The simplicity, here, is awesome, but however, at the same time, makes me hurt! I cant find any better word!
Bravo!

Yes Kiarang, the homes of the men before and after. Both in "Life" and "Cemetery" there is a substantial connection and as well a photographic, iconografic likeness. Beautiful both photos.

انگار همه مجبور به زندگی هستند ولی سوال اینکه این همه خانه ولی در هیچکدام شور زندگی وجود ندارد انگار تهی هستند از همه چیز.چقدر دلگیر است در میان جمع بودن ولی تنها و تهی.این عکستان را هم دوست می دارم استاد عزیز موفق و شاد باشید

Is that a real building, Kiarang? Anyway, it is not only good for its monoton pattern on a very strictly reduced color palette, but also as a small abstraction from real world where people live side by side. A minimalistic image that is based on the extremely complex interrelations between people, relatives, friends, neighbors, and so on.

Perhaps a bit more contrast? (Attachment)

Good work!

Nick

آری
تکرار، تکرار، تکرار، تکرار، تکرار، تکرار، تکرار، تکرار. تکرار شادمانی های حقیر زندگی در این کره خاکی
این تمام چیزی است که در ذهن من وجود داشت و خودش را نتوانست در داستان یا فیلم جای دهد. و خوشحالم که عکاسی توانست مرا از بار آن خلاص کند
ممنون افسانه عزیز که با نوشته ی پر حوصله ات بر عکسم چیزی افزودی

همین نزديكيها
كار ساده ای نیست وقتی بخواهی يك قدم به جلو بروی تا پیرامون عکسی چیزی بنویسی.قلم لابلای انگشتانت خشک میشود.درست همان لحظه قلبت تاپ تاپ ميكند و فکرت از كار مي افتد.بعد انگار با جسمی سنگین پشت سرت ميكوبند و تازه یادت مي آید كه از دیدن عکسی آنقدر به وجد آمده ای تا چند خطی درباره اش بنویسی.عکس فراتر از يك نوستالژيست.فراتر از دربهای آهنی با آن سوراخهای مستطیل شکل كه با شیشه و يك صفحه ي فلزی باز و بسته میشوند و درونشان جز تونلي سیاه چیزی نمي يابي.
عکس به لحاظ ویژگیهای بصری دارای يكنواختي مرموزيست كه وادار ت ميكند ساعتها به آن بنگری، آنقدر كه وقتی به خودت مي آيي مي بيني در بینهایت تقارن خطوط مستطیل شکل حل شده ای.نقطه ي طلايي در این عکس وجود ندارد نمیتواند هم در ميان این چهار گوشهای سرد و بي نور كه با ذهن خلاق و موشکافانه ي عکاس كه بي هیچ نقصی در كنار يكديگر چیده شده اند جايی داشته باشد.اتاقکهای سرد و تاريك كه سایه ای مخوف را در وجود ت میافکند و بیشتر به سلول میمانند تا جايی برای زندگی.سرت داغ میشود و انگار با تلنگری پی مي بري كه در گرداب روزمره گي افتاده ای.انگار چیزی راه گلويت را میبندد.فریاد ميكني اما صدای بي صدایت در ميان خطوط خشک بیرنگی گم میشود.و تمام اینها درست زمانی اتفاق مي افتد كه در گوشه ای امن و دنج در خود زانوی غم به بغل گرفته ای و باز درست زمانی اتفاق مي افتد كه در مقابل خطوطی كه تنگنای تاريكي را برایت به تصویر كشيده است خشک ميشوي ساعتها و شاید هم روزها به آن مينگري تکرار ميبيني و تکرار.همان احساس مبهمی كه دیر زمانیست لایه ای از آن مثل بختک بر روي زندگی ات افتاده و تو آن را به خوبی میشناسی .و باز تكرا ميبيني و تکرار.به نظر من عکس پیام نوميدانه ای ندارد چرا كه این امید را به تو میدهد شاید كمي آنطرف تر از این اتاقکهای خاموش يك جفت قمری بر شاخه های سنگین درخت سر در بالهای يكديگر فرو برده اند و به يكديگر عشق مي ورزند.انتقال این احساسات پر رنگ با این قوت كه ذهن و روحت را به شدت درگیر ميكند را فقط میشود در عکسهای "كيارنگ علايي"
جست.آري من در يكي از این اتاقكها هستم.شاید سومی از بالا سمت چپ یا شاید پايينترين در سمت راست. پرده را كنار میزنم.
کاش باران ببارد تا از لمس قطرات بر اندام لرزان شیشه ها لذتی ناشناس را تجربه کنم.تا شاید پرنده ای به بهانه ي نوشیدن آب از ميان شیارهای آهنین پنجره ها به اتاقم سري بزند و طوفان اندوهی را كه بر جانم چنگ میزند را بزداید و عطر خوشی سراپای وجود م را فرا گیرد.سایه روشنهايي كه برروی اجتماعی از این دربچه های سرد و بي روح نقش بسته انگار میخواهد به من و تو بگوید
"همين نزديكيها" ابرهايي پر باران بر تن آسمان سنگینی ميكنند....

i know what you mean, but have no interest to have a human figure somewhere in the windows! because it's like many other captures of this subject!

Avi  Avi     {K:70138} 6/27/2008
good, my friend, but I feel just one small human figure somewhere would pump up the composition so much.. it would also justify your title.. wht do you think ?

Hi Kiarang
A final comment - its very interesting to note that the politicians/architechts/engineers who plan, design and construct these featureless and lifeless monstrosities very, very seldom live in them thereselves!

Dear Kiarang,
I appreciate your graphic pattern pic here as also the title generates a lot of thoughts to many of us. Very well analysed by Joggy. Much appreciated as well. Let's make our lives somewhat different as you suggest. Your work has a positive impact.
best regards,
Paul

your comment is valuable for me!

Joggie van Staden Joggie van Staden   {K:41700} 6/27/2008
Wow Kiarang! I find this a very strong image - especially with the Title which leaves it open to interpretation! To me it speaks of humanity which is kept hostage by its own inventions - "The Life" has become NO LIFE! Within these gray walls people has to eek out a living in confined space, like ants in a nest - No freedom and scarcely a pint of fresh air to breath, no real freedom, souls bound up in square holes!Fine work my friend! 7/7

Hi Aziz, why not starting today fostering traditions and native culture. That of your own and that of others. That is modern as well as it is just starting today. Try to get outside these buildings others created for obvious reasons.
