"It Is Beautiful To Take A Picture"

Alex Majoli was born in Ravenna, Italy, in 1971. He attended the Art Institute in Ravenna. His work focuses on the human condition and the theater within our daily lives.

Majoli’s career began to develop after he photographed the closing of the notorious insane asylum on the island of Leros in Greece, which resulted in his first monograph, Leros. This arose mainly because of his interest in the theories of Franco Basaglia, a pioneer of the modern concept of mental health, famous for having abolished psychiatric hospitals in Italy.

Majoli’s early interest in psychiatric care led him to go to Brazil, which marked the beginning of his twenty-year-long, ongoing project, “Tudo Bom,” a compelling body of work about the multi-layered country, and the extremes found in the darker side of its society.

Over many years, Majoli has worked as a photojournalist. The experience of photographing people in all kinds of circumstances has led him to explore the idea that everyone is an actor in their own life. This is why he started the ongoing project, “Scene.” He understands that his role as a photographer can make people perform in their own natural setting, so he tries to exaggerate this by using artificial light to dramatize an otherwise daily routine. His pictures become scenes in which people, through their performances, express themselves in what becomes a film set or a theater stage. The thin line between fact and fiction, documentary and art, human behavior and acting provides the kind of friction that keeps him returning to the places where the human condition is called into question. Even in the most tragic of miseries, he finds the theater, the pride, and above all, the magnificence of the human spirit.

Majoli’s work is in various public collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, International Center of Photography, MarguliesCollection, Snite Museum of Art, MUFOCO and Mucem. Among many honors, he has received the W. Eugene Smith Memorial Fund Fellowship for Humanistic Photography, Guggenheim Fellowship, ICP Infinity Award, Getty Images Grant, NPPA Photographer of the Year and OPC Feature Photography Award. His books include One Vote (2004), Libera Me (2010), Congo (2015), Andante (2018), Scene (2019) and Opera Aperta (2021).

Alex Majoli lives in New York. He joined Magnum Photos in 1996, becoming a full member in 2001.

Judul: "Sungguh indah untuk mengambil gambar."

Alex Majoli lahir di Ravenna, Italia, pada tahun 1971. Ia menempuh pendidikan di Institut Seni di Ravenna. Karya-karyanya berfokus pada kondisi manusia dan teater dalam kehidupan sehari-hari kita.

Karier Majoli mulai berkembang setelah ia memotret penutupan rumah sakit jiwa terkenal di pulau Leros, Yunani, yang menghasilkan monografi pertamanya, Leros. Hal ini muncul terutama karena ketertarikannya pada teori-teori Franco Basaglia, seorang pelopor konsep modern kesehatan mental yang terkenal karena menghapus rumah sakit jiwa di Italia.

Ketertarikan awal Majoli terhadap perawatan psikiatris membawanya ke Brasil, yang menandai awal proyeknya yang berlangsung selama dua puluh tahun, Tudo Bom, sebuah karya yang menarik tentang negara yang berlapis-lapis dan sisi gelap dari masyarakatnya.

Selama bertahun-tahun, Majoli telah bekerja sebagai jurnalis foto. Pengalamannya memotret orang dalam berbagai keadaan telah membawanya untuk mengeksplorasi gagasan bahwa setiap orang adalah aktor dalam kehidupannya sendiri. Inilah sebabnya ia memulai proyek berkelanjutan, Scene. Ia memahami bahwa perannya sebagai fotografer dapat membuat orang tampil dalam setting alami mereka, sehingga ia berusaha untuk mempertegas hal ini dengan menggunakan pencahayaan buatan untuk mendramatisasi rutinitas sehari-hari. Gambar-gambarnya menjadi adegan di mana orang-orang, melalui penampilan mereka, mengekspresikan diri dalam apa yang menjadi set film atau panggung teater. Garis tipis antara fakta dan fiksi, dokumenter dan seni, perilaku manusia dan akting memberikan gesekan yang membuatnya terus kembali ke tempat-tempat di mana kondisi manusia dipertanyakan. Bahkan dalam kesedihan yang paling tragis, ia menemukan teater, kebanggaan, dan di atas segalanya, keagungan semangat manusia.

Karya Majoli terdapat dalam berbagai koleksi publik, termasuk Museum Seni Halus di Houston, Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, International Center of Photography, Margulies Collection, Snite Museum of Art, MUFOCO, dan Mucem. Di antara banyak penghargaan, ia telah menerima W. Eugene Smith Memorial Fund Fellowship untuk Fotografi Humanis, Guggenheim Fellowship, ICP Infinity Award, Getty Images Grant, NPPA Photographer of the Year, dan OPC Feature Photography Award. Bukunya meliputi One Vote (2004), Libera Me (2010), Congo (2015), Andante (2018), Scene (2019), dan Opera Aperta (2021).

Alex Majoli tinggal di New York. Ia bergabung dengan Magnum Photos pada tahun 1996 dan menjadi anggota penuh pada tahun 2001.
