It’s pretty hard to describe and display the Urbaum project made by Dan Florin Spataru however, it worths to try.It’s pretty hard to describe and display the Urbaum project made by Dan Florin Spataru however, it worthing to try.
His large collection of landscapes works as a body of approaches to something more than just nature in a frame. The compilation in the website is a tremendous challenge to the traditional internet audience, that is use to scroll-down without really see. The image consumption nowadays force us to leave appart what is not dramatic or color-saturated, limiting our beauty standards. In that way, Urbaum is a provocative experience that demands a lot of attention from the viewer. In the artistic tradition of landscape representation is well know that you can’t apprehend the whole and many details are missing during that selection:
Sometimes I perceive photography (as a tool) as a hindrance, as a lamentable limitation full of caprices and weaknesses, which is dependent only on light and not on sound, fragrance, height, wind, etc, etc. Still, I continue to take photos as I cannot scan or uproot pieces of nature in order to multiply them. That is why, although the images are captured by means of photographic tools, I do not consider them real photos as such.
Spataru is perfectly aware of this and yet, prefers to offer a heavy sensorial experience that can only be appreciated in its full capacity when the spectator is willing to dive into. In that way, this post humbly accepts its inability to grasp the essence of the project, but greatly encouraged to visit their website.
