Ecotone

身体作为过渡地带

皮肤止于何处,环境始于何处,以及划定这一界限的不可能。

在生态学中,生态交错带(ecotone)是指森林与草甸等相邻群落之间的过渡区域,两个群落的物种皆可在此共生。《Ecotone》得名于这种重叠状态,将人体作为其所处地景的一部分进行拍摄。皮肤赋予身体轮廓,但这条界线并不总是足以将身体与周围环境区分开来。

在数幅照片中,林间的绿意渗入肤色。在岩石映衬下,苍白的躯干与背后的石色极为接近,视线往往先在两种表面之间游移,随后才察觉出差异。在另一些画面里,树干与长草更直接地打破了身体轮廓:它们横穿斜倚的人体,或遮蔽躯干的大部分,仅留髋部的一只手与一窄条皮肤可见。

尺度的变化改变了各个表面所获得的注意力。在碎裂的岩壁脚下,身体仅占据画面的一小部分;而在另一处,折断的树干相互倾靠成一道拱形,倚靠其下的身体显得微小,树木本身的结构则足以让观看者单独审视。在近景中,细小的石粒沿着肋骨附着在皮肤上。石粒有其自身的棱角与色彩,身体则成为它们借以显现的基底。

这些均为摆拍的照片,每一个姿态都取决于所在的具体环境。树枝必须承受模特的重量,岩石间的缝隙则限制了身体所能占据的空间。肩部的位置同时记录下有意识的姿态与它所倚靠的表面。即便姿态看似平静,皮肤依然直接贴合在树皮或岩石之上。在《Ecotone》中,身体与地貌之间的边界,唯有在眼睛执意寻找时才得以存在。
