Jimmy Nelson: Gorgeous portraits of the world's vanishing people

Translator: Abe Felisa Reviewer: Mee Ling

Now, I've been making pictures for quite a long time,

Saya telah memotret cukup lama,

and normally speaking, a picture like this, for me,

dan pada umumnya, foto seperti ini, bagi saya,

should be straightforward.

seharusnya jelas.

I'm in southern Ethiopia. I'm with the Daasanach.

Saya berada di selatan Etiopia. Saya bersama suku Daasanach.

There's a big family, there's a very beautiful tree,

Ada sebuah keluarga besar, Ada pohon yang sangat cantik,

and I make these pictures with this very large,

dan saya memotret foto-foto ini dengan pelat kamera film

extremely cumbersome, very awkward technical plate film camera.

yang sangat besar, tidak praktis, dan agak sulit digunakan

Does anybody know 4x5 and 10x8 sheets of film,

Apakah ada yang tahu lembar film ukuran 4x5 dan 10x8,

and you're setting it up, putting it on the tripod.

dan Anda mengaturnya, meletakkannya di atas kaki kamera.

I've got the family, spent the better part of a day talking with them.

Saya berhasil dekat dengan keluarga itu, berbincang dengan mereka sepanjang hari.

They sort of understand what I'm on about.

Mereka cukup paham yang saya sedang lakukan.

They think I'm a bit crazy, but that's another story.

Mereka pikir saya sedikit gila, tapi itu cerita lainnya.

And what's most important for me is the beauty and the aesthetic,

Dan yang paling penting untuk saya adalah kecantikan dan keindahan,

and that's based on the light.

dan itu bergantung pada pencahayaan.

So the light's setting on my left-hand side,

Jadi cahaya matahari terbenam di sebelah kiri saya,

and there's a balance in the communication with the Daasanach,

lalu ada keseimbangan komunikasi dengan kaum Daasanach,

keluarga dengan 30 orang, semua umur.

the family of 30, all ages.

There's babies and there's grandparents,

Ada bayi dan ada pula kakek nenek,

I'm getting them in the tree and waiting for the light to set,

Saya mendapatkan mereka di pohon itu dan menunggu cahaya terbenam,

and it's going, going, and I've got one sheet of film left,

dan semua berjalan lancar, dan saya punya satu lembar film tersisa,

and I think, I'm okay, I'm in control, I'm in control.

dan saya pikir, saya baik, saya dapat mengendalikannya, semuanya terkendali.

I'm setting it up and I'm setting up, and the light's just about to go,

Saya menyetelnya, dan mataharinya hampir terbenam,

dan saya ingin warna fotonya keemasan, Saya ingin hasilnya indah.

and I want it to be golden, I want it to be beautiful.

Saya mau mataharinya tepat di horison sehingga menerangi mereka,

I want it to be hanging on the horizon so it lights these people,

dengan segala potensi yang dapat ditampilkan.

in all the potential glory that they could be presented.

Hampir terbenam, hampir terbenam,

And it's about to go and it's about to go,

saya meletakkan lembaran film saya di kamera,

and I put my sheet in the camera,

it's all focused,

semuanya fokus,

and all of a sudden there's a massive "whack,"

mendadak ada suara "plak" yang kencang,

and I'm looking around, and in the top corner of the tree,

lalu saya melihat sekeliling, dan pada sudut atas pohon,

one of the girls slaps the girl next to her,

salah satu gadis menampar gadis lain di sebelahnya,

and the girl next to her pulls her hair, and all hell breaks loose,

kemudian gadis itu menarik rambutnya, dan semuanya menjadi kacau,

and I'm standing there going, "But the light, the light.

dan saya tetap berdiri di situ, "Tapi mataharinyanya.

Wait, I need the light. Stay still! Stay still!"

Tunggu, aku butuh mataharinya. Jangan bergerak!"

And they start screaming,

Lalu mereka berteriak,

and then one of the men turns around and starts screaming, shouting,

dan ada satu pria berbalik berteriak, membentak,

and the whole tree collapses, not the tree, but the people in the tree.

dan seluruh pohon roboh, bukan pohonnya, tapi orang-orang di pohon itu.

Semuanya berlarian, berteriak, dan berhamburan kembali ke desa

They're all running around screaming, and they run back off into the village

dalam kekacauan ini, saya tertinggal di sana berdiri di balik tripod.

in this sort of cloud of smoke, and I'm left there standing behind my tripod.

Lembaran film masih ada di tangan saya, cahay mataharinya telah hilang, saya gagal memotret.

I've got my sheet, and the light's gone, and I can't make the picture.

Ke mana mereka semua pergi? Saya tidak tahu.

Where have they all gone? I had no idea.

Butuh satu minggu untuk mengambil gambar yang Anda lihat di sini hari ini,

It took me a week, it took me a week to make the picture which you see here today,

dan saya akan memberitahu Anda mengapa. (Tepuk tangan)

and I'll tell you why. (Applause)

It's very, very, very simple -- I spent a week going around the village,

Sangat sangat sederhana -- Satu minggu saya berkeliling desa,

and I went to every single one: "Hello, can you meet at the tree?

dan saya menghampiri setiap orang: "Halo, bisa bertemu saya di pohon itu?

What's your story? Who are you?"

Apa kisahmu? Siapakah kau?"

And it all turned out to be about a boyfriend, for crying out loud.

Dan ternyata semua gara-gara pacar, ya ampun.

I mean, I have teenage kids. I should know.

Maksud saya, saya punya anak remaja. Seharusnya saya tahu tentang hal itu.

It was about a boyfriend. The girl on the top, she'd kissed the wrong boy,

Itu karena urusan pacar. Gadis yang di atas, dia salah mencium laki-laki,

and they'd started having a fight.

dan mereka mulai bertengkar.

And there was a very, very beautiful lesson for me in that:

Dan ada suatu pelajaran yang sangat indah bagi saya:

If I was going to photograph these people

Jika saya ingin memotret masyarakat ini

in the dignified, respectful way that I had intended,

dengan cara pantas dan terhormat yang saya inginkan,

and put them on a pedestal, I had to understand them.

dan memamerkan mereka, saya harus memahami mereka.

It wasn't just about turning up. It wasn't just about shaking a hand.

Ini bukan hanya soal kehadiran. Ini bukan hanya soal berjabat tangan.

It wasn't about just saying, "I'm Jimmy, I'm a photographer."

Ini bukan cuma sebuah perkataan, "Saya Jimmy, seorang fotografer."

Saya harus mengenal setiap dari mereka,

I had to get to know every single one of them,

right down to whose boyfriend is who and who is allowed to kiss who.

sampai pada siapa pacar siapa dan siapa yang boleh mencium siapa.

Jadi pada akhirnya, seminggu kemudian,

So in the end, a week later,

and I was absolutely exhausted,

dan saya betul-betul kelelahan,

I mean on my knees going, "Please get back up in that tree.

Saya berlutut memohon, "Tolong kembali ke pohon itu.

It's a picture I need to make."

Saya perlu mengambil gambar ini."

They all came back. I put them all back up in the tree.

Mereka semua kembali. Saya mengaturnya lagi di pohon itu.

I made sure the girls were in the right position,

Saya memastikan para gadis ada di posisi yang tepat,

and the ones that slapped, one was over there.

yang menampar, satu lagi di sana.

They did look at each other. If you look at it later,

Mereka saling pandang. Jika Anda melihatnya nanti,

Mereka saling pandang dengan amarah,

they're staring at each other very angrily,

pohon dan semuanya sudah pas,

and I've got the tree and everything,

di saat-saat terakhir, "Kambingnya!"

and then at the last minute, I go, "The goat, the goat!

Saya butuh sesuatu yang dapat dilihat. Saya butuh kambing putih di tengah."

I need something for the eye to look at. I need a white goat in the middle."

Jadi saya tukar-tukar kambing di sana. Saya atur kambingnya.

So I swapped all the goats around. I put the goats in.

Itu pun saya salah, jika Anda lihat di sebelah kiri,

But even then I got it wrong, because if you can see on the left-hand side,

Ada bocah lain kabur karena saya tidak memilih kambingnya.

another little boy storms off because I didn't choose his goat.

Jadi moralnya adalah saya harus belajar bicara bahasa kambing selain Daasanach.

So the moral being I have to learn to speak Goat as well as Daasanach.

Tapi bagaimanapun, usaha untuk mendapatkan foto itu

But anyway, the effort that goes into that picture

dan kisah yang telah saya hubungkan dengan Anda,

and the story that I've just related to you,

seperti yang bisa dibayangkan,

as you can imagine,

ada ratusan kisah yang aneh dan nyentrik lainnya

there are hundreds of other bizarre, eccentric stories

dari ratusan orang yang lain di seluruh dunia.

of hundreds of other people around the world.

And this was about four years ago, and I set off on a journey,

Dan ini sekitar empat tahun yang lalu, dan saya memulai perjalanan,

to be honest, a very indulgent journey.

sejujurnya, perjalanan yang sangat nikmat.

I'm a real romantic. I'm an idealist, perhaps in some ways naive.

Saya sangat romantis. Saya idealis, mungkin naif dalam beberapa hal.

But I truly believe that there are people on the planet that are beautiful.

Tapi saya sungguh percaya ada masyarakat yang indah di planet ini.

It's very, very simple. It's not rocket science.

Sangat sangat sederhana. Bukan sesuatu yang amat sulit.

I wanted to put these people on a pedestal.

Saya ingin menunjukkan masyarakat ini.

I wanted to put them on a pedestal like they'd never been seen before.

Saya ingin memamerkan mereka seperti yang belum pernah terlihat sebelumnya.

So, I chose about 35 different groups,

Jadi, saya memilih sekitar 35 kelompok, suku, dan budaya pribumi yang berbeda.

tribes, indigenous cultures.

They were chosen purely because of their aesthetic,

Mereka dipilih semata-mata karena keindahan mereka,

and I'll talk more about that later.

dan saya akan bahas lebih jauh nanti.

I'm not an anthropologist, I have no technical study with the subject,

Saya bukan antropolog, saya tidak punya pengetahuan teknis tentang hal itu,

but I do have a very, very, very deep passion,

namun saya sungguh memiliki ketertarikan yang amat sangat,

and I believe that I had to choose the most beautiful people on the planet

dan saya percaya saya harus memilih masyarakat paling indah di planet ini

in the most beautiful environment that they lived in,

pada lingkungan tinggal mereka yang paling indah,

and put the two together and present them to you.

dan menyatukan keduanya dan memperlihatkannya pada Anda.

About a year ago,

Sekitar setahun yang lalu,

I published the first pictures,

Saya mempublikasikan foto-foto pertama,

and something extraordinarily exciting happened.

dan sesuatu yang luar biasa menarik terjadi.

The whole world came running,

Seluruh dunia menghampiri,

and it was a bizarre experience, because everybody, from everywhere:

itu pengalaman yang aneh, karena semua orang, dari segala penjuru:

"Who are they? What are they? How many are they?

"Siapa mereka? Mereka itu apa? Ada berapa?

Where did you find them? Are they real? You faked it.

Di mana kau menemukan mereka? Apa mereka nyata? Ini dibuat-buat.

Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me." Millions of questions for which,

Katakan pada saya." Jutaan pertanyaan,

to be honest, I don't have the answers.

yang sejujurnya, saya tidak punya jawabannya.

I really didn't have the answers,

Saya sungguh tak punya jawabannya,

and I could sort of understand, okay, they're beautiful, that was my intention,

dan saya cukup mengerti. Baiklah, mereka indah, dan itulah keinginan saya,

but the questions that I was being fired at,

namun pertanyaan yang dilontarkan pada saya,

I could not answer them.

saya tak dapat menjawabnya.

Until, it was quite amusing, about a year ago

Sampai, ini cukup lucu, sekitar setahun yang lalu

somebody said, "You've been invited to do a TED Talk."

seseorang berkata, "Kau diundang berceramah di TED Talk."

And I said, "Ted? Ted? Who's Ted? I haven't met Ted before."

Saya bilang, "Ted? Siapa itu Ted? Aku belum pernah bertemu Ted."

He said, "No, a TED Talk." I said, "But who's Ted?

Dia bilang, "Tidak, TED Talk." Saya bilang, "Tapi Ted siapa?

Do I have to talk to him or do we sit with each other on the stage?"

Apa aku harus bicara padanya atau kami akan duduk bersama di panggung?"

And, "No, no, the TED group. You must know about it."

Dan, "Tidak, tidak, grup TED. Kau harusnya tahu."

And I said, "I've been in a teepee and in a yurt for the last five years.

Dan saya bilang, "Saya ada di tenda Indian dan Mongolia lima tahun terakhir,

How do I know who Ted is? Introduce me to him."

Bagaimana saya tahu Ted? Perkenalkan saya padanya."

Anyway, to cut a long story short, he said, "We have to do a TED Talk."

Jadi, singkatnya, dia bilang, "Kita harus berceramah di TED Talk."

Researched. Oh, exciting. That's great!

Penelitian. Oh, menyenangkan. Bagus!

And then eventually you're going to go to TEDGlobal.

Dan akhirnya Anda pergi ke TEDGlobal.

Even more exciting.

Lebih menyenangkan lagi.

But what you need to do, you need to teach the people lessons,

Namun apa yang harus Anda lakukan, Anda perlu memberikan pelajaran,

lessons that you've learned on your travels around the world

yang telah Anda pelajari dalam perjalanan Anda keliling dunia

with these tribes.

dengan suku-suku ini.

I thought, lessons, okay, well, what did I learn? Good question.

Saya berpikir, pelajaran, baik, apa yang saya pelajari? Pertanyaan bagus.

Three. You need three lessons, and they need to be terribly profound.

Tiga. Anda perlu tiga pelajaran, dan harus sangat mendalam.

(Laughter)

(Tertawa)

And I thought, three lessons, well, I'm going to think about it.

Dan saya berpikir, tiga pelajaran, hmm, Saya akan memikirkannya.

(Applause)

(Tepuk tangan)

So I thought long and hard, and I stood here two days ago,

Jadi saya berpikir panjang dan keras, dan berdiri di sini dua hari lalu,

and I had my test run, and I had my cards

dan saya diuji, dan mendapat kartu saya

and my clicker in my hands and my pictures were on the screen,

dan kliker di tangan saya dan foto-foto saya ada di layar,

and I had my three lessons, and I started presenting them,

saya siap dengan tiga pelajaran, dan saya mulai menampilkannya,

and I had this very odd out-of-body experience.

saya merasakan pengalaman keluar-dari-tubuh yang aneh.

I sort of looked at myself standing there, going, "Oh, Jimmy,

Saya seperti melihat diri saya berdiri di sana, "Oh, Jimmy,

this is complete loads of codswallop.

ini penuh dengan omong kosong.

All these people sitting here, they've had more of these talks,

Semua orang di sini, sudah banyak mendengar ceramah seperti ini,

they've heard more lessons in their life.

mereka mendengar lebih banyak pelajaran.

Who are you to tell them what you've learned?

Siapakah kau mengajarkan yang telah kau pelajari?

Who are you to guide them and who are you to show them

Siapa kau menuntun mereka dan siapa kau menunjukkan mereka

what is right, what is wrong, what these people have to say?"

yang benar dan salah, yang mereka harus katakan?"

Dan saya sedikit, ini sangat pribadi,

And I had a little bit of a, it was very private,

sedikit ciut.

a little bit of a meltdown.

I went back, and a little bit like the boy walking away from the tree with his goats,

Saya mundur, sedikit seperti bocah yang menjauhi pohon dengan kambingnya

very disgruntled, going, that didn't work,

sangat tidak puas, berpikir, ini tidak berhasil,

It wasn't what I wanted to communicate.

Ini bukan tentang apa yang saya ingin sampaikan.

And I thought long and hard about it, and I thought, well, the only thing

Dan saya berpikir panjang dan keras, dan saya pikir, satu-satunya hal

yang bisa saya sampaikan sangat mendasar.

I can communicate is very, very basic.

You have to turn it all the way around.

Kau harus memutarbalikannya.

There's only one person I know here, and that's me.

Hanya ada satu orang yang saya kenal di sini, dan itu adalah saya.

I'm still getting to know myself,

Saya masih dalam proses pengenalan diri,

and it's a lifelong journey, and I probably won't have all the answers,

ini adalah perjalanan seumur hidup, dan mungkin saya tak punya semua jawaban,

but I did learn some extraordinary things on this journey.

tapi saya memang belajar hal luar biasa dalam perjalanan ini.

So what I'm going to do is share with you my lessons.

Jadi yang akan saya lakukan adalah berbagi pelajaran dengan Anda.

It's a very, as I explained at the beginning, very indulgent, very personal,

Seperti yang saya katakan di awal, ini sangat nikmat, sangat personal,

how and why I made these pictures,

bagaimana dan mengapa saya memotret foto-foto ini,

and I leave it to you as the audience to interpret what these lessons

dan saya menyerahkan pada Anda sebagai penonton,

untuk menafsirkan apa arti pelajaran ini bagi saya, dan mungkin juga bagi Anda

have meant to me, what they could perhaps mean to you.

I traveled enormously as a child.

Saya banyak bepergian saat kecil.

Saya berpindah-pindah. Sebenarnya sangat asyik.

I was very nomadic. It was actually very exciting.

All around the world,

Di seluruh dunia,

dan saya punya firasat bahwa saya didorong dengan kecepatan tinggi

and I had this feeling that I was pushed off at great speed

to become somebody, become that individual, Jimmy.

untuk menjadi seseorang individu, si Jimmy.

Go off into the planet, and so I ran, and I ran,

Lepas ke dalam planet, maka saya berlari dan berlari,

and my wife sometimes kids me, "Jimmy, you look a bit like Forrest Gump,"

istri saya kadang mengolok, "Jimmy, kau mirip Forrest Gump,"

saya bilang, "Ada artinya, percayalah." Saya terus berlari, sampai di suatu tempat

but I'm, "No, it's all about something, trust me."

So I kept running and I kept running, and I sort of got somewhere

dan saya berdiri di sana dan melihat sekeliling dan berpikir,

and I sort of stood there and looked around me and I thought, well,

di manakah tempat saya? Di mana saya bisa cocok?

where do I belong? Where do I fit?

What am I? Where am I from? I had no idea.

Saya itu apa? Dari mana saya? Saya tidak tahu.

So I hope there aren't too many psychologists in this audience.

Jadi semoga tidak banyak psikolog di sini.

Perhaps part of this journey

Mungkin bagian dari perjalanan ini

is about me trying to find out where I belonged.

adalah tentang saya mencoba mencari tempat untuk saya

Jadi sambil saya pergi, jangan khawatir, saat saya tiba di suku-suku ini,

So whilst going, and don't worry, I didn't when I arrived with these tribes,

I didn't paint myself yellow and run around with these spears and loincloths.

saya tidak mengecat diri saya kuning dan berlarian dengan cawat dan tombak.

But what I did find were people that belonged themselves,

Tapi yang saya temukan adalah masyarakat yang menemukan tempatnya,

and they inspired me, some extraordinary people,

dan mereka menginspirasi saya, masyarakat yang luar biasa,

and I'd like to introduce you to some heroes of mine.

dan saya ingin mengenalkan Anda beberapa pahlawan saya.

They're the Huli.

Mereka adalah suku Huli.

Now, the Huli are some of the most extraordinarily beautiful people

Nah, suku Huli adalah beberapa dari masyarakat yang paling indah

on the planet.

di planet ini.

They're proud. They live in the Papua New Guinean highlands.

Mereka bangga. Mereka hidup di dataran tinggi Papua Nugini.

There's not many of them left, and they're called the Huli wigmen.

Tidak banyak dari mereka yang tersisa, dan mereka disebut manusia wig Huli.

And images like this, I mean, this is what it's all about for me.

Dan foto-foto seperti inilah yang berarti untuk saya.

And you've spent weeks and months there talking with them, getting there,

Mingguan dan bulanan berada di sana berbincang dengan mereka, mencapainya,

dan saya ingin memamerkan mereka, dan saya bilang, "Kau punya sesuatu

and I want to put them on a pedestal, and I said, "You have something

yang belum banyak terlihat.

that many people have not seen.

Kau berada di alam yang luar biasa ini."

You sit in this stunning nature."

And it really does look like this, and they really do look like this.

Dan ini sungguh seperti ini, dan mereka juga sungguh seperti ini.

Ini nyata.

This is the real thing.

Dan Anda tahu mengapa mereka bangga? Mengapa mereka terlihat seperti ini,

And you know why they're proud? You know why they look like this,

dan mengapa saya banting tulang secara harafiah

and why I broke my back literally

untuk memotret mereka dan menunjukkan Anda?

to photograph them and present them to you?

Karena mereka punya ritual luar biasa.

It's because they have these extraordinary rituals.

Suku Huli punya ritual ini: Saat mereka remaja,

And the Huli have this ritual: When they're teenagers,

becoming a man, they have to shave their heads,

beranjak dewasa, mereka harus mencukur kepala,

and they spend the rest of their life shaving their heads every single day,

dan seumur hidupnya mereka akan mencukur kepala setiap hari,

and what they do with that hair,

apa yang mereka lakukan dengan rambutnya,

mereka berkreasi dengannya,

they make it into a creation,

kreasi yang sangat personal.

a creation that's a very personal creation.

It's their creation. It's their Huli creation.

Kreasi mereka. Kreasi suku Huli mereka.

So they're called the Huli wigmen.

Maka mereka disebut manusia wig Huli.

That's a wig on his head.

Itu adalah wig di kepala mereka.

It's all made out of his human hair.

Terbuat dari rambutnya.

And then they decorate that wig with the feathers of the birds of paradise,

Lalu mereka menghias wig itu dengan bulu burung cendrawasih,

and don't worry, there are many birds there.

jangan khawatir, banyak burung di sana.

There's very few people living, so nothing to get too upset about,

Hanya ada sedikit orang, jadi tak ada yang perlu dikhawatirkan,

dan seumur hidup mereka membuat ulang topi mereka

and they spend the rest of their life recreating these hats

and getting further and further,

semakin jauh dan jauh,

dan sangat luar biasa, dan ada kelompok lain,

and it's extraordinary, and there's another group,

suku Kalang yang tinggal di desa sebelah,

they're called the Kalam, and they live in the next valley,

tapi mereka bicara bahasa yang sangat berbeda,

but they speak a completely different language,

mereka tampak sangat berbeda, dan mereka memakai topi,

they look completely different, and they wear a hat,

topi itu terbuat dari kumbang,

and it's built out of scarabs,

kumbang hijau zamrud kecil yang menakjubkan,

these fantastic emerald green little scarabs,

kadang ada 5,000 atau 6,000 kumbang di topi ini,

and sometimes there are 5,000 or 6,000 scarabs in this hat,

dan seumur hidup mereka mengumpulkan kumbang ini

and they spend the whole of their life collecting these scarabs

to build these hats.

untuk membuat topi itu.

So the Huli inspired me in that they belong.

Jadi suku Huli menginspirasi saya dalam hal penempatan diri.

Perhaps I have to work harder at finding a ritual which matters for me

Mungkin saya perlu berusaha lebih keras menemukan ritual yang penting bagi saya

and going back into my past to see where I actually fit.

dan melihat ke belakang melihat di mana saya cocok.

An extremely important part of this project

Bagian yang sangat penting dari proyek ini

was about how I photograph these extraordinary people.

adalah bagaimana saya memotret masyarakat yang luar biasa ini

And it's basically beauty. I think beauty matters.

Dan ini pada dasarnya keindahan. Saya pikir keindahan itu penting.

We spend the whole of our existence revolving around beauty:

Kita menghabiskan seumur hidup kita berputar di sekitar keindahan:

beautiful places, beautiful things, and ultimately, beautiful people.

tempat yang indah, hal yang indah, dan akhirnya, masyarakat yang indah.

It's very, very, very significant.

Ini sangat berarti.

I've spent all of my life analyzing what do I look like?

Saya menghabiskan hidup saya menganalisa seperti apakah saya?

Am I perceived as beautiful?

Apakah saya dianggap indah?

Does it matter if I'm a beautiful person or not,

Apakah penting jika saya orang yang indah atau tidak,

or is it purely based on my aesthetic?

atau apakah ini semata-mata estetika saya saja?

And then when I went off, I came to a very narrow conclusion.

Waktu saya pergi, saya mendapat kesimpulan yang sangat khusus.

Do I have to go around the world photographing, excuse me,

Apakah saya harus berkeliling dunia memotret, maaf,

women between the age of 25 and 30? Is that what beauty is going to be?

wanita antara 25-30 tahun? Apakah itu yang dimaksud kecantikan?

Is everything before and after that utterly irrelevant?

Apakah yang ada sebelum dan setelahnya sama sekali tak ada hubungannya?

And it was only until I went on a journey,

Sampai waktu saya melakukan perjalanan,

a journey that was so extreme,

perjalanan yang sangat ekstrim,

I still get shivers when I think about it.

saya masih merinding saat memikirkannya,

Saya pergi ke belahan dunia, dan saya tak tahu jika Anda

I went to a part of the world, and I don't know whether any of you

pernah mendengar Chukotka. Ada yang pernah dengar Chukotka?

have ever heard of Chukotka. Has anybody ever heard of Chukotka?

Chukotka probably is, technically, as far as one can go

Chokatka, mungkin secara teknis, adalah tempat terjauh yang bisa ditempuh

and still be on the living planet.

dan masih berada di planet ini.

13 jam penerbangan dari Moskow.

It's 13 hours' flight from Moscow.

First you've got to get to Moscow, and then 13 hours' flight nonstop from Moscow.

Pertama Anda harus ke Moskow, lalu 13 jam penerbangan nonstop dari Moskow.

And that's if you get there.

Dan itu jika Anda bisa sampai.

Anda lihat, ada yang meleset dari landasannya.

As you can see, some people sort of miss the runway.

Dan saat Anda mendarat, di Chukotka ada suku Chukchis.

And then when you land there, in Chukotka are the Chukchis.

Suku Chukchis adalah orang Inuit terakhir di Siberia,

Now, the Chukchis are the last indigenous Inuits of Siberia,

saya pernah mendengar tentangnya, saya hampir tak pernah melihat fotonya,

and they're people I'd heard about, I'd hardly seen any images of,

but I knew they were there,

tapi saya tahu mereka di sana,

and I'd been in touch with this guide,

dan saya bicara dengan pemandu ini,

and this guide said,

dan pemandu ini bilang

"There's this fantastic tribe. There's only about 40 of them.

"Ada suku yang fantastis. Mereka tinggal 40 orang.

Kau akan baik-baik saja. Kita akan menemukannya." Jadi pergilah kami.

You'll be okay. We'll find them." So off we went on this journey.

Setibanya kami, setelah sebulan perjalanan melintasi es,

When we arrived there, after a month of traveling across the ice,

dan kami mencapai mereka, tapi saya tak boleh memotret mereka.

and we'd got to them, but then I was not allowed to photograph them.

Mereka bilang, "Kau tak boleh memotret kami. Kau harus tunggu.

They said, "You cannot photograph us. You have to wait.

You have to wait until you get to know us. You have to wait until you understand us.

Kau tunggu hingga kau mengenal kami. Kau tunggu hingga kau mengerti kami.

Kau harus tunggu hingga kau lihat bagaimana kami saling berinteraksi."

You have to wait until you see how we interact with one another."

Dan baru setelahnya, berminggu-minggu kemudian, saya merasakan rasa hormat.

And only then, it was many, many weeks later, I saw a respect.

Mereka tidak menghakimi.

They had zero judgment.

They observed one another, from the youth, from the middle aged to the old.

Mereka saling mengamati, dari yang muda, yang tengah baya, hingga tua.

They need each other.

Mereka saling membutuhkan.

Anak-anak perlu mengunyah daging sepanjang hari

The children need to chew the meat all day

karena yang dewasa tidak punya gigi,

because the adults don't have any teeth,

tapi di saat yang sama, anak-anak menuntun orang tua ke toilet

but at the same time, the children take the old aged people out

karena mereka lemah,

to the toilet because they're infirm,

jadi ini adalah komunitas penuh hormat yang luar biasa.

so there's this fantastic community of respect.

And they adore and admire one another, and they truly taught me

dan mereka saling memuja dan mengagumi, dan mereka benar-benar mengajarkan saya

apa keindahan itu.

what beauty was.

(Tepuk Tangan)

(Applause)

Sekarang saya ingin meminta sedikit interaksi penonton.

Now I'm going to ask for a little bit of audience interaction.

Ini sangat penting untuk penutup ceramah saya.

This is extremely important for the end of my talk.

If you could look at somebody left to the right of you,

Jika Anda bisa melihat orang di kanan kiri Anda,

dan saya ingin Anda mengamati mereka,

and I want you to observe them,

dan saya ingin Anda memberi sebuah pujian. Ini sangat penting.

and I want you to give them a compliment. This is very important.

Nah, bisa hidung atau rambut atau bahkan aura mereka, tidak masalah,

Now, it may be their nose or their hair or even their aura, I don't mind,

but please look at each other, give them a compliment.

tapi tolong tatap satu sama lain, beri sebuah pujian.

You have to be quick, because I'm running out of time.

Anda harus cepat, karena saya kehabisan waktu.

And you have to remember it.

Dan anda harus mengingatnya.

Okay, thank you, thank you, thank you, you've given each other compliments.

Baiklah, terima kasih, Anda sudah saling memuji.

Hold that compliment very, very tightly. Hold it for later.

Genggam pujian itu dengan erat. Simpan untuk nanti.

And the last thing, it was extraordinarily profound,

Terakhir, ini sangat mendalam,

ini terjadi baru dua minggu lalu. Dua minggu lalu saya kembali ke suku Himba.

and it happened only two weeks ago. Two weeks ago I went back to the Himba.

Now, the Himba live in northern Namibia on the border of Angola,

Suku Himba tinggal di utara Namibia di perbatasan Angola,

and I'd been there a few times before,

saya sudah ke sana beberapa kali,

and I'd gone back to present this book I'd made,

dan saya kembali untuk memberi buku yang saya buat,

untuk menunjukkan foto pada mereka dan berdiskusi,

to show them the pictures, to get into a discussion with them,

to say, "This is how I saw you. This is how I love you.

untuk bilang, "Ini cara saya melihatmu. Cara saya menyayangimu.

This is how I respect you. What do you think? Am I right? Am I wrong?"

Ini cara saya menghormatimu. Apa pendapatmu? Benar atau salahkah saya?"

Jadi saya menginginkan perdebatan ini. Ini sangat emosional.

So I wanted this debate. It was very, very, very emotional,

di satu malam kami duduk di sekeliling api unggun,

and one night we were sitting around the campfire,

dan saya harus jujur, saya rasa saya minum terlalu banyak,

and I have to be honest, I think I'd had a little bit too much to drink,

saya duduk di bawah bintang, "Ini hebat,

and I was sort of sitting under the stars going, "This is great,

kau telah melihat foto-foto saya, kita saling menyayangi." (Tertawa)

you've seen my pictures, we love each other." (Laughter)

Dan saya sedikit lamban,

And I'm a little bit slow,

saya melihat sekeliling saya, dan berkata,

saya pikir, mungkin, pagarnya hilang.

and I looked around me, and I said,

I thought, maybe, the fence is missing.

Bukankah ada pagar terakhir kali saya ke sini?

Wasn't there a fence here last time I came?

Anda tahu, pagar besar pengaman di sekeliling desa,

You know, this big protective fence around the village,

dan mereka melihat saya, "Ya, kepala suku wafat."

and they sort of looked at me and go, "Yeah, chief die."

Dan saya pikir, baiklah, kepala suku wafat, benar,

And I thought, okay, chief dying, right, you know,

saya melihat ke bintang lagi, melihat ke api unggun.

look up at the stars again, look at the campfire.

Kepala suku wafat. Lalu apa hubungannya dengan pagar?

Chief die. What on Earth does chief die have to do with the fence?

"Kepala suku wafat.

"Chief die.

Pertama kita menghancurkan, benar? Lalu kita bercermin diri.

First we destroy, yeah? Then we reflect.

Then we rebuild. Then we respect."

Lalu kita membangun kembali. Lalu kita menghormati."

And I burst out in tears, because my father had only just died

Dan saya langsung menangis, karena ayah saya baru saja meninggal

prior to this journey,

sebelum perjalanan itu,

dan saya tak pernah menganggap beliau,

and I didn't ever acknowledge him,

I didn't ever appreciate him for the fact that I'm probably standing here today

Saya tak pernah menghargai beliau pada kenyataannya

bahwa saya mungkin berdiri di sini hari ini karena beliau.

because of him.

These people taught me that we are only who we are because of our parents

masyarakat ini mengajarkan saya bahwa kita bisa seperti ini karena orang tua

and our grandparents and our forefathers

dan kakek nenek dan pendahulu kita

jauh sebelum itu,

going on and on and on before that,

dan saya, tak peduli seberapa romantis atau idealis saya dalam perjalanan ini,

and I, no matter how romantic or how idealistic I am on this journey,

I did not know that until two weeks ago.

saya tidak tahu tentang itu sampai dua minggu lalu.

I did not know that until two weeks ago.

Saya tidak tahu tentang itu sampai dua minggu lalu.

So what's this all about?

Jadi tentang apakah semua ini?

Well, there's an image I'd like to show you,

Ada foto yang ingin saya tunjukkan,

quite a special image, and it wasn't essentially the image I wanted to choose.

foto yang cukup spesial, dan ini bukan foto yang sebenarnya ingin saya pilih.

I was sitting there the other day, and I have to finish on a strong image.

Saya duduk di sana suatu hari, dan harus menyelesaikan foto yang kuat.

Dan ada yang bilang, "Kau harus menunjukkan foto suku Nanev."

And somebody said, "You have to show them the picture of the Nenets. The Nenets."

Saya pikir, tapi bukan kesukaan saya.

I was like, yeah, but that's not my favorite picture.

Dia bilang, "Tidak Tidak. Itu foto yang menakjubkan.

She went, "No no no no no no no. It's an amazing picture.

Kau ada di matanya."

Saya bilang, "Apa maksudmu aku di matanya? Ini foto suku Nanev."

You're in his eyes."

I said, "What do you mean I'm in his eyes? It's a picture of the Nenets."

Dia bilang, "Tidak, perhatikan baik-baik, kau ada di matanya."

She said, "No, look, look closely, you're in his eyes."

dan saat Anda lihat baik-baik foto ini, ada pantulan saya di mata lelaki ini,

And when you look closely at this picture, there is a reflection of me in his eyes,

jadi saya pikir mungkin dia memiliki jiwa saya, dan saya berada dalam jiwanya,

so I think perhaps he has my soul, and I'm in his soul,

and whilst these pictures look at you, I ask you to look at them.

dan saat foto ini melihat Anda, saya minta Anda melihat mereka.

You may not be reflected in his eyes,

Anda mungkin tidak terpantul di matanya,

but there is something extraordinarily important about these people.

tapi ada sesuatu yang luar biasa penting tentang masyarakat ini.

I don't ultimately have the answers, as I've just shared with you,

Akhirnya, saya tidak memiliki jawabannya, dan saya hanya berbagi dengan Anda,

but you must do. There must be something there.

tapi Anda harus punya jawabannya. Pasti ada sesuatu di sana.

So if you can briefly reflect on what I was discussing

Jadi jika Anda secara singkat dapat merefleksikan apa yang saya bincangkan

about beauty and about belonging and about our ancestors and our roots,

tentang keindahan dan tentang penempatan dan tentang nenek moyang dan akar kita,

and I need you all to stand for me, please.

dan saya perlu Anda semua berdiri untuk saya, tolong.

(Tertawa)

(Laughter)

Now you have no excuse. It's almost lunchtime,

Tak ada alasan. Sebentar lagi makan siang,

and this is not a standing ovation, so don't worry,

dan ini bukan penghormatan, jadi jangan khawatir,

I'm not fishing for compliments.

saya tidak memancing pujian.

But you were given a compliment a few minutes ago.

Tapi Anda diberi pujian beberapa menit yang lalu.

Now I want you to stand tall.

Sekarang saya ingin Anda berdiri tegak.

I want you to breathe in. This is what I say.

Saya mau Anda menarik napas.

I'm not going to get on my knees for two weeks.

Saya takkan berlutut selama dua minggu.

Saya tak meminta Anda membawa kambing,

I'm not going to ask you to carry a goat,

dan saya tahu Anda tak punya unta.

and I know you don't have any camels.

Fotografi sangatlah kuat.

Photography's extraordinarily powerful.

Ini adalah bahasa yang kita semua pahami.

It's this language which we now all understand.

We truly do all understand it,

Kita semua sungguh memahaminya,

and we have this global digital fireplace, don't we,

dan kita punya api unggun dunia digital, kan?

but I want to share you with the world,

Tapi saya ingin memperlihatkan Anda pada dunia,

because you are also a tribe.

karena Anda juga sebuah suku.

You are the TED tribe, yeah? But you have to remember that compliment.

Anda suku TED, ya? Tapi Anda harus mengingat pujian itu.

You have to stand tall, breathe in through your nose,

Anda harus berdiri tegak, menarik napas melalui hidung,

and I'm going to photograph you. Okay?

dan saya akan memotret Anda. Oke?

I need to do a panoramic shot, so it's going to take a minute,

Saya akan memotret panoramik, jadi ini butuh waktu,

Anda harus konsentrasi, Oke?

so you have to concentrate, okay?

Tarik napas, berdiri tegak, jangan tertawa shh, bernapaslah lewat hidung.

Breathe in, stand tall, no laughing. Shh, breathe through your nose.

Saya akan memotret.

I'm going to photograph.
