Pameran Fotografi Patmawitana
19 april 2007 10 mei 2007
ViaVia, Jl Prawirotaman 30, Jogjakarta
0274-386557
Pameran bertajuk Pengembara Sejati, adalah pameran fotografi tunggal yang
kedua oleh fotografer Patmawitana (yang pertama di Novotel tahun 1998).
Pameran ini mengetengahkan konsep kehidupan manusia, yang berada diatas dan
dibawah dua gunung di Jawa Timur, yaitu Gunug Bromo dan Gunung Kawah Ijen. Di
Kawah Ijen, Banyuwangi, aktivitas penambang belerang merupakan aktivitas
spiritual. Namum menambang belerang juga merupakan mata pencaharian mereka,
oleh karena itu mereka tidak keberatan untuk mendapat upah yang sangat rendah.
Sedangkan di Gunung Bromo ada upacara ritual Kasadha yang dilakukan setiap
tahun. Upacara ini dilakukan oleh manusia Tengger di sekitar Gunung Bromo.
Kasadha adalah upacara untuk mengembalikan kesuburan bumi dimana ada harapan
untuk mengembalikan kondisi alam ke keadaan normal. Dimana tidak ada lagi
bencana, baik kekeringan, banjir atau kebakaran hutan di area Gunung Bromo.
Kedua aktivitas tersebut di atas itulah yang mau dituangkan dalam rekaman
gambar fotografi Patmawitana. Inti dari pameran ini: pencarian manusia dalam
bekerja dan spiritualitas tetap berjalan seiring dalam pencapaian titik
tertentu, demi suatu kelangsungan hidup sejati.
