Отв: Статуя Свободы из Алеппо Пользователь: sult (IP-адрес скрыт) Дата: 25, August, 2018 18:58 In fact, Syrian artist Tammam Azzam made the montage of images on his computer back in 2012, during the beginning of Syria’s uprising in the Arab Spring.
?The statue doesn’t actually exist in real life - in fact if you look at the edges on the statue's crown this is plain to see. In an interview with AlArabiya.net, Azzam, who now lives in Dubai, said: The Statue of Liberty in New York does not represent US politics and I used it only as the symbol of freedom. The piece at the time was carrying a message of optimism despite all of the destruction in Syria. и ваще контекст виртуальной статуи был совсем другой.. A “touching” artwork created during the beginning of Syria’s uprising in 2012 has caught the attention of a worldwide audience. Through digital media Syrian artist Tammam Azzam has reconstructed the Statue of Liberty from the rubble of a destroyed building in Syria. But during an interview with Al Arabiya.net, Azzam said he was ‘surprised’ by what he said was the ‘wrong interpretation’ the picture had recently received, compared to the more positive reactions it received in 2012. He said pro-Assad and regime loyalists were sharing the picture and lying about its origins saying: “From a Syrian artist to America, using his own destroyed home in Aleppo.” He said the work was done by a photomontage on the computer and not a real statue. The Syrian artist explained: “The Statue of Liberty in New York does not represent US politics and I used it only as the symbol of freedom.” “The piece at the time was carrying a message of optimism despite all of the destruction in Syria,” he added “but that was a long time ago.” Azzam said he doesn’t respond to people who were using his picture in a context that he had not intended. “I’m an artist, and I’m busy with all my art work, and have no time to respond to anyone, I draw people and their worries, and not about politics,” he said. |
