Combining... Autonomous photographs

Abstract

An interesting phenomenon for the author is using the Instagram social networking site, known for large numbers of users presenting personal content through their art work. What is also intriguing in this aspect is combining text (poetry) with photography. The author seeks an answer to the question: what does the Internet offer to an artist? How does it change thinking in photography? What is fascinating here is the possibility of instant publication and getting instant feedback (likes) as well as advertising oneself (hashtags); to a great extent this changes motivation and artwork itself. Instagram has been used by the author to create the work lampyris_insanus as the most natural “tool” for combining visual and written art, to be specific: photography and poetry.
