Organizer

This series has been produced from nearly 4500 photos, edited on computer almost non-stop for one year to create 12 “perfect” photos, the crowds exactly as the photographer would have wished them to be, creating the perfect “decisive instants” during a brief moment in history called the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. This series of technically accomplished artworks is both a statement of the uncontested acceptance of Photoshop into the creative vocabulary of art photography, and a subtle poke at Cartier-Bresson’s theory of the “instant décisif”, saying, very very briefly that the perfect picture could or should not be staged, amongst a whole ton of other socio-political metaphor!
