The Struggle to Right Oneself: Photos by Kerry Skarbakka
Kerry Skarbakka is an American visual artist working in photography and video.These incredible falling pictures are part of his series entitled “The Struggle to Right Oneself”. The artist explains:
Philosopher Martin Heidegger described human existence as a process of perpetual falling, and it is the responsibility of each individual to catch ourselves from our own uncertainty. This unsettling prognosis of life informs my present body of work.
I love these images as straight away these images make you think. They make you question whether or not it is real, they make you ask how the photographer did it. I believe a photo that makes the audience think of question is a brilliant image as it gets the mind working. I want to try and use this idea of falling to question the audience and alert their minds. Using simple props like a chair maybe a person jumping would create a similar idea. This being said I need to make sure I don't make the images look cheesy and unprofessional.
