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

Prevodilac: Mile Živković Lektor: Milenka Okuka

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

Odavno fotografišem,

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

i ovakva fotografija, po mom mišljenju

should be straightforward.

treba da bude nedvosmislena.

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

Ovde sam na jugu Etiopije. Sa narodom Dasanek.

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

Tu je velika porodica, prelepo drvo

and I make these pictures with this very large,

a ja fotografišem tim velikim,

extremely cumbersome, very awkward technical plate film camera.

vrlo glomaznim i nezgodnim foto aparatom sa plan pločom.

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

Da li neko zna za 4x5 i 10x8 plan film,

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

i podešavate ga, stavljate na tronožac.

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

Tu je porodica, veći deo dana sam proveo razgovarajući sa njima.

They sort of understand what I'm on about.

Oni uglavnom razumeju šta želim.

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

Misle da sam pomalo lud, ali to je već druga priča.

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

Meni su najvažnije lepota i estetika,

and that's based on the light.

a to zavisi od svetla.

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

Tako je podešavanje svetla sa moje leve strane,

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

komunikacija sa Dasanekima je uravnotežena,

tom 30-očlanom porodicom, svih uzrasta.

the family of 30, all ages.

There's babies and there's grandparents,

Ima beba i baka i deda,

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

Postavljam ih na drvo i čekam odgovarajuće svetlo,

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

i sve ide dobro, i imam još jednu rolnu filma,

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

i mislim, sve je dobro, sve je pod kontrolom, sve je pod kontrolom.

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

Nameštam ga i nameštam, i svetlo samo što ne nestane,

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

želim da bude zlatno, želim da bude prelepo.

Želim da visi nad horizontom tako da osvetljava ove ljude,

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

u svoj mogućoj slavi u kojoj mogu biti predstavljeni.

in all the potential glory that they could be presented.

I samo što nije nestalo, samo što nije nestalo,

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

i stavljam rolnu u foto aparat,

and I put my sheet in the camera,

it's all focused,

sve je izoštreno,

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

i iznenada čujem snažan udarac,

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

gledam oko sebe, i u gornjem delu drveta,

one of the girls slaps the girl next to her,

jedna devojčica udara drugu,

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

i ova je vuče za kosu, i nastaje opšti haos,

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

a ja stojim tamo i: "Ali svetlo, svetlo.

Čekajte, potrebno mi je svetlo. Stojte mirno! Stojte mirno!"

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

And they start screaming,

I počinju da vrište,

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

i tada se jedan od muškaraca okreće i počinje da vrišti, viče,

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

i čitavo drvo se obrušava, ne drvo, ali ljudi oko drveta.

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

Svi trče unaokolo vičući, i trče nazad u selo

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

kao u oblaku dima, a ja ostajem stojeći iza tripoda.

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

Imam rolnu, svetlo je zašlo, i ne mogu da napravim tu fotografiju.

Where have they all gone? I had no idea.

Kuda su svi otišli? Nisam znao.

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

Bilo mi je potrebno nedelju dana da napravim ovu fotografiju,

and I'll tell you why. (Applause)

a reći ću vam zašto. (Aplauz)

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

Jako je, jako jednostavno - nedelju dana sam išao po selu,

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

i prilazio svakome govoreći: "Zdravo, možemo li da se nađemo kod drveta?"

What's your story? Who are you?"

Koja je tvoja priča? Ko si?"

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

I ispostavilo se da je to sve bilo zbog momka, zaboga.

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

Mislim, moja deca su tinejdžeri, trebalo je da mi bude jasno.

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

Sve je bilo zbog momka. Devojka na vrhu je poljubila pogrešnog momka,

and they'd started having a fight.

i počele su da se tuku.

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

I ja sam iz toga izvukao vrlo, vrlo lepu pouku:

If I was going to photograph these people

ukoliko sam hteo da fotografišem te ljude

in the dignified, respectful way that I had intended,

dostojanstveno i sa poštovanjem, kako sam nameravao,

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

i da ih stavim na pijedastal, morao sam da ih razumem.

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

Nije bilo dovoljno pojaviti se, nije bilo dovoljno rukovati se.

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

Nije bilo dovoljno reći: "Ja sam Džimi, fotograf."

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

Trebalo je da upoznam svakog od njih,

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

sve do toga ko je čiji momak i ko sme koga da poljubi.

So in the end, a week later,

I tako na kraju, nedelju dana kasnije,

and I was absolutely exhausted,

bio sam potpuno premoren,

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

na kolenima sam ih molio: "Molim vas vratite se do drveta.

It's a picture I need to make."

Moram da napravim fotografiju."

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

Svi su se vratili, sve sam ih postavio oko drveta.

I made sure the girls were in the right position,

Postarao sam se da su devojke na odgovarajućem mestu,

and the ones that slapped, one was over there.

a od onih koje su se potukle, jedna je bila tamo.

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

Gledale su se. Ukoliko je pogledate kasnije

they're staring at each other very angrily,

videćete da gledaju jedna u drugu besno,

and I've got the tree and everything,

a ja sam imao drvo i sve,

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

i tada, poslednjeg minuta, kažem: "Koza, koza!

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

oku je potrebno da gleda u nešto. Treba mi bela koza u sredini."

Tako sam skupio sve koze koje su se tu našle. Ubacio sam ih.

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

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

Ali čak ni tada nisam dobro uradio, ukoliko možete da vidite na levoj strani,

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

drugi dečko je odjurio jer nisam izabrao njegovu kozu.

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

Nauk je da moram da naučim da govorim kozji jezik kao i dasanekanski.

But anyway, the effort that goes into that picture

Ali svejedno, napor uložen u stvaranje te slike

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

kao i priča koju sam vam upravo preneo,

as you can imagine,

i, kao što možete zamisliti,

there are hundreds of other bizarre, eccentric stories

postoje stotine drugih čudnih, ekscentričnih priča

of hundreds of other people around the world.

o stotinama drugih ljudi širom sveta.

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

A ova je od pre četiri godine, kada sam krenuo na putovanje,

to be honest, a very indulgent journey.

iskreno, da bih sebi udovoljio.

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

Vrlo sam romantičan, ja sam idealista, možda i pomalo naivan.

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

Ali zaista verujem da na ovoj planeti postoje prelepi ljudi.

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

To je jako, jako jednostavno. Nije neka nauka.

I wanted to put these people on a pedestal.

Želeo sam da te ljude postavim na pijedastal.

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

Želeo sam da ih stavim na pijedastal na način na koji nikad ranije nisu viđeni.

So, I chose about 35 different groups,

Tako sam izabrao oko 35 različitih grupa,

tribes, indigenous cultures.

plemena, urođeničkih kultura.

They were chosen purely because of their aesthetic,

Izabrani su samo zbog svoje estetike,

and I'll talk more about that later.

a o tome ću više govoriti nešto kasnije.

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

Ja nisam antropolog, nemam tehničko obrazovanje na ovu temu,

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

ali posedujem jako, jako, jako snažnu strast,

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

i verujem da sam morao da izaberem najlepše ljude na svetu

in the most beautiful environment that they lived in,

u najlepšem okruženju u kojem su živeli,

and put the two together and present them to you.

da to dvoje spojim i prikažem vam.

About a year ago,

Pre oko godinu dana

I published the first pictures,

sam objavio prve fotografije,

and something extraordinarily exciting happened.

i dogodilo se nešto strahovito uzbudljivo.

The whole world came running,

Čitav svet se tu pojavio,

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

i to je bilo čudno iskustvo, jer su svi, iz svih krajeva pitali:

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

"Ko su oni? Odakle su? Koliko ih ima?

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

Kako si ih pronašao? Da li su stvarni? Nemestio si to.

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

Kaži mi. Kaži mi. Kaži mi. Kaži mi." Milioni pitanja na koje,

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

da budem iskren, nemam odgovore.

I really didn't have the answers,

Zaista nisam imao odgovore,

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

i mogao sam da razumem, dobro, lepi su, to mi je bila namera,

but the questions that I was being fired at,

ali na pitanja kojima sam bio izložen,

I could not answer them.

nisam mogao da dam odgovor.

Until, it was quite amusing, about a year ago

Sve dok, to je bilo jako zabavno, pre oko godinu dana

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

neko nije rekao: "Pozvan si da održiš TED govor".

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

Rekao sam: "Ted? Ted? Ko je Ted? nisam ga do sada sreo."

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

Rekao je: "Ne, TED govor." a ja: "Ali ko je Ted?"

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

Da li treba da sa njim razgovaram ili ćemo biti zajedno na sceni?"

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

i "Ne, ne, TED grupa. Sigurno si za njih čuo."

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

A ja sam odgovorio. "Poslednjih pet godina sam proveo u šatoru i jurti".

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

Kako da znam ko je Ted? Upoznaj me sa njim."

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

No, da skratim priču, rekao mi je: "Treba da pripremimo TED govor".

Researched. Oh, exciting. That's great!

Istražio sam. O, kako uzbudljivo. To je sjajno!

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

I na kraju ćeš ići na TEDGlobal.

Even more exciting.

Još uzbudljivije.

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

Ali ono što se od tebe traži je da ljudima preneseš znanja,

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

znanja koja si stekao tokom svojih putovanja širom sveta

with these tribes.

sa ovim plemenima.

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

Mislio sam, znanja, pa, šta sam naučio? Dobro pitanje.

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

Tri. Potrebne su ti tri lekcije, i treba da budu jako dubokoumne.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

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

Mislio sam, tri lekcije, pa, razmisliću.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

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

I tako sam dugo i naporno razmišljao, i stajao ovde pre dva dana,

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

i imao sam probu, i moje kartice

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

i okidač u ruci, i moje slike su bile na ekranu,

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

i imao sam svoje tri lekcije, i počeo sam da ih predstavljam,

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

i imao sam vrlo čudno iskustvo bivanja van tela.

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

Kao da sam posmatrao sebe kako tamo stojim i "O, Džimi,

this is complete loads of codswallop.

pa to je gomila gluposti.

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

Svi ovi ljudi koji tu sede, su čuli više ovih govora,

they've heard more lessons in their life.

čuli su više lekcija tokom života.

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

Ko si ti da im kažeš šta si naučio?

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

Ko si ti pa da ih vodiš i ko si ti da im govoriš

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

šta je ispravno, a šta nije, šta ti ljudi imaju da kažu".

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

I doživeo sam, u privatnosti

a little bit of a meltdown.

malu krizu.

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

Vratio sam se, pomalo kao dečak koji je otišao od drveta sa svojom kozom,

very disgruntled, going, that didn't work,

jako nezadovoljan, misleći, to nije uspelo,

It wasn't what I wanted to communicate.

to nije ono što sam želeo da saopštim.

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

I dugo sam i naporno o tome razmišljao, i pomislio, pa jedina stvar

koju mogu da prenesem je jako, jako jednostavna.

I can communicate is very, very basic.

You have to turn it all the way around.

Treba da je preokreneš.

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

Ovde postoji samo jedna osoba koju poznajem, i to sam ja.

I'm still getting to know myself,

Još uvek se upoznajem,

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

i to traje čitav život, i ja verovatno neću imati odgovore na sva pitanja,

but I did learn some extraordinary things on this journey.

ali jesam naučio neke izuzetne stvari tokom tog putovanja.

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

Tako da ću sa vama da podelim moje lekcije.

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

To je, kao što sam objasnio na početku, jako lično s dosta uživanja,

how and why I made these pictures,

kako i zašto sam napravio te slike, i ostavljam

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

vama kao publici da protumačite šta su mi te lekcije značile

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

i šta bi možda mogle značiti vama.

I traveled enormously as a child.

Kao dete sam strahovito mnogo putovao.

I was very nomadic. It was actually very exciting.

Bio sam kao nomad. To je bilo vrlo uzbudljivo.

All around the world,

Svuda po svetu,

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

i imao sam osećaj da sam lansiran velikom brzinom

to become somebody, become that individual, Jimmy.

da postanem neko, taj pojedinac, Džimi,

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

idi kroz planetu, i tako sam trčao i trčao,

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

moja žena se ponekad šali: "Džimi, ti si pomalo kao Forest Gamp,"

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

ali: "Ne, to je sve sa razlogom, veruj mi."

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

I tako sam nastavio da trčim i trčim i tako sam i stigao negde

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

i tako sam tamo stajao i gledao oko sebe i pomislio:

where do I belong? Where do I fit?

gde pripadam? Gde se uklapam?

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

Šta sam ja? Odakle dolazim? Nisam imao pojma.

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

Nadam se da u publici nema previše psihologa.

Perhaps part of this journey

Možda je deo ovog putovanja

is about me trying to find out where I belonged.

bio posvećen mom traganju za mestom kojem pripadam.

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

I dok sam se kretao, i ne brinite, kada sam stigao do tih plemena,

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

nisam se obojio u žuto i trčao unaokolo sa kopljem, odeven u pregaču.

But what I did find were people that belonged themselves,

Ali ono što sam pronašao bili su ljudi koji su pripadali sebi,

and they inspired me, some extraordinary people,

i oni su me inspirisali, ti izuzetni ljudi,

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

i želeo bih da vam predstavim neke od mojih heroja.

They're the Huli.

Oni su Huli.

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

Huli su jedni od najizvanrednije lepih ljudi

on the planet.

na svetu.

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

Oni su ponosni. Žive na visoravnima Papua Nove Gvineje.

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

Nije ih puno ostalo, i zovu ih Huli vlasuljari.

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

A ovakve slike, to je ono što je meni značajno.

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

Provedete nedelje i mesece razgovarajući sa njima, dolazeći do njih,

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

i želim da ih postavim na pijedestal, i kažem: "Vi imate nešto

that many people have not seen.

što puno ljudi nije videlo.

You sit in this stunning nature."

VI se nalazite u očaravajućoj prirodi."

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

I to zaista izgleda ovako, i oni zaista ovako izgledaju.

This is the real thing.

To je stvarno.

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

A znate li zašto su ponosni? Znate li zašto ovako izgledaju,

and why I broke my back literally

i zašto sam ja doslovno slomio kičmu

to photograph them and present them to you?

da bih ih fotografisao i vama ih prikazao?

It's because they have these extraordinary rituals.

Zato što poseduju izuzetne rituale.

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

Huli imaju ritual: kada su tinejdžeri,

becoming a man, they have to shave their heads,

kada postaju muškarci, moraju da obriju glave,

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

i do kraja života, svakoga dana briju glave,

and what they do with that hair,

a šta rade sa tom kosom,

they make it into a creation,

od nje prave kreacije,

a creation that's a very personal creation.

kreacije koje su vrlo lične.

To su njihove kreacije. To je njihova Huli kreacija.

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

So they're called the Huli wigmen.

Zovu ih Huli vlasuljari.

That's a wig on his head.

To na njihovim glavama su perike.

It's all made out of his human hair.

Potpuno su napravljene od ljudske kose.

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

A onda periku ukrašavaju perjem rajskih ptica,

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

i ne brinite, tamo ima puno ptica.

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

Ima malo ljudi koji tu žive, tako da nema razloga da se brinemo,

and they spend the rest of their life recreating these hats

i čitavog života kreiraju te šešire

and getting further and further,

sve više i više,

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

i to je izuzetno, a postoji i druga grupa,

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

oni se zovu Kalami, i žive u sledećoj dolini,

but they speak a completely different language,

ali govore potpuno drugačiji jezik.

they look completely different, and they wear a hat,

izgledaju potpuno drugačije, i oni nose šešir,

and it's built out of scarabs,

napravljen od buba,

these fantastic emerald green little scarabs,

tih fantastičnih smaragdno zelenih malih buba,

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

i ponekad ima 5.000 ili 6.000 buba u jednom šeširu,

and they spend the whole of their life collecting these scarabs

i oni čitavog života skupljaju te bube

to build these hats.

kako bi pravili takve šešire.

So the Huli inspired me in that they belong.

Huli su me inspirisali svojim pripadanjem.

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

Možda treba da napornije radim na pronalaženju rituala koji je meni značajan

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

i odlaženju u sopstvenu prošlost kako bih video gde se ja to zapravo uklapam.

An extremely important part of this project

Izuzetno značajan deo ovog projekta

was about how I photograph these extraordinary people.

je bio način fotografisanja ovih izuzetnih ljudi.

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

I to je u suštini lepota. Mislim da je lepota važna.

We spend the whole of our existence revolving around beauty:

Provodimo čitav život vrteći se oko lepote:

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

lepa mesta, lepe stvari i konačno, lepi ljudi.

It's very, very, very significant.

To je jako, jako, jako značajno.

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

Proveo sam čitav život analizirajući sopstveni izgled.

Am I perceived as beautiful?

Da li me drugi vide lepim?

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

Da li je ili ne važna lepota moje ličnosti,

or is it purely based on my aesthetic?

ili je sve to bazirano na mojoj spoljašnjosti?

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

A kada sam otišao, došao sam do vrlo sažetog zaključka.

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

Da li je potrebno da idem oko sveta fotografišući, izvinite,

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

žene između 25 i 30 godina? Da li će to biti lepota?

Is everything before and after that utterly irrelevant?

Da li je sve pre i posle toga potpuno nevažno?

And it was only until I went on a journey,

I tek kada sam krenuo na putovanje,

a journey that was so extreme,

tako ekstremno putovanje,

I still get shivers when I think about it.

i dalje se stresem kada na to pomislim.

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

Išao sam u deo sveta, ne znam da li je iko od vas

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

čuo za Čukotku. Da li je iko čuo za Čukotku?

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

Čukotka je najverovatnije, tehnički najdalje gde čovek može da ode

and still be on the living planet.

a da se i dalje nalazi među živim bićima.

It's 13 hours' flight from Moscow.

Udaljen je 13 sati leta od Moskve.

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

Prvo treba da stignete u Moskvu, a onda 13 sati neprekidnog leta od Moskve.

And that's if you get there.

I to ako stignete.

Kao što možete da vidite, neki ljudi promaše pistu za poletanje.

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

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

A kada sletetite, u Čikotki žive Čukčiji.

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

Čučkiji su poslednji urođenici Inuiti u Sibiru,

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

o tim ljudima sam čuo, jedva da sam video kako izgledaju,

but I knew they were there,

ali sam znao da su tamo,

and I'd been in touch with this guide,

bio sam u kontaktu sa vodičem,

and this guide said,

koji mi je rekao:

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

"Postoji jedno fantastično pleme. Ima ih samo 40-ak.

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

Sve će biti ok. Pronaćićemo ih." I tako smo se otisnuli na to putovanje.

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

Kada smo stigli, nakon mesec dana putovanja po ledu,

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

i došli do njih, nije mi bilo dozvoljeno da ih fotografišem.

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

Rekli su: "Ne možeš da nas fotografišeš. Moraš da čekaš.

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

Moraš da čekaš dok nas ne upoznaš. Moraš da čekaš dok nas ne razumeš.

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

Moraš da čekaš dok ne vidiš kako se međusobno ophodimo."

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

I tek tada, mnogo, mnogo nedelja kasnije, video sam poštovanje.

They had zero judgment.

Među njima nije bilo osuđivanja.

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

Posmatrali su se međusobno, od mladosti, preko srednjih godina do starosti.

They need each other.

Bili su potrebni jedni drugima.

The children need to chew the meat all day

Deca moraju da celog dana žvaću meso

because the adults don't have any teeth,

jer odrasli nemaju zube,

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

ali istovremeno, deca stare ljude izvode napolje

to the toilet because they're infirm,

u toalet jer su slabi,

so there's this fantastic community of respect.

tako da je to fantastična zajednica puna poštovanja.

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

Oni obožavaju i dive se jedni drugima, i zaista su me naučili

what beauty was.

šta je to lepota.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

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

Sada ću da zatražim malo interakcije među publikom.

This is extremely important for the end of my talk.

To je jako značajno za kraj mog govora.

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

Ukoliko možete da pogledate u nekoga do vas,

and I want you to observe them,

želim da ga posmatrate,

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

i da mu date kompliment. Ovo je jako važno.

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

To može biti vezano za njihov nos, kosu ili auru, nije važno,

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

ali molim vas da gledate jedni u druge, i da date kompliment.

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

Morate to brzo da uradite, jer mi ponestaje vremena.

And you have to remember it.

I morate to da zapamtite.

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

U redu, hvala, hvala, hvala, dali ste jedni drugima komplimente.

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

Čvrsto čuvajte taj kompliment. Čuvajte ga za kasnije.

And the last thing, it was extraordinarily profound,

I poslednja stvar, to je bilo izuzetno duboko,

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

i dogodilo se pre samo dve nedelje. Pre dve nedelje sam ponovo posetio Himbe.

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

Himbe žive u severnoj Namibiji, na granici sa Angolom,

and I'd been there a few times before,

i tamo sam bio već nekoliko puta,

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

a otišao sam da im prikažem svoju knjigu,

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

da im pokažem slike, da sa njima diskutujem,

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

da kažem: "Ovako sam vas video. Ovako vas volim.

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

Ovako vas poštujem. Šta mislite? Da li sam u pravu? Da li grešim?"

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

Želeo sam taj razgovor. Bilo je jako, jako, jako emotivno,

and one night we were sitting around the campfire,

i jedne noći smo sedeli oko logorske vatre,

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

i da budem iskren, mislim da sam previše popio,

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

i sedeo sam pod zvezdanim nebom i mislio: "Ovo je sjajno,

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

videli ste moje slike, volimo se." (Smeh)

And I'm a little bit slow,

I malo sam usporen,

and I looked around me, and I said,

i pogledam oko sebe i kažem,

I thought, maybe, the fence is missing.

pomislim, možda nedostaje ograda.

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

Zar ovde nije bila ograda kada sam ih posetio poslednji put?

You know, this big protective fence around the village,

Znate, ona velika, zaštitna ograda oko sela,

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

i oni me pogledaju i kažu: "Da, poglavica je umro."

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

I ja pomislim, dobro, poglavica je umro,

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

pogledam ponovo zvezde, logorsku vatru.

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

Poglavica je umro. Kakve veze ima poglavičina smrt sa ogradom?

"Chief die.

"Poglavica umre.

First we destroy, yeah? Then we reflect.

Prvo uništimo, je l'? Posle razmišljamo.

Then we rebuild. Then we respect."

Onda ponovo gradimo. Onda poštujemo."

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

I ja se rasplačem, jer mi je otac nedavno umro

prior to this journey,

pre tog putovanja,

and I didn't ever acknowledge him,

i nikada mu nisam odao priznanje,

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

nikada nisam cenio što sam najverovatnije ovde danas

because of him.

zahvaljujući njemu.

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

Ti ljudi su me naučili da smo to što jesmo samo zahvaljujući svojim roditeljima

and our grandparents and our forefathers

i našim pradedama i precima

going on and on and on before that,

idući tako sve dalje i dalje,

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

a ja, uprkos svojoj romantičnosti, ili idealizovanju tokom tog putovanja,

I did not know that until two weeks ago.

to nisam znao do pre dve nedelje.

I did not know that until two weeks ago.

Nisam to znao do pre dve nedelje.

So what's this all about?

I o čemu se ovde radi?

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

Postoji jedna slika koju želim da vam pokažem,

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

vrlo posebna slika, i to nije bila slika koju sam želeo da izaberem.

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

Sedeo sam tu pre neki dan, i moram da završim snažnom slikom.

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

A neko je reko: "Moraš da pokažeš sliku Neneta. Neneta".

A ja sam rekao, da, ali to nije moja omiljena slika.

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

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

Ona je rekla: "Ne, ne, ne, ne, ne, ne. To je neverovatna slika.

You're in his eyes."

Ti si u njegovim očima."

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

A ja rekoh: "Kako misliš, ja sam u njegovim očima? To je slika Neneta."

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

Ona je rekla: "Ne, pogledaj pažljivo, ti si u njegovim očima."

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

I kada pažljivo pogledate, moj odraz je u njegovim očima,

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

pa možda on ima moju dušu, a ja sam u njegovoj duši,

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

i dok vas ove fotografije gledaju, molim vas da ih vi pogledate.

You may not be reflected in his eyes,

Možda nećete biti u njegovim očima,

but there is something extraordinarily important about these people.

ali ovi ljudi imaju nešto neobično važno.

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

Ja nemam konačne odgovore, kao što sam vam već rekao,

but you must do. There must be something there.

ali vi morate da ih imate. Mora da tu ima nečega.

So if you can briefly reflect on what I was discussing

I ako možete da nakratko razmislite o onome o čemu sam govorio

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

o lepoti i pripadanju i našim precima i korenima,

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

i potrebno mi je da svi ustanete, molim vas.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

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

Nemate izgovor. Skoro je vreme za ručak,

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

i ovo nisu ovacije, ne brinite,

I'm not fishing for compliments.

ne iznuđujem komplimente.

But you were given a compliment a few minutes ago.

Ali vi ste primili kompliment pre nekoliko minuta.

Now I want you to stand tall.

Sad hoću da stojite uspravno.

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

Hoću da udahnete. Ja ovo kažem.

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

Neću pasti na kolena naredne dve nedelje.

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

Neču tražiti da nosite kozu,

and I know you don't have any camels.

i znam da nemate kamile.

Photography's extraordinarily powerful.

Fotografija je izuzetno moćna.

It's this language which we now all understand.

To je jezik koji sada svi razumemo.

We truly do all understand it,

Mi ga svi zaista razumemo,

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

i svi imamo to globalno digitalno ognjište, zar ne?

but I want to share you with the world,

Ali ja želim da vas podelim sa svetom,

because you are also a tribe.

jer i vi ste pleme.

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

Vi ste TED pleme, zar ne? Ali morate da zapamtite onaj kompliment.

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

Morate da stojite uspravno, udahnete kroz nos,

and I'm going to photograph you. Okay?

a ja ću vas fotografisati. Važi?

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

Moram da napravim panoramski snimak, to će da potraje minut,

so you have to concentrate, okay?

tako da morate da se koncentrišete, u redu?

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

Udahnite, uspravite se, bez smeha. Šššš, udahnite kroz nos.

I'm going to photograph.

Ja ću da fotografišem.

Thank you.

Hvala.
