Plato's cave (over)exposed

7/17/2017

 
Photos by Corneliu Sarion
In Plato's cave, the Greek philosopher emphasizes the fundamental role of the light to bring us informations about the external world. The light transforms the real world into a virtual one, the world of the shadows. The light means life and knowledge through information; but the same light destroys the information in an overexposed photographic image. Just as time, light has a dual nature not only in the sense of physics but in connection with the process of creation.

We are living day by day in a real world and in a virtual one, the world of our memories. Through its pass, time transforms the real world into a virtual one, acting as a function defined into real with values into imaginary. As it creates our memories, time destroys that memories moment by moment. (Corneliu Sarion)

We build and keep the memories which we want to be surrounded by at the end of our lives. (Bogdan Comisel)

    What is?

    The Bulb Collective consists of photographers active in urban (and rural) photography with an expressive shift to include highly aesthetic and poetic images in their assignments.

    They share the same vision but not the same perspective which gives the necessary "polyphony" in their extremely ambitious endeavour to cover all the aspects of the Balkan neorealism.

    Their visual signatures aspire to create iconic images and to be the best in metamorphosing and interpreting all aspects of life in this highly contradictory and fascinating part of the world.
