.

 

because if their opinion didn't matter,

you wouldn't need them for

anything

I was asked by a hairdresser friend to take photos of her clients with dreadlocks..

She got the 7 women together, ages ranging from late sixties to early forties, and we set up a make shift studio out the back of her salon.

 

My first thoughts when I see or think of dreadlocks, is dirty, hippie, alternate lifestyle. You get my drift....well how wrong was I.

So yes they are a bit hippie but I'm a bit country so who am I to judge and yep they have an alternate lifestyle but alternate in the sense that they care for the planet and want to sustain and look after it as long as possible. The dirty part I got completely wrong. These woman really care about their looks and appearance and dirty they are not.

 

I was curious to find out, why? Why dreadlocks? What did they mean to them? and What made them decide to get them?

 

What I found out is that these dreadlocks give these woman confidence and made them believe they can be the person they want to be.

I found out they are extremely self-conscious not just about their looks but about their abilities but by having the dreads somehow gives them the confidence to believe in themselves.

 

I guess we are all the same and most of us internalize our insecurities where these women externalize it.

 

I also found out that they didn't want to be ordinary.

 

The session opened my eyes and made me realise that my perception of things isn't always right. I got to know these woman in the 6 hours we had together and I got to know a side of them that I hope I was able to get across with a photo. As much as the shoot was all about the hair, it turned into something far more complex.

 

*To get dreads like this a person would have to sit 12 hours in the hairdressers chair. I for one couldn't do it. Half an hour in the chair is 25 minutes too long.

Messing around with some of the new patterns I've made and a photo of my wife.

How do you really explain a color, without using other colors? You can't, or at least, I can't. It's impossible for me.

 

Blue to me might be red to you. You know?

It's all about perception.

 

This is an old picture, but I finally got around to editing it. Opinions?

Copycat of my friend . dep .

Because she inspires me always.

To be open.

To be true.

To be me.

To be imperfectly beautiful me.

When I was in school smoking was definitely the thing to do if you were cool. Not for me as thankfully I wasn't cool enough!

Hopefully now with more information and smoking bans, this perception of what is 'cool' has changed and less kids are becoming addicted before they understand the consequences that we, as adults, do. My idea here was to capture a different view in the mirror, a burned out reflection.

 

My 'smoking' model really helped me out here, tipping her head, smoking on cue and even developing a face!!

Vernissage der ersten gemeinsamen Ausstellung von Ali Görmez (50 FACES & MORE) und Wolfgang Brückner (STRUKTUR-

FORSCHER) im Waldorf Astoria Berlin (19. Etage) - 27. März 2015

 

* Ali Görmez *

Ob im Fahrstuhl, auf der Straße, im Büro oder auf Veranstaltungen. Gesichter sind allerorts. Überall treffen wir auf sie und beginnen sie in unterschiedliche Situationen einzuordnen, Mimiken zu deuten und zu verstehen. In Gesichtern finden wir unser Verständnis, unsere Zugehörigkeit, unsere Abneigungen und eigene Tiefen.

 

Auch Pop Art Künstler Ali Görmez liebt Gesichter. Dabei geht es nicht um das Einschätzen und Zuordnen von Schönheit. Denn der Künstler weiß, dass sich Gesichter schnell verstellen können, um sich unverwundbar, stark oder kompetent zu zeigen. Er weiß auch, dass das, was vielleicht im ersten Moment gelingen mag, auf den zweiten verblasst.

 

Für Ali Görmez sind Gesichter Geschichten und Emotionen. Emotionen, in die er eintauchen möchte. Dabei sucht der Künstler die Tür, um hinter die Fassade blicken zu können, um die Geschichte und das Erlebte zu lesen und den Umgang mit diesem zu verstehen.

 

* Wolfgang Brückner *

Ausgangspunkt für das Projekt STRUKTURFORSCHER war u.a. die Beobachtung, dass die Identität und Besonderheiten der Lage von Gebäuden und Wohnanlagen meist in den Innenräumen schlagartig verschwindet. Selbst große prunkvolle Bauwerke verlieren in ihren Innenräumen schnell an Ausstrahlung. Und wenn Kunst Teil der Inneneinrichtung ist, hat sie selten einen logischen Zusammenhang mit den Gebäuden und der Umgebung. Wolfgang Brückners Bilder schaffen einerseits eine Identifikation und „Verbrüderung“ mit dem jeweiligen Gebäude, anderseits auch „Traum-Fenster“ in die nähere Umgebung, die eigentlich das zeigen, was z. B. hinter den Mauern zu sehen wäre, wenn der Architekt ein Fenster in eine erweiterte Wahrnehmung hätte bauen können.

Opening NEUE HORIZONTE I - Waldorf Astoria, Berlin 2015

 

Opening of the first joint exhibition by Ali Görmez (50 FACES & MORE) and Wolfgang Brückner (STRUKTURFORSCHER) at Waldorf Astoria Berlin (19th floor) - March 27, 2015

 

* Ali Görmez *

Whether in the elevator, on the street, in the office or at events. Faces are everywhere. We encounter them everywhere and begin to categorize them in different situations, to interpret and understand facial expressions. In faces we find our understanding, our affiliation, our dislikes and our own depths.

 

Pop artist Ali Görmez also loves faces. But it is not about assessing and classifying beauty. The artist knows that faces can quickly disguise themselves in order to appear invulnerable, strong or competent. He also knows that what may be successful at first glance fades the second time around.

 

For Ali Görmez, faces are stories and emotions. Emotions that he wants to immerse himself in. In doing so, the artist seeks the door to be able to look behind the façade, to read the story and the experience and to understand how to deal with it.

 

* Wolfgang Brückner *

One of the starting points for the STRUKTURFORSCHER project was the observation that the identity and special features of the location of buildings and residential complexes usually disappear abruptly in the interiors. Even large, magnificent buildings quickly lose their charisma in their interiors.And when art is part of the interior design, it rarely has a logical connection with the buildings and their surroundings.Wolfgang Brückner's pictures create an identification and "fraternization" with the respective building on the one hand, but also "dream windows" into the immediate surroundings on the other, which actually show what could be seen behind the walls, for example, if the architect had been able to build a window into an expanded perception.

Trust me when I say this started as a ugly picture SOOC. But after cropping and editing, I think it might be one of my very favorites. Anyway off to watch the VMAs... have a good night everybody.

This moment was captured at Mehtab Bagh, Agra.
