bagdadU pul­skoj Foto gale­ri­ji na Forumu od 11. do 15. ruj­na odr­ža­vat će se izlož­ba «Reutersovog» foto­re­por­te­ra Nikole Šolića pod nazi­vom «Bagdadski zalasci».

From the 11th to the 15th of September the Photo Gallery at the Forum Square in Pula will host the exhi­bi­ti­on titled “Baghdad Sunsets” by Nikola Šolić, Reuters pho­to reporter.


Izložba je nas­ta­la u okol­nos­ti­ma nje­go­va borav­ka u Iraku, gdje je po «Reutersovom» zadat­ku čekao suđe­nje Sadamu Huseinu. (Igrom slu­ča­ja upra­vo je on pos­ljed­nji sni­mio irač­kog dik­ta­to­ra pri­je nje­go­va smaknuća.)


Tijekom pauza, sva­ke je veče­ri odla­zio na krov te sni­mao zala­ske sun­ca. Iz toga nas­ta­la je ova zanim­lji­va i impre­siv­na izlož­ba koja svje­do­či o povi­jes­nim tre­nu­ci­ma, ali i o nji­ho­vom kontekstu.


Ovom seri­jom foto­gra­fi­ja s kojom je već napra­vio neko­li­ko izlož­bi, Nikola Šolić ponu­dio je druk­či­ju vizi­ju rat­ne stvarnosti.


Među nji­ma je i foto­gra­fi­ja rat­nog heli­kop­te­ra koji pro­la­zi kroz crve­no sun­ce u Bagdadu, a koju je «Reuters» pro­gla­sio foto­gra­fi­jom godi­ne 2006.


Šolić je rođen 1957. u Hrvatskoj Kostajnici. Iako umjet­nik u svom pos­lu, Šolić nije zavr­šio stru­kov­nu foto­graf­sku školu.


Prije nego se počeo bavi­ti foto­gra­fi­jom, godi­na­ma je radio kao novi­nar za veći­nu vode­ćih novi­na ‘80-ih godi­na, poput «Starta» i «Večernjeg lista».


Od 1990. bora­vi te izvje­šta­va s rat­nih podru­čja čime pos­ta­je jedan od svjet­ski poz­na­tih hrvat­skih rat­nih fotoreportera.


Izložba je otvo­re­na do 15. ruj­na, a može se pogle­da­ti od 19 do 22 sata. (I. R.)

This seri­es of pho­to­grap­hs came to life during the aut­hor’s stay in Iraq, whe­re he was cove­ring the Sadam Husein’s tri­al as a Reuters repor­ter. Šolić also took the last Husein’s pho­to­graph befo­re his exe­cu­ti­on. During the inter­mi­ssi­ons, Šolić was spen­ding his eve­nin­gs on roof­tops cap­tu­ring sun­sets. On the­se occa­si­ons Šolić cre­ated mate­ri­als uni­ted in this exhibition.

This seri­es of pho­to­grap­hs, alre­ady shown wit­hin fra­mewor­ks of seve­ral exhi­bi­ti­ons, pre­sents a dif­fe­rent view of the reality of war. Among other pho­to­grap­hs the audi­en­ce will have the oppor­tu­nity to see the one pre­sen­ting a war heli­cop­ter rushing thro­ugh the red Baghdad sun, the pho­to­graph which was pro­no­un­ced the pho­to­graph of the year 2006 by Reuters.

Šolić was born in Hrvatska Kostajnica in 1957. Although he is an expert in pho­to­grap­hy, he has no for­mal tra­ining in this field of art. Šolić used to work as a jour­na­list for a num­ber of leading news­pa­pers in the 1980s («Večernji list», «Start»). Since 1990 he has been a war repor­ter and has beco­me one of the wor­ld class Croatian reporters.

The exhi­bi­ti­on is on view until the 15th of September (from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.).
