Ngaphantsi kwentente enkulu, kunjalo Elia Berthoud !! Imodeli yamazwe ngamazwe, ene-aura eyinkimbinkimbi kunye nehlabathi, u-Elia, unokukothuka kukufunda, uchithe iminyaka elishumi esekisini. Xa umntu esithi uEliya uyahlekisa, kusenokufuneka ubathathe ngokoqobo. Eyaziwa ngokuba ngumhlathi omangalisayo kunye nemilebe ethambileyo, u-Eliya ubonwa njengemodeli eyindoda kune-clown efihliweyo phantsi kwe-makeup. Nangona, ndicinga ukuba ukubukela ubuso bakhe obunzima kunye nomzimba wakhe uhamba ngentambo eqinile kunokuba mnandi. Mhlawumbi umntu unokwenza ifoto yakhe esenza i-acrobatic feats! U-Eliya oyonwabileyo unobuntu obukhazimlayo kwaye bunamacala amaninzi njengemvelaphi yakhe.
Kutshanje, imvakalelo yaseSwitzerland uElia wenze ifoto yefoto kunye ne-NYC-based UJoseph Lally yePnV/Fashionably Male. Kudala singabalandeli bomsebenzi kaLally. Italente edumileyo, uLally usebenza kumaqonga eendaba amaninzi kunye nezinye zeemodeli ezinkulu kunye neearhente zehlabathi.
UJoseph Lally ngumenzi wefilimu we-avant-garde, umfoti wefashoni kunye nombhali onomsebenzi wakhe ikukudala ‘ubuhle obuhenda iliso kunye nomxholo oqhekeza imida yengqondo.’ Qiniseka ukuba ujonga ikhonkco elingezantsi ukuze ubukele iifilimu zakhe ezibangela umdla. .
Okwangoku, lonwabele udliwanondlebe lwethu no-Elia Berthoud ngemifanekiso emitsha kaJoseph Lally:
Ke, okokuqala, iziseko ezithile, uEliya. Ingakanani iminyaka yakho, ubunzima, kunye nobude? Iinwele/ umbala wamehlo? Usuku lokuzalwa? Zeziphi ii-arhente ezimele wena? Yeyiphi idolophu yakho kunye nendawo ohlala kuyo ngoku?
Okokuqala, enkosi Peaks N Valleys ngokuba nolu dliwano-ndlebe nam. Ndineminyaka engama-23 ubudala, iiponti ezingama-175 kunye no-6’1’ ubude’. Iinwele zam zimdaka, kwaye ndinamehlo aluhlaza. Ndazalwa nge-1/31/1993. Ndimelwe ngu-d1 New York, d1 London, Major Milan, kunye nabanye abambalwa kwihlabathi jikelele. Idolophu yasekhaya yidolophu encinci ebizwa ngokuba yiHinwil, ekufutshane neZurich, kwaye ngoku ndihlala eNew York.
Ke, ukhulele kumaphandle amahle asemaphandleni kufutshane neZurich, eSwitzerland. Ivakala njengezulu kum? Ndixelele ukothuka kwenkcubeko yokuba seNYC? Ufudukele nini e-US? Ngaba ukhumbula iindawo ezivulekileyo eSwitzerland ngokuchasene nekhonkrithi kunye ne-sky scrapers ye-NYC?
Ukuqala kwam ukutyelela eNew York ndaziva ngathi esi sixeko sikhulu kakhulu kum. Kodwa oko kwakungaphambi kokuba ndihlale eBeijing, eTshayina kwaye ndihambahamba eAsia. Ngoku ndikhe ndahamba kancinci kwaye ndabona iindawo ezininzi, iNew York ibonakala ngathi inobungakanani obufanelekileyo, ayincinci kakhulu ayinkulu kakhulu. Ngoko xa kuthelekiswa neSwitzerland ndikhumbula izitrato ezicocekileyo kunye nomgangatho ophezulu wokuphila obonwa ngabantu baseSwitzerland (okanye mhlawumbi abanakonwabeli ngokwaneleyo). Kodwa ukuba ndikhumbula indawo evulekileyo, ndithanda ukuthatha uhambo eCentral Park okanye kwi-Hudson River Greenway. Ukuhamba ngokuqinisekileyo kundenze ndilixabise ikhaya lam kunanini na ngaphambili kwaye ndiqonde ukuba yonke indawo kufuneka ibonelele ngezinto ezahlukeneyo. Ngoko andiqondi ukuba kutheni abantu bekhalaza. Ukukhalaza sisimo nje esibuthathaka sengqondo, apho ugxininisa kwizinto ezingakhiyo kunezilungileyo.
Kwenzeka njani ukuba ube lichule kulwimi? Uthetha iilwimi ezingama-73 okanye enye into. Haha. Sixelele ngaloo nto. Kufuneka ube yintlola karhulumente!
Haha. Ewe, ndithetha isiJamani, isiFrentshi, isiTaliyane kunye nesiNgesi kakuhle, kwaye ngoku ndifunda iSpanish kunye nesiJapan. Ayisiyonjongo yam ukuzithetha zonke ngokugqibeleleyo, kodwa ndifuna ukuqonda nokunxibelelana nabantu abaninzi kangangoko. Abazali bam babesoloko bendixelela ukuba kubalulekile ukufunda ngezithethe ezahlukahlukeneyo nokusebenzela uxolo lwehlabathi. ISwitzerland lilizwe elikumbindi weYurophu, eliphakathi kwamazwe atyebileyo nahlwempuzekileyo kakhulu. Emva kweemfazwe ezininzi ezijikeleze imida yaseSwitzerland, iSwitzerland yanika iimbacu ezininzi. Umama wayesoloko ezama ukufunda amagama ambalwa kuzo zonke iilwimi onokucinga ngazo, ukuze akwazi ukwamkela iimbacu kunye nalo naluphi na uhlobo lwabantu basemzini abagqiba kwelokuba bahlale nokusebenza eSwitzerland. Ndenjenjalo ke nam. Abantu abaninzi boyika abantu basemzini, kuwo onke amazwe endawatyelelayo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku. Kodwa kuya kuba ngcono ukubandakanya abantu ekuhlaleni kwaye ubanike ikhaya. Wonke umntu uyalihlonipha kwaye uyalikhusela ikhaya lakhe kwaye ukuba abantu basemzini baya kulihlonela kwaye balikhusele ikhaya labo elitsha akukho mntu uya kuboyika.
Ke, u-Eliya…usebenze iminyaka elishumi esekisini! Sinike ibali. Uqale nini? Njani? Wenza ntoni?
Ewe, ngokwenene, ndikhulele eqongeni kunye nesekisi. Ndaqala ndineminyaka emi-6 kunye noodade bam ababini abadala. Yayisekisi yabantwana, eyayikhokelwa ngumfundisi-ntsapho wodade wethu omdala ngelo xesha. Yayingathi yinto yokuzonwabisa, kodwa sasinemiboniso emalunga nama-40 ngonyaka, nto leyo eyayisenza ukuba ibe yinto enkulu kuthi kobo buncinane. Kule minyaka ili-10 ndenze inani ngalinye onokucinga ngalo: bendingumlingo, i-clown, ijuggler, ifakir, i-tightrope walker, i-unicyclist, kwaye sinamanani amaninzi endingawaziyo nenguqulelo yesiNgesi. Endizithandayo yayingamanani njengegcisa likatrapeze, endawenza iminyaka eyi-9.
Ugqibele njani ungumzekelo? Sixelele ukuba kwenzeka njani yaye nini oko? Yintoni eyakukhuthazayo?
Emva kweminyaka eli-10 yesekisi, uninzi lwabahlobo bam basesekisini baqalisa ukusebenza kwaye banexesha elincinci lokubeka umzamo wokwenyani kumanani kwaye ndaziva ngathi lixesha lokwenza into entsha. Ndiye ndakhethelwa iqela lomdaniso elimangalisayo elalixhaswa yiPuma, endalidanisa, de kwamsinya nje emva kokwahlukana. Ebudeni babo bonke ubuntwana bam, de kwangelo xesha ndandisenza imiboniso eyahlukahlukeneyo ndaza ndaqeqeshwa kwimidlalo eyahlukahlukeneyo nobugcisa, yaye ngoku ndandingenanto yakwenza. Ndakhumbula umhlobo kamama wam endixelela ngaphambili ukuba kufuneka ndizame ukwenza imodeli, ndiye ndaqala ukucwangcisa ifoto yam kwaye ndakha ipotfoliyo yam yokuqala.
Sixelele ngokudubula kwakho kokuqala. Yabakho njani? Ubunovalo?
Ukudubula kwam okokuqala yaba ngumhleli weempahla zokuqubha kunye namantombazana amabini, kwimagazini yaseJamani. Ndifumene intengiso yomsebenzi kwiforum yemodeli. Ndandingenaxhala. Njengezinto ezininzi endizenzileyo ebomini bam ndaziva ndonwabile ngokuba nethuba elihle lokuhamba nokusebenza kwiindawo ezingaziwayo. Ngolu kudubula, ndaya eMunich, eJamani, kwaye ekugqibeleni intlawulo yayifana ncam neendleko zam zokuhamba. Ngoko ke umvuzo wawumbi, kodwa ndandinamava am okuqala kunye nexesha elimnandi, ngoko ndandijonge ukwenza imodeli ibe yinxalenye yekamva lam langoku.
Ukuhamba umgaqo weenqwelo-moya kunye nokubeka imifanekiso. Bahluke kakhulu akunjalo? Ukhetha ntoni, Elia? Uzilungiselela njani ngokwasengqondweni?
Ukunyaniseka, andicingi ukuba loo misebenzi yahluke kakhulu. Ubuncinci bafuna izakhono ezifanayo. Imodeli idinga ubuso obulungelelanisiweyo, umzimba kunye nenkangeleko yomsebenzi. Ukuba ezo zinto zintathu zifanelekile, imodeli inokwenza nawuphi na umsebenzi. Kum, ngokobuqu, kubalulekile ukuba ndonwabe kwaye ndibekwimo enobubele xa ndisebenza, ukuze wonke umntu onwabe kwaye neqela likwazi ukwenza iziphumo ezixabisekileyo.
Yeyiphi imodeli oyithandayo? Ubusoloko usesekisini...uyadanisa. Ngaba leyo yimvelaphi ehambelanayo ekulungiseleleni umfuziselo? Uyihlalutya ngokunzulu kangakanani imveliso yokugqibela xa iphuma?
Ndiyakonwabela ukudibana nokusebenza nabantu abaninzi balo naluphi na uhlobo yonke imihla. Yonke imihla lusuku olutsha kunye neqela elahlukileyo lomsebenzi owahlukileyo. Imvelaphi yam ayifunwa, kodwa amaxesha amaninzi ndifumana inzuzo kumava am adlulileyo, ngakumbi malunga nokutshintsha kweqela kunye nokugqibelela. Izakhono zam ze-acrobatic zazinqabile emsebenzini wam ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, kodwa ndinethemba lokufumana amathuba okuzisebenzisa kwixesha elizayo. Ndigxeka kakhulu kuwo wonke umsebenzi endiwenzayo. Akulula ukwanelisa umntu ofuna ukugqibelela. Haha.
Ibe yintoni enye okanye ezimbini eziphambili kwikhondo lakho lokumodela ukuza kuthi ga ngoku?
Xa ndandibuyela eMilan, ndafumana ithuba lokudubula ngentsomi yokwenene. Igama lakhe nguGiampaolo Barbieri. Ngokwenene kwakukwiveki ephelileyo, xa wandinika ukuba ndidubule kwakhona kwincwadi yakhe ezayo.
Kwaye enye imbalasane yayikukuba, xa ndafumana i-visa yam yokusebenza yase-USA kwiinyanga ezimbini ezidlulileyo, eyandivumela ukuba ekugqibeleni ndihlale kwaye ndisebenze eNew York!
Ngoobani abanye abafoti onokuthi uphuphe ukudubula nabo?
Hmm, umbuzo onzima… Kukho inyambalala yabafoti endingathanda ukudibana nayo kwaye ndifote nabo. Ukukhankanya nje abambalwa: u-Ellen von Unwerth, uSteven Klein, uBruce Weber, uBenjamin Lenox, uPartick Demarchelier, uSteven Meisel, uMert noMarcus.
Elia, luthini usukelo lwakho lwexesha elide? Yintoni eya kuba yifantasy yakho yokugqibela? Ngaba unethemba lokuhlala ngokusisigxina e-USA?
Bendisoloko ndithanda iindlela ezahlukeneyo zokwenza, kwaye ndiyakuthanda ukufota kunye nokwenza iifilimu. Iinjongo zam zexesha elide kukusebenzisana namagcisa okudala kunye nokufumana iindlela zokukhuthaza abantu abaninzi kangangoko ukuba bavule iingqondo zabo, baphile impilo ephilileyo kunye nokudala ixabiso ebomini babo.
Andifuni ukuhlala kwindawo enye kuphela, injongo yam kukuhlala ndihamba, kwaye ndihlale ndinxibelelana nabo bonke abantu abakhulu endidibana nabo kwihlabathi liphela kwaye ndineendawo ezininzi endinokuthi ndibize ikhaya.
Uyawuthanda umdaniso kunye nokufunda i-ballet? Yiyiphi inzaliseko oyifumanayo koko?
Andingomlandeli omkhulu wokukopa izinto abanye abantu abakhe bazichaza njengezigqibeleleyo. Ngoko ke, i-ballet yinto nje yokuzilolonga kum. Kodwa kuyandinceda ukuba ndisebenze kwisimo sam kwaye ngumsebenzi olungileyo. Ukuba ndingaze ndidanise eqongeni kwakhona, ayizukuba naluphi na uhlobo lomdaniso weklasikhi nangona kunjalo.
UkwangumBhudi, uEliya. Uyifumanise nini lonto ebomini bakho? Ikuzisela ntoni? Ngaba ngamanye amaxesha kukho ukungqubana nenkolo kunye nendlela yokuphila yemodeli yamadoda?
Abazali bam baba ngamaBhuda ngaphambi kokuba ndizalwe, yaye xa ndandineminyaka elishumi elinanye ndaqalisa uqheliselo lwam lwemihla ngemihla. Amava am okuqala ngale philosofi abutshintsha ngokoqobo ubomi, ngoko ke andizange ndiyeke.
Ngokungafaniyo nazo zonke iinkolo eziphambili ezisekiweyo, ubuBhuda baseMahayana abungqubani nendlela yokuphila eyimodeli. IBuddhism ikhuthaza uxolo kwaye icwangciswe ngokusengqiqweni kwaye ayiphelelwa lixesha. Yayiyinkolo yokuqala eyakha yakhuthaza ukulingana ngokwesini (kwiminyaka engama-3000 eyadlulayo eyayinotshintsho olululo) kwaye ikhuthaza wonke umntu oqeqeshelwa umsebenzi ukuba athathele ingqalelo ubomi bakhe, endaweni yokuthintela uludwe lwezono. Kananjalo akukho mandla angaphandle, njengothixo kubuBhuda, okwenza le nfilosofio yodwa kwaye ingqinwe ngokusengqiqweni.
“Unqulo ngumbandela omkhulu endithe ndenza ngawo udliwano-ndlebe lweyure enye kunomathotholo waseSwitzerland ngehlobo elidluleyo. Ngoko phantse akunakwenzeka ukuba ungene kwiinkcukacha apha. Kodwa ndingacebisa ukuba uphando ngakumbi malunga neBuddhism. Ingakumbi ubuBhuda bukaNichiren, endibuqheliselayo, bunenguqu ephawulekayo.” —UEliya
Ibe yintoni impendulo yosapho nezihlobo ekhaya malunga noElia wabo ongumzekelo? Ngaba ufumana usizi oluninzi malunga nemifanekiso eqhumayo?
Ewe, umbuzo olungileyo. Abazali bam babecinga ukuba ndiyazonwabisa nje kwaye ndisonqena, kodwa oko ndaqala ukuzihlawulela amatyala andivumela ukuba ndenze into yam. Ngoku ndifumene i-visa yam yegcisa lase-US, wonke umntu uyandixhasa ngakumbi. Umakhulu wayesoloko enebhongo ngam, ekubeni wayemodela ebutsheni bakhe eSwitzerland.
Ungasichaza njani isitayile sakho sefashoni, Elia?
Ndiyakuthanda ukunxiba izinto ezilula nezisebenzayo. Ndikhetha amalaphu akhululekileyo kunye nokusikwa kwentsusa kwiprints.
Xa ucingisisa, chaza ubuntu bakho.
Ndizama ukuthatha yonke into serious, ndibonise intlonipho kumntu wonke. Ndiyathanda ukucinga ukuba ndingumntu onengqondo nonengqondo ecingayo, kodwa ndikwanothando olonwabisayo, ozenzekelayo, onomdla kunye novakalelo.
Kuthekani ngo-Elia Berthoud unokumangalisa abantu ukuba bazi?
Emva kolu dliwano-ndlebe ndicinga ukuba akukho nto iseleyo ukukuxelela ngam, haha.
Emva kokuchitha ixesha e-USA, dlala uluhlu lwababukeli abanenjongo. Yintoni oyifumanayo eyona ilungileyo… kwaye kufuneka ibhiyozelwe ngeMelika? Ngaxeshanye, ucinga ukuba ziziphi iziphene okanye ubuthathaka obunokubakho kwilizwe lethu?
Ndikufumanisa kumangalisa, ukuba abafundi bakhuthazwa kakhulu ukuba bagxininise kwimidlalo kwiminyaka yabo yokuhamba isikolo. ESwitzerland, izikolo ziya kusilela ukuba ugxile kwezinye izinto ngaphandle kokufunda kakhulu.
Ndicinga ukuba yingxaki enkulu ukuba imfundo kunye nokhathalelo lwempilo alukho simahla kumazwe.
Ngoku iFlash Bulb Round…..impendulo ezikhawulezayo, ezilula:
—Iimuvi ezithandwayo ngamaxesha onke: a) ifilimu yesenzo/yentelekelelo b) i-comedy c) i-tearjerker?

–-Abakhweli…bapholile, bayahlekisa, okanye bayothusa?
Hmm bendingumntu ohlekisayo!! Ke ndicinga ukuba yayintle kwiminyaka elishumi eyadlulayo, kodwa ezinye zazo zinokuba yingozi kakhulu.
Zeziphi iindlela ezilungileyo kwimidiya yoluntu ukuze abantu bafikelele kuwe?
Ndazifunda zonke iiDM zam. Ngoko ukuba kukho umntu ochubekileyo nonengqiqo, ndiyathanda ukuphendula.
