Karib & Kerabat BLIPfest,
Semenjak kontes ini mulai diumumkan ke publik–setelah lewat satu bulan–hingga hari ini telah berlimpah foto yang masuk ke meja redaksi. Terhitung lebih dari 100 foto yang sudah kami terima. Yay!
Totally, sungguh sebentuk respons yang menggembirakan hati. Kecintaan pada budaya sendiri ternyata masih kuat terpatok di hati masing-masing. Lagipula, pada faktanya, tentulah bukan sebuah hal sulit bagi kita untuk mencari objek gambar yang berkaitan dengan kebudayaan, sebab apa-apa yang ada di sekitar kita adalah budaya nan eksotik itu sendiri.
Para peserta pun menerjemahkan “budaya” itu dengan caranya masing-masing. Ada yang mengejawantahkan lewat kaca mata klasik: memotret rupa-rupa kesenian tradisional, arsitektur kuno, serta segala aktivitas yang berkaitan estetika masa lampau. Sementara sebagian kontestan membeberkan pemahamannya terhadap budaya lewat perspektif non-konvensional mulai dari mengabadikan keelokan tempat wisata, menjepret dinamika para pedagang di pasar, hingga menyuguhkan gambar kegiatan penggalian candi dari jaman baheula yang kebetulan tertimbun di bawah kampus tempatnya bersekolah (!). Sementara latar belakang peserta pula bermacam-macam. Sejak dari pelajar, mahasiswa, birokrat, jurnalis, fotografer, sampai pesohor seni sekaliber Amir Sidharta (!!).
Dan berikut di bawah ini kami dari Dewan Kurator BLIPfest mempersilakan Karib & Kerabat BLIPfest untuk menyimak sebagian kecil dari foto-foto yang belakangan riuh mewarnai komputer kami. Gambar-gambar yang ditampilkan di sini bukan bersandar pada bagus tidaknya karya tersebut, tapi kami semata hendak menyuguhkan fenomena sedemikian beragamnya pilihan tema yang dimunculkan–dan itu duhai menarik bagi kami. Benar, tiap kepala mendefinisikan “budaya” dengan logika uniknya sendiri. Bravo!
