P2A UII: Melihat dan Membuat Foto dengan Kacamata Feminin

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Fotografi selama ini didominasi oleh laki-laki. Setiap kali melihat fotografer, baik di media cetak maupun online, pasti dihuni oleh sosok laki-laki. Jikapun melihat fotografer perempuan, hanya segelintir saja. Foto yang dihasilkan pun cenderung adalah pembingkaian yang lahir dari budaya patriarki. Fotografi femini lahir untuk menjadi kritik dan alternatif untuk menangkap foto yang melihat dari sisi feminin.

Panizza Allmark, Profesor of Visual and Cultural Studies from Edith Cowan University, Australia memaparkan hasil kajiannya tentang fotografi feminin dalam sebuah Webinar P2A Ice Cream 2021, International Course on Creative Media. Passage to Asean (P2A) tahun ini mengambil tema Inspiring the World with Creative Production. P2A Ice cream 2021 ini diprakarsai oleh Program Ilmu Komunikasi Universitas Islam Indonesia pada 16 November 2021. Selain UII, ada juga universitas lain yang menjadi Co-host, misalnya, Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) dan Duy Tan University Vietnam. Sedangkan beberapa mitra resmi antara lain juga adalah termasuk AIC (Academy International Cambodia), Unika Atma Jaya Jakarta, Binus University, Genetic Computer School Singapore, University of Economic and Law Vietnam, Vietnam National University, Svay Rieng University, Victoria University College, dan lain-lain.

Dalam presentasinya “Photographie feminine and documentary photography”, Allmark banyak menjelaskan apa itu fotografi feminine dan mengapa lahir perpektif ini dalam dunia fotografi. “Fotografi feminine adalah kritik representasi partiarki. Kamera bisanya ada di belakang laki-laki, dan merepresentasikan cara pandang laki-laki. Karena, selama ini sejarahnya didominasi laki-laki.”

Kamera yang merupakan alat tembak untuk membingkai foto kini bisa dilihat dari cara pandang feminin. Untuk menunjukkan seperti apa fotografi feminin, Allmark juga menampilkan foto-foto karyanya. Ia ingin menunjukan bahwa fotografi feminie tak sekadar fotografer yang secara fisik perempuan karena perempuan bisa saja memiliki cara pandang patriarki.

Beberapa foto yang dihadirkan oleh Allmark adalah fotostory yang menunjukan demo perempuan-perempuan dengan wajah trauma karena anaknya yang diambil oleh pemerintah otoriter. Mereka sedang berdemontrasi menuntut informasi dan anaknya kembali. Dalam salah satu foto itu terlihat dua orang perempuan yang hendak berpelukan ketika masih mengenakan atribut tulisan protes masih melingkar di pundak mereka saat demontrasi.

Ia ingin menunjukan bagaimana kondisi psikologis perempuan karena anaknya hilang dan ketika mereka saling menguatkan satu sama lain saat melakukan aksi protes.

Foto lainnya adalah foto yang berusaha untuk membingkai kembali foto yang diproduksi oleh patriarki. Ia mengambil foto secara acak dimanapun ia berada .

“Saya ingin menunjukan perpektif berbeda. Foto-foto ini berusaha tampil sebagai kritik terhadap foto-foto yang ada.”

Ada pula foto foto yang ditangkap oleh Panizza di Bangkok, yakni sebuah foto yang didalamnya memuat gambar seorang wanita yang berhasil meraih gelar akademik, bersamaan dengan gambar seorang wanita berpose vulgar dengan mengenakan pakaian dalam.

Dalam foto tersebut, Allmark melihat sebuah kontras oposisi biner dalam sebuah foto yang ia tangkap sendiri dengan kacamata feminin.

P2A Communication UII: Viewing and Making Photos with Feminine Perspective

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Men have dominated photography. Every time Allmark sees a photographer, both in print and online, it is inhabited by a male figure. Even if you see female photographers, only a few. The resulting photos also tend to be framing born of patriarchal culture. Feminine photography was taken to critique and an alternative to capturing images that look from the feminine side.

Panizza Allmark, Professor of Visual and Cultural Studies from Edith Cowan University, Australia, presented the results of her study on feminine photography in a 2021 P2A Ice Cream Webinar, International Course on Creative Media. This year’s Passage to ASEAN (P2A) takes the theme Inspiring the World with Creative Production. P2A Ice cream 2021 was initiated by the Communication Science Program at the Universitas Islam Indonesia on November 16, 2021. 

Besides UII, other universities are co-hosts, for example, Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) and Duy Tan University Vietnam. At the same time, some of the official partners include AIC (Academy International Cambodia), Unika Atma Jaya Jakarta, Binus University, Genetic Computer School Singapore, University of Economic and Law Vietnam, Vietnam National University, Svay Rieng University, Victoria University College, and other.

In her presentation “Photography feminine and documentary photography,” Allmark explained a lot about what feminine photography is and why this perspective was born in the world of photography. “Feminine photography is a critique of patriarchal representation. The camera is usually behind the man and represents the male perspective. Because, so far, its history has been dominated by men.”

The camera, a shooting tool for framing photos, can now be seen from a feminine perspective. To show what feminine photography looks like, Allmark also displays pictures of her work. She wants to show that feminine photography is not just a photographer who is physically female because women can have a patriarchal perspective.

Some of the photos presented by Allmark are photos showing demonstrations of women with traumatized faces because authoritarian governments took their children. They are demonstrating demanding information and their child back. In one of the photos, two women are about to hug while still wearing the protest sign still wrapped around their shoulders during the demonstration.

She wanted to show how the psychological condition of women because their children were missing and when they supported each other during protests.

Other photos are photos that attempt to reframe photos produced by the patriarchy. She took photos randomly wherever she was.

“I want to show a different perspective. These photos try to appear as a critique of the existing photos,” She said.

Panizza also takes a photo in Bangkok, which is a photo which contains a picture of a woman who has won an academic degree, along with an image of a woman posing vulgarly in underwear.

Allmark sees a binary oppositional contrast in a photo he captured with feminine glasses in the image.
