I started my journey 30 years ago.
0
15260
3000
Svoje putovanje započeo sam prije 30 godina.
00:18
And I worked in mines. And I realized that
1
18260
2000
Radeći u rudnicima shvatio sam
00:20
this was a world unseen.
2
20260
2000
da se radi o još neviđenom dijelu svijeta.
00:22
And I wanted, through color and large format cameras
3
22260
2000
Želja mi je, stoga, bila da pomoću boje i panoramskih fotoaparata
00:24
and very large prints,
4
24260
2000
te velikih, panoramskih ispisa,
00:26
to make a body of work that somehow
5
26260
2000
sastaviti opus koji bi na neki način
00:28
became symbols of our
6
28260
3000
postao simbol našeg
00:31
use of the landscape,
7
31260
2000
korištenja krajolika,
00:33
how we use the land.
8
33260
2000
načina na koji se služimo zemljom.
00:35
And to me this was
9
35260
2000
Za mene je
00:37
a key component that somehow, through this medium of photography,
10
37260
3000
ključni čimbenik bio: koristiti se fotografijom
00:40
which allows us to contemplate these landscapes,
11
40260
3000
koja nam omogućava da promišljamo te krajolike.
00:43
that I thought photography was perfectly suited
12
43260
3000
Fotografija je, mislio sam, savršena
00:46
to doing this type of work.
13
46260
2000
za ovakvu vrstu posla.
00:48
And after 17 years of photographing large industrial landscapes,
14
48260
4000
I nakon 17 godina fotografiranja velikih industrijskih krajolika,
00:52
it occurred to me that
15
52260
2000
shvatio sam da
00:54
oil is underpinning the scale and speed.
16
54260
2000
je nafta ta koja ilustrira razmjer i brzinu,
00:56
Because that is what has changed,
17
56260
2000
jer upravo je to ono što se promijenilo:
00:58
is the speed at which we're taking all our resources.
18
58260
3000
brzina kojom crpimo sve naše resurse.
01:01
And so then I went out to develop a whole series
19
61260
2000
Tako sam započeo stvarati čitavu seriju fotografija
01:03
on the landscape of oil.
20
63260
2000
na temu naftnih krajolika.
01:05
And what I want to do is to kind of map an arc
21
65260
5000
I ono što želim je izraditi neku vrstu karte kretanja
01:10
that there is extraction, where we're taking it from the ground,
22
70260
3000
od vađenja, kada ju izvlačimo iz zemlje
01:13
refinement. And that's one chapter.
23
73260
2000
i prerade - što predstavlja prvo poglavlje.
01:15
The other chapter that I wanted to look at was
24
75260
2000
Drugo poglavlje koje sam htio uzeti u obzir vezano je za
01:17
how we use it -- our cities,
25
77260
2000
način na koji ju koristimo: naši gradovi,
01:19
our cars, our motorcultures,
26
79260
2000
naši automobili, naša automobilska kultura,
01:21
where people gather around the vehicle
27
81260
4000
gdje se ljudi okupljaju oko vozila
01:25
as a celebration.
28
85260
2000
kao na nekakvoj svečanosti.
01:27
And then the third one is this idea of the end of oil,
29
87260
2000
Zatim, tu je i treće poglavlje vezano za ideju o kraju zaliha nafte,
01:29
this entropic end,
30
89260
2000
tom entropijskom kraju,
01:31
where all of our parts of cars, our tires,
31
91260
3000
gdje su svi dijelovi naših automobila, guma,
01:34
oil filters,
32
94260
2000
naftni filtri,
01:36
helicopters, planes --
33
96260
2000
helikopteri, avioni...
01:38
where are the landscapes where all of that stuff ends up?
34
98260
3000
Gdje su ti krajolici kamo sve to nestaje?
01:41
And to me, again, photography was
35
101260
2000
Ponavljam, fotografija predstavlja za mene
01:43
a way in which I could explore and research the world,
36
103260
3000
način na koji mogu proučavati i istraživati svijet
01:46
and find those places.
37
106260
2000
i pronaći ta mjesta.
01:48
And another idea that I had as well,
38
108260
2000
Također, tu je još jedna ideja do koje sam došao,
01:50
that was brought forward by an ecologist --
39
110260
4000
a koju je prvi iznio jedan ekolog.
01:54
he basically did a calculation where
40
114260
3000
On je jednostavno napravio izračun pri kojem je
01:57
he took one liter of gas and said,
41
117260
2000
uzeo jednu litru benzina i rekao:
01:59
well, how much carbon it would take, and how much organic material?
42
119260
4000
"Koliko je potrebno ugljika i koliko organskog materijala?"
02:03
It was 23 metric tons for one liter.
43
123260
3000
Radilo se o 23 tone po litri.
02:06
So whenever I fill up my gas,
44
126260
2000
Stoga, svaki put kada punim gorivo
02:08
I think of that liter, and how much carbon.
45
128260
2000
mislim o toj litri i o tome koliko je ugljika potrebno.
02:10
And I know that oil comes from the ocean and phytoplankton,
46
130260
3000
Znam da naftu dobivamo iz oceana i fitoplanktona,
02:13
but he did the calculations for our Earth
47
133260
3000
ali on je napravio izračun za cijelu Zemlju
02:16
and what it had to do to produce that amount of energy.
48
136260
2000
i koliko joj je bilo potrebno da proizvede takvu količinu energije.
02:18
From the photosynthetic growth,
49
138260
2000
Proizvedemo li ih od biljaka
02:20
it would take 500 years of that growth
50
140260
3000
bilo bi potrebno 500 godina fotosinteze
02:23
to produce what we use, the 30 billion barrels we use per year.
51
143260
5000
za proizvodnju 30 milijardi barela koje upotrijebimo godišnje.
02:28
And that also brought me to the fact that
52
148260
2000
Ti izračuni također su me naveli na razmišljanje o tome
02:30
this poses such a risk to our society.
53
150260
3000
koliki rizik to predstavlja za naše društvo.
02:33
Looking at 30 billion per year,
54
153260
5000
Imajući u vidu tih 30 milijardi barela godišnje,
02:38
we look at our two largest suppliers,
55
158260
2000
pogledajmo na primjeru dvaju naših najvećih dobavljača,
02:40
Saudi Arabia and now Canada, with its dirty oil.
56
160260
2000
Saudijske Arabije, te sada i Kanade sa svojom prljavom naftom:
02:42
And together they only form about 15 years of supply.
57
162260
4000
zajedno jamče tek 15 godina nabave.
02:46
The whole world, at 1.2 trillion estimated reserves,
58
166260
3000
Cijeli svijet, sa svojim dokazanim rezervama od 1,2 bilijuna
02:49
only gives us about 45 years.
59
169260
2000
jamči nabavu tek za oko 45 godina.
02:51
So, it's not a question of if, but a question of when
60
171260
3000
Stoga, pitanje nije "hoće li" nego "kada će" se
02:54
peak oil will come upon us.
61
174260
2000
završetak maksimalne točke u proizvodnji nafte obrušiti na nas.
02:56
So, to me, using photography --
62
176260
2000
Po mom je mišljenju fotografija,
02:58
and I feel that all of us need to now begin to really
63
178260
3000
a držim da se svi mi već sada trebamo zaista
03:01
take the task of using our talents,
64
181260
2000
latiti zadatka i iskoristiti naše talente,
03:03
our ways of thinking,
65
183260
3000
naše načine mišljenja,
03:06
to begin to deal with what I think is probably
66
186260
2000
kako bi se uhvatili u koštac s onim što smatram da predstavlja
03:08
one of the most challenging issues of our time,
67
188260
3000
jedno od najizazovnijih pitanja našeg vremena:
03:11
how to deal with our energy crisis.
68
191260
2000
kako se nositi s energetskom krizom.
03:13
And I would like to say that, on the other side of it,
69
193260
2000
S druge strane, želio bih da mogu
03:15
30, 40 years from now, the children that I have,
70
195260
2000
za 30, 40 godina, svojoj djeci reći,
03:17
I can look at them and say, "We did everything
71
197260
2000
da ih mogu pogledati u oči i reći: "Učinili smo sve
03:19
we possibly, humanly could do,
72
199260
3000
što je bilo u našoj ljudskoj moći,
03:22
to begin to mitigate this,
73
202260
3000
kako bi to ublažili".
03:25
what I feel is one of the most important and critical
74
205260
2000
Mislim da se radi o jednom od najvažnijih i odlučujućih
03:27
moments in our time. Thank you.
75
207260
3000
trenutaka našeg vremena. Hvala vam.
