‘OVERLOAD’ POTRET TRANSPORTASI ANGKUTAN BARANG DALAM KARYA STREET PHOTOGRAPHY

Abstract

Humans are creatures that are able to move and move from one place to another. Long
before the wheel was discovered as part of the means of human transportation, animals and
livestock such as horses, cows, camels and even elephants were used as a means of
transportation. Apart from being a tool to speed up and lighten the travel time of these
animals, sometimes the burden is attached to the rider. After the wheels were found, humans
made transport vehicles that functioned as places for passengers and goods which were then
pulled by animals so that the loads carried became more efficient and more efficient.
Along with the development of time from time to time until finally motorized vehicles were
found, the distance between the movement of people and goods was getting farther, more
numerous and faster. Humans can move freely with current road facilities and adequate
facilities. Almost everyone today can afford a vehicle from a bicycle to a plane depending on
the abilities and needs of each individual.
Movement or mobilization is not only human but also goods. Movable goods clearly require
transportation assistance and humans as the perpetrators and are supported by the ease of
road facilities and infrastructure. Each vehicle created has its own specifications and
specifications, be it designation, capacity and recommended load. For example, passenger
vehicles are not allowed to carry goods and vice versa. Especially if it is related to the
recommended load capacity, whether it is a passenger vehicle or goods, it will clearly affect
the safety of both the driver, passengers and luggage. Seeing the tendency in Indonesia,
things related to the transportation function and discipline are often violated, the writer and
photographer in this study is interested in the theme of 'overload', namely the portrait of
transportation, especially freight transport in Indonesia, which is often seen carrying excess
burden or over capacity in street / Street photography works. Photography
