Running is no longer just a sport; it has become a lifestyle. The photo exhibition "The Art of Fast," held showcased running as an artistic medium to reach a wider audience.
The enormous impact of this phenomenon has generated a variety of inspirations. Two photographers, Alif Ghifari and Bill Satya, are among those who captured running from an artistic perspective in a series of works featured at the exhibition.
Quoted from an official statement, Monday, Alif made Atjong Tio Purwanto, the Indonesian national record holder in the 3,000m steeplechase race, his muse.
Taken at the training location of the Indonesian Athletics Association (PB PASI) in Pengalengan, Bandung Regency, West Java, Alif captured Atjong Tio's expression with a raw and intuitive approach.
Her photographs capture the rarely seen aspects of running: breath, sweat, and tension. These photographs reveal running as both human and vulnerable.
Meanwhile, Bill immortalizes the energy of the city and the community in running through the collective movement of adidas Runners Jakarta, a running community created by adidas.
The focus of the photos in this photo exhibition from adidas Indonesia and Adidas EVO SL is on the details of footsteps moving forward as vehicles move, people waiting on the side of the road, and urban spaces with buildings and traffic lights.
Besides the photo exhibition, The Art of Fast event also has many other exciting activities such as running with running communities such as Degen, OA Running, USS Running, Full Send, Minutes of Miles, and Sweat & Smile Running Club.
