Barbarian is a term that was used by the ancient Greeks and Romans for all foreigners whose languages were unintelligible and whose cultures were alien to their own. So, how can I call motorcycle culture from a Christian point of view? A motorcycle is just a means of transport, and it has no elements of culture in human meaning. The motorcycle culture is like a barbarians culture of beads. And the behavioral pattern of these people doubles this impression.
PS: After I wrote this comment, I listened to your conversation with Christian Fergo and found his video on YouTube. How can we combine his music with the discussed motorcycle culture? Such pantophagy is harmful to the human body.
Hi, Alexander - Thanks for your comments. As counterpoint to your statement "A motorcycle is just a means of transport, and it has no elements of culture in human meaning", you may want to take a look at Lichter's short video on his site's home page called "On the Photo 'Looking Back' 2003" for examples of the motorcyle as a work of art. As for assessing the value of any group or culture, looking more deeply provides the opportunity to make the unintelligible more understandable. For me, that's one of the functions of photography.
The talk is not about photography itself, and Michael is a really good photographer. The talk is about 'motorcycle culture,' and yes, from a barbarian point of view, the glass beads are a work of art.
A barbaric culture, which crept globally. Michael clearly likes it, but not all will agree with him.
Why would you call it barbaric, Alexander?
