a physical image rich in psychic properties Photograph - Limited Edition of 10

Photography as a "physical image rich in psychic properties" is an intentional selection of what the camera, as an "extended hand of consciousness" wants to record and to show and share beyond what it "records". As a "witness of one's own subjectivity", photography is a "formed consciousness" (Šuvaković, 2005: 234, 235) - the act of selecting what appears in the mind of the author as a phenomenon of reality; a personal and private experience transferred into a physical entity, which per se, communicates and illustrates the inner state of the individual placed behind the photographic lens. Ernest Mazarekić's photo series "Peter Pan" is a sign of the psychologization of carefully selected subjects. The central motif, as well as the topic of artistic research, is the concept of "man" and his status in contemporary society. Often and regardless of his personal beliefs, "man" equates to the nomenclature of the dominant, strong and aggressive sex. With a series of 20 photographs, the central motifs of which are precisely ten men, the author explores the "otherness" of masculinity: moving away from the stereotypical notion of "masculinity", the author points to its sensibility, benevolence and openness to growth and change, i.e. the creation of health, more mature and positive . community. By placing a "shy" man with a straightened queen and covered genitalia in the photographic frame, the focus turns precisely to sensuality, intimacy and determination with the phallus as a signifier of male cruelty, with the intention of breaking the male archetype. Adding to the protagonists an object of the external world with which the latter identify as such, the photographs exist as "bare" representations of the inner state of the "other" man, as well as the author's invitation to understanding and conceptual recapitulation.
