In 1986, Andy Warhol said, "In the future everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes". So here´s a new twist on Photography and it´s for everyone. Keeping in mind that every scar has a story to tell, every singer has a song and every face has a past, I´ve launched the MODEL SAFARI in the summer of 2015, where people with and without modeling or acting experience are invited via online application and word of mouth for a photo shooting here in Cologne Germany.
The focus of this MODEL SAFARI gets its source material from the ever elusive term known as the Human Condition. I believe that Photography captures and preserves a single moment in such a fascinating way to a point that in today´s society we are all comparing our special moments via social media at such an alarming rate, yet there is a void of true examination of each of these special moments. Socrates once said, "The unexamined life is not worth living". So along with the photographs there will be a short interview based on the communications and vibe between the photographer, that´s me, and you, the model. This material summing up a type of visual and text documentation which will be edited together with the model's approval for a future single or traveling exhibition based on the success of the MODEL SAFARI.
This exhibition may also be lucky and honored to be published with a book release which is important because a book makes it physically tangible for viewers. Each model should be 18 years or older or have their parent´s approval and written consent to be included. Below is a list of ideas for Projects to be considered for during the Casting process. If you don´t find where you fit but you have a great idea for a topic, please voice your opinion.
