Description(s)

“Memories of the Sacred” represents part of an ongoing series of photographs that Rio has been working on in Bali for the last 30 years. Despite the rampant overdevelopment and commercialization of parts of the island, a certain spirit lives on. It is a set of impressions and ‘memories’ of a certain intangible spirit that pervaded the Bali we experienced, and that manifests in surprising yet regular ways through classic Balinese spiritual culture. The Balinese themselves express all that in a much simpler way: Sekala/Niskala (What You See and What You Don’t). This book is Rio’s first truly-personal photography book, and it is a book that reflects a large and important period of his life.

-|Description of information="Henri Cartier Bresson, a master of black and white photography, observed that taking a good photograph required “a velvet hand and a hawk’s eye.” This rare skill is abundantly evident in the 60 photographs in Biography of Rio Helmi’s most recent book project, Memories of the Sacred, a collection distilled from many thousands of images taken over a 30-year period by this seasoned Bali-based professional photographer."

-"Helmi is an uncommonly expressive writer in his own right. Long explanatory captions accompany each photograph, chronicling not just the subject matter and place, but also the reasons why a wayong wong performer intensely contemplates his mask, why a young boy falls into trance, what he was thinking as a kilometer long procession, and what happened when he stumbled into a Kintamani temple courtyard, even though he released the shutter more than 20 years ago."
-|Description of information ban=“Henri Cartier-Bresson, pinaka juru potrék hitam putih let, maosang “yéning ngambil foto sané becik patut ngamerluang, pangrasa halus lan panyingakan bétel”.

-|Description of information id=“Henri Cartier-Bresson, seorang fotografer hitam putih kawakan, mengatakan bahwa mengambil sebuah foto yang bagus memerlukan “sentuhan halus dan tatapan tajam”. Kecakapan langka ini jelas terlihat pada enam puluh foto dalam buku proyek Biography of Rio Helmi terbaru ini, “Memories of the Sacred” sebuah koleksi yang disarikan dari beribu-ribu foto yang diambil fotografer profesional kawakan yang berbasis di Bali  selama tiga puluh tahun. “....” Helmi juga merupakan penulis yang amat ekspresif. Keterangan-keterangan foto berisi penjelasan panjang menemani setiap karya foto , mengetengahkan tidak saja subjek foto dan lokasi pemotretan, tapi juga alasan kenapa seorang penari wayang wong merenungi topengnya dalam-dalam, kenapa seorang anak laki-laki kesurupan, buah-buah pikirannya yang menyerupai sebuah prosesi sepanjang satu kilometer, dan apa yang terjadi ketika dia tanpa sengaja masuk ke halaman luar sebuah pura di Kintamani, walau ia telah mengambil gambar tersebut lebih dari dua puluh tahun lalu.
