Feel the dream
Various dreams come to us: individual and global, close and far… They exist inside and outside of each of us, in real and potential things. Intruding in dream dimension we can expect anything.
You just have to think about the word “dream” and a myriad of meanings and associations take off like butterflies on a warm spring day. The use of this meaning by Alnis Stakle highlight ironical platform of his creativity. His art is not a dream, but it is the dimension of dreaming. At least one can classify his pictures this way.
Stakle sees his surroundings, just kike his personality, as some kind of a receptacle, a room for a dream. An object of photography can be chosen unexpected: far blue sky, a still life of his breakfast, ironing boards, self-portrait… We feel the nearness of the photographer watching his pictures.
Talking about his work, Stakle admits that he usually doesn’t choose a subject, but a subject chooses him. And so tangible objects and landscapes appear on a photograph, we as well as the author were put in under circumstances; these stories or subjects are only an agenda for further view.
Stakle gives us something you can call “physical encyclopedia”, catalogue of his own physical existence. He builds photo-library, using its’ index one can easily be guided by. The photograph successively fixes the elements, things, places and moments, inclined to go out their own frames. The picture, where a pile of photographs, moment shots, negatives is depicted, adds to piety which author feels for his profession but at the same time these are the pictures, he creates, collects, edits, developing new topic.
