Fotograf narave, Frans Lanting, uporabi živahne podobe, da nas popelje globoko v živalski svet. V tem kratkem, vizualnem govoru nas pozove k vnovični povezavi z drugimi zemeljskimi bitji in k slečenju metaforičnih kož, ki nas ločujejo med sabo.

a voice for the animals,

jaz pa bi rad dodal še glas za živali,

whose bodies and minds

Some years ago, it was my good fortune

Pred nekaj leti sem imel srečo,
00:28
to meet a tribal elder on an island
4
16358
1948
da sem srečal starešino plemena
na otoku nedaleč od Vancouvra.
na otoku nedaleč od Vancouvra.

His name is Jimmy Smith,

2378
Njegovo ime je Jimmy Smith
00:35
and he shared a story with me
7
23238
2249
in z mano je delil zgodbo,
00:37
that is told among his people,

ki si jo pripovedujejo
med njegovimi ljudmi,

00:39
who call themselves the Kwikwasut'inuxw.

ki si pravijo Kwikwasut'inuxw.
00:43
Once upon a time, he told me,
10
31035
2695
Pred davnimi časi, mi je rekel,
00:45
all animals on Earth were one.
11
33730
2857
so vse živali na Zemlji bile eno.
00:48
Even though they look different on the outside,
12
36587
2924
Čeprav na zunaj izgledajo različno,
00:51
inside, they're all the same,
13
39511
3240
so odznotraj vse enake
00:54
and from time to time they would gather
14
42751
2655
in od časa do časa so se zbrale
00:57
at a sacred cave deep inside the forest
15
45406
2750
pri sveti jami globoko v gozdu,
da bi slavile svojo enotnost.
da bi slavile svojo enotnost.
01:00
to celebrate their unity.
16
48156
2492
Ko so prispele,
01:02
When they arrived,
17
50648
1744
so si slekle svojo kožo.
01:04
they would all take off their skins.
18
52392
2528
01:06
Raven shed his feathers, bear his fur,
19
54920
3524
Krokar je slekel svoje perje,
medved svoj kožuh
medved svoj kožuh
01:10
and salmon her scales,
20
58444
2463
in losos svoje luske,
potem pa so zaplesali.
01:12
and then, they would dance.
21
60907
2922
Nekega dne pa je do jame prispel človek
in se smejal temu, kar je videl,
in se smejal temu, kar je videl,
01:15
But one day, a human made it to the cave
22
63829
3301
01:19
and laughed at what he saw
23
67130
1584
01:20
because he did not understand.
24
68714
3124
ker ni razumel.
01:23
Embarrassed, the animals fled,
25
71838
2869
Osramočene so živali pobegnile
01:26
and that was the last time
26
74707
2227
in to je bilo zadnjič,
01:28
they revealed themselves this way.
27
76934
3622
da so se razkrile na takšen način.
Starodavno razumevanje, da so pod svojimi
različnimi identitetami vse živali eno,
različnimi identitetami vse živali eno,
01:32
The ancient understanding that underneath
28
80556
2684
01:35
their separate identities, all animals are one,
29
83240
2903
01:38
has been a powerful inspiration to me.
30
86143
3738
je bilo zame močan navdih.
Rad grem mimo krzna, perja in lusk.
01:41
I like to get past the fur, the feathers
31
89881
3063
01:44
and the scales.
32
92944
1629
Rad bi prišel pod kožo.
01:46
I want to get under the skin.
33
94573
2228
Ne glede na to,
ali sem soočen z ogromnim slonom
ali sem soočen z ogromnim slonom
01:48
No matter whether I'm facing a giant elephant
34
96801
2800
01:51
or a tiny tree frog,
35
99601
2148
ali majhno drevesno žabo,
je moj cilj, da nas povežem z njimi,
iz oči v oči.
iz oči v oči.
01:53
my goal is to connect us with them, eye to eye.
36
101749
6892
02:00
You may wonder, do I ever photograph people?
37
108641

Lahko se vprašate,
če sploh kdaj fotografiram ljudi?
če sploh kdaj fotografiram ljudi?
02:03
Sure. People are always present in my photos,

Seveda.
Na mojih slikah so vedno prisotni ljudje,

da upodabljajo želve

02:09
to portray tortoises

ali leve.
Naučiti se morate le,
da vidite skozi njihovo krinko.

02:16
You just have to learn how
to look past their disguise.

43
124253

02:20
As a photographer,
44
128751
1734
Kot fotograf poskušam seči čez razlike
v našem genetskem ustroju,
v našem genetskem ustroju,
02:22
I try to reach beyond the differences
45
130485
2815
02:25
in our genetic makeup
46
133300
1964
02:27
to appreciate all we have in common
47
135264
3597
da bi lahko občudoval vse,
kar imamo skupnega
kar imamo skupnega
z vsemi živimi stvarmi.
02:30
with every other living thing.
48
138861
3378
Ko uporabljam svoj fotoaparat,
02:34
When I use my camera,
49
142239
2329
02:36
I drop my skin
50
144568
1923
slečem svojo kožo
02:38
like the animals at that cave
51
146491
2700
kot živali pri tisti jami,
02:41
so I can show who they really are.
52
149191
3937
da lahko pokažem, kdo so v resnici.
Kot živali, ki so blagoslovljene
z močjo racionalne misli,
z močjo racionalne misli,
02:45
As animals blessed
53
153128
2250
02:47
with the power of rational thought,
54
155378
3374
02:50
we can marvel at the intricacies of life.
55
158752
4533
se lahko čudimo zapletenosti življenja.
02:55
As citizens of a planet in trouble,
56
163285
2836
Kot državljani planeta v težavah
imamo moralno dolžnost,
imamo moralno dolžnost,
02:58
it is our moral responsibility
57
166121
2564
03:00
to deal with the dramatic loss in diversity of life.
58
168685
5555
da se spopademo z dramatičnim
zmanjšanjem v raznolikosti življenja.
zmanjšanjem v raznolikosti življenja.
Kot ljudje s srcem,
03:06
But as humans with hearts,
59
174240
1867
03:08
we can all rejoice in the unity of life,
60
176107
3933
pa se lahko veselimo enotnosti življenja
03:12
and perhaps we can change
61
180040
2840
in morda lahko spremenimo,
03:14
what once happened in that sacred cave.
62
182880
3880
kar se je nekoč zgodilo v tisti sveti jami.
03:18
Let's find a way to join the dance.
63
186760
5232
Najdimo način, da se pridružimo plesu.
03:23
Thank you.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Frans Lanting - Nature photographerFrans Lanting is one of the greatest nature photographers of our time. His work has been featured in National Geographic, Audubon andTime, as well as numerous award-winning books. Lanting's recent exhibition, The LIFE Project, offers a lyrical interpretation of the history of life on Earth.
Why you should listen
In the pursuit of his work, Frans Lanting has lived in the trees with wild macaws, camped with giant tortoises inside a volcanic crater, and documented never-before-photographed wildlife and tribal traditions in Madagascar. The Dutch-born, California-based photographer has traveled to Botswana's Okavango Delta, the rain forests of Borneo and the home of emperor penguins in Antarctica.
The resulting photographs -- staggering in their beauty, startling in their originality -- have brought much-needed attention to endangered species and ecological crises throughout the world. In 2001, HRH Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands inducted Lanting as a Knight in the Royal Order of the Golden Ark, the country's highest conservation honor -- just one of many honors he has received throughout his illustrious career.
