Barbara Norfleet, uzn\u00e1van\u00e1 fotografka, kter\u00e1 se d\u0159\u00edve v\u011bnovala dokumentaci lidsk\u00e9 spole\u010dnosti, se vydala na strhuj\u00edc\u00ed cestu do \u0159\u00ed\u0161e hmyzu. Jej\u00ed nejnov\u011bj\u0161\u00ed kniha “Iluze uspo\u0159\u00e1dan\u00e9ho pokroku” zkoum\u00e1 paralely mezi slo\u017eit\u00fdm sv\u011btem hmyzu a slo\u017eitostmi lidsk\u00e9 p\u0159irozenosti.<\/p>\n\n
Norfleetiny fotografie zobrazuj\u00ed hmyz zapojen\u00fd do \u0159ady lidsk\u00fdch \u010dinnost\u00ed, od brouk\u016f pou\u0161t\u011bj\u00edc\u00edch draky a\u017e po \u0161estinoh\u00e9 v\u00e1le\u010dn\u00edky v pochodu.

Norfleetin jedine\u010dn\u00fd p\u0159\u00edstup k fotografov\u00e1n\u00ed hmyzu vy\u017eadoval p\u0159ekon\u00e1n\u00ed n\u011bkolika v\u00fdzev. \u017div\u00fd hmyz se uk\u00e1zal jako m\u00e1lo spolupracuj\u00edc\u00ed, zat\u00edmco mrtv\u00e9 \u0161v\u00e1by p\u0159itahovaly ne\u017e\u00e1douc\u00ed pozornost mravenc\u016f. Jej\u00edm \u0159e\u0161en\u00edm bylo obstarat si su\u0161en\u00e9 exempl\u00e1\u0159e ze St\u0159edn\u00ed a Ji\u017en\u00ed Ameriky a pe\u010dliv\u011b zachovat jejich exoskelety.<\/p>\n\n
Aby dos\u00e1hla po\u017eadovan\u00fdch konfigurac\u00ed pro sv\u00e9 fotografie, zm\u011bk\u010dila Norfleet k\u0159ehk\u00e9 p\u0159\u00edv\u011bsky hmyzu t\u00edm, \u017ee je um\u00edstila do provizorn\u00ed humidoru.

P\u0159es v\u00e1\u017enost sv\u00e9ho z\u00e1m\u011bru je Norfleetino d\u00edlo \u010dasto prostoupeno n\u00e1dechem humoru.

Jej\u00ed schopnost naj\u00edt humor ve sv\u011bt\u011b hmyzu zd\u016fraz\u0148uje univerz\u00e1lnost lidsk\u00fdch zku\u0161enost\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n
Exoskelety hmyzu hraj\u00ed v Norfleetin\u00fdch fotografi\u00edch z\u00e1sadn\u00ed roli. Nejen\u017ee zaji\u0161\u0165uj\u00ed zachov\u00e1n\u00ed hmyzu, ale tak\u00e9 dod\u00e1vaj\u00ed jej\u00edm sn\u00edmk\u016fm vrstvu intrik a nadpozemskosti.

Edward O. Wilson, renomovan\u00fd entomolog, napsal p\u0159edmluvu k Norfleetin\u011b knize, kter\u00e1 zd\u016fraz\u0148uje pr\u016fnik mezi um\u011bn\u00edm a v\u011bdou. Wilson poznamen\u00e1v\u00e1, \u017ee Norfleetino d\u00edlo “n\u00e1m \u0159\u00edk\u00e1 n\u011bco o lidsk\u00e9 p\u0159irozenosti, zejm\u00e9na o jej\u00edch marniv\u011bj\u0161\u00edch, zbab\u011blej\u0161\u00edch a dal\u0161\u00edch po\u0161etil\u00fdch projevech”.<\/p>\n\n
Norfleetiny fotografie vyvol\u00e1vaj\u00ed u div\u00e1k\u016f celou \u0159adu emoc\u00ed.
