Abstract

Photography as an art medium in Indonesia started with the establishments of Perhimpunan Amatir Foto (PAF) and Forum Fotografi Bandung (FFB) which marked its rapid growth in Bandung. This study focuses on Terry Barrett’s Selectivity, Instantaneity, and Credibility principle, particularly its application in the artworks of the Bandung Contemporary Art Awards #6 2019 finalists. Selectivity involves selecting a point of view, subject matter, visual quality, colors, paper, and the prints themselves. Instantaneity is one of the qualities that differentiates photography and other mediums, where photography is not faced with an empty canvas and doesn’t require a long period of time to render an image. Credibility is how the object that is present within the photography and represents what was faced by the photographer and the lens. Bandung Contemporary Art Awards #6 2019 becomes the main focus because of its vision to accommodate artworks that are far from the traditional conventions, and this study is written to find out how the Selectivity, Instantaneity, and Credibility principle underlies the application of photography in art today. The artworks this study analyzes include “Luruh” by Susilo Nofriadi in cameraless photography “Space and Power” by Sandi Jaya Saputra in photojournalism, and “Don’t Call Me Hero: Soejono” by Vincent Rumahloine in found photography.The Atlantis Press Proceedings article template has many predefined paragraph styles for you to use/apply as you write your paper.
