To tell you the truth, I think World Press Photo 2017 may be one of the best exhibitions I have ever seen. Although there is no valuable ancient antique, precious sculpture created by the prestigious artist or wonderful symphony, it still touched my heart again and again. The majority of the so-called ‘'art'' are usually associated with the words like elegance, abstraction, or even dullness. However, this time these photographs feature the world news, reversing the image of art showing to the public. It doesn't always look perfect or exquisite as we assume, and it doesn't definitely come from a well-known photographer. I believed that quite a few people will wonder why so many participants are willing to support this activity every year and want to know how it could go widespread. In fact, the spirit and belief of those photos play the vital role in World Press Photo. Ranging from daily life to the death of the president, it retains so many things happening around us while we forgot or even didn't know at all. We are born to live in happiness, ironically, there are still others staying in fear, hopelessness, starvation, and the lack of education. Have anyone ever care about the whole eco-environment? Sea turtles feed on plastic bags, and rhinos' horn is cut down to save ‘' humans" lives. More horribly, Donald Trump is trying to develop a new fossil oil tube system which highly endangers the inhabitant of the local aborigine. The host tells us that civilian consciousness is significant in this young generation during the drastic change of this international world: robots want to be mankind, while mankind is gradually turning into robots. Isn't it interesting, Tim?👼👼👼👼👼
Otto,
ReplyDeleteGood job! I think that you gained the exact insights that Summer wanted you to gain when she took you to the World Photo Exhibit. If we let it, the world can be a very sad and depressing place. It's our job to figure out what we can do about that.
