Ukusebenza ngezinga elikhulu akuyona into entsha kumqophi wensimbi u-Joseph Gagnepain, umdwebi odayiwe ngoboya oye e-Chicago Academy for the Arts kanye ne-Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Wathola indawo yokusebenza ngezinto ezitholiwe lapho ehlanganisa isithombe esibaziwe cishe ngokuphelele emabhayisikili alahliwe, futhi kusukela lapho uye wasebenza ukuze ahlanganise zonke izinhlobo zezinto ezitholakele, cishe njalo esebenza ngezinga elikhulu.Izithombe ezinikezwe uJoseph Gagnepain

Abantu abaningi abazama isandla sabo ezithombeni zensimbi bangabakhiqizi abazi kancane mayelana nobuciko. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi bashisela ngomsebenzi noma umsebenzi wokuzilibazisa, bahlakulela ukulangazelela ukwenza okuthile okunobuciko, besebenzisa amakhono abawathole emsebenzini nesikhathi esikhululekile ekhaya ukuze baphishekele ukuthambekela komdwebi.

Bese kuba nolunye uhlobo. Uhlobo olufana noJoseph Gagnepain. Ungumculi odayiwe ngoboya, wafunda esikoleni samabanga aphezulu eChicago Academy for the Arts futhi wafunda eMinneapolis College of Art and Design. Uyakwazi ukusebenza emithonjeni eminingi yezindaba, uyiciko lesikhathi esigcwele elipenda imidwebo yasezindongeni ukuze ibukiswe ngumphakathi kanye namaqoqo ayimfihlo; udala izithombe eziqoshiwe ngeqhwa, iqhwa, nesihlabathi; yenza izimpawu zokuthengisa; futhi uthengisa imidwebo yangempela namaphrinti kuwebhusayithi yakhe.

Futhi, akakutholi ukuntula ugqozi oluvela ezintweni eziningi ezilahliwe ezitholakala kalula emphakathini wethu wokulahla.

Ukuthola Inhloso Yokuphinda Kusetshenziswe Izinsimbi

Uma uGagnepain ebuka ibhayisikili elilahliwe, akavele abone ukonakala, ubona ithuba. Izingxenye zamabhayisikili—uhlaka, ama-sprockets, amasondo—zisiza emifanekisweni eqoshiwe yezilwane enemininingwane, efana nokuphila eyakha ingxenye enkulu yomculo wakhe. Ukuma kwe-angular kohlaka lwebhayisikili kufana nezindlebe zempungushe, izibonisi zikhumbuza amehlo esilwane, futhi ubukhulu obuhlukahlukene bamarimu bungasetshenziswa ochungechungeni ukudala umsila we-fox oluhlaza.

"Amagiya asho amajoyinti," kusho uGagnepain. “Bangikhumbuza amahlombe nezindololwane. Izingxenye ziyi-biomechanical, njengezinto ezisetshenziswa ngesitayela se-steampunk, ”kusho yena.

UGagnepain, obemenywe ukuba ngomunye wabaculi abavelele kulo mcimbi, uthole umcabango ekhweni lakhe ukuthi asebenzise izingxenye zamabhayisikili abanjwe wumnyango wamaphoyisa endawo ukuze enze lo mfanekiso.

“Amabhayisikili sawahlukanisa ngomgwaqo wakhe futhi sakha umfanekiso oqoshiwe egaraji. Benginabangane abathathu noma abane beza bazongisiza, ngakho bekuyinto ejabulisayo, enokubambisana,” kusho uGagnepain.

Isinambuzane esifana nesithwalambiza sime cishe ngamamitha angu-6 ukuphakama. Indoda egibele iqoqo lamabhayisikili, elidlala emuva ezinsukwini zamabhayisikili afika ngesenti ekhulwini leminyaka edlule, icishe ilingane nenani lokuphila. Enye yezimpungushe zakhe inkulu kangangokuthi ingxenye yefreyimu yebhayisikili yabantu abadala yakha indlebe, futhi amaningana amasondo akha umsila nawo asuka emabhayisikili alingana nabantu abadala. Uma kucatshangelwa ukuthi impungushe ebomvu inesilinganiso esingaba ngu-17 in ehlombe, isikali siyingqayizivele.

Ngale Komjikelezo

Akuzona zonke izithombe eziqoshiwe zikaGagnepain ezenziwe ngezingxenye zamabhayisikili. Uthungatha ezindaweni zokuklwebha, uphenya emigqonyeni kadoti, futhi uthembele emnikelweni wensimbi ukuze athole izinto azidingayo. Ngokuvamile, akathandi ukushintsha isimo sangempela sento etholiwe kakhulu.
