Elsewhere

公共空间中的裸体

一个被放置在未经许可之处的身体,以及它仅仅存在于那里的瞬间。

Elsewhere 在公共空间拍摄裸体。 该系列提出了一个关于存在的简单问题:在一个与他人共享的空间里,赤身裸体地“存在”意味着什么?这些并非活动家意义上的表演或干预。它们更为静谧:在那些短暂的瞬间里,一个“不属于此地”的身体被定格、被拍摄,然后重新融入城市之中。

自由、温柔、暴露与自我保护并存:身体在每一幅画面中都占据一席之地,而它的呈现方式则随地点的不同而变化。

公共空间遵循着鲜少被明文规定的规则:陌生人之间应保持多近的距离,视线可以停留在何处,街道允许人们看到身体的哪些部位。 赤裸的身体让这一切瞬间显现,并改变了周围万物的意义。人行道变成了边界,窗户变成了见证者,路人则成为了照片中张力的一部分。

该系列从两个不同的距离角度呈现城市。近看时,人体置身于城市之中:在晾着一排排衣物的狭窄街道上,倚靠着阳光洒落的墙壁,站在运河桥上,或从阳台探身俯瞰水面。远观时,人体则伫立在城市之前。 黄昏时分,在岸边,一位人物面对镜头,身后城镇的灯光在水面上蔓延开来。 从这个角度看,城市化作一道剪影——由屋顶和亮着灯的窗户构成的线条;而与之相映成趣的那个赤裸的身影,既展现了面对城市所建造的一切时,一个人是多么渺小,同时也昭示着,人们依然无法忽视她的存在。

The photographs are staged with care, and most are made quickly, so as not to disturb people passing by. Every session rests on the participant's consent, with the freedom to stop at any moment. Locations are chosen for their architecture. The body enters these spaces and takes a posture that is neither decorative nor defiant. A nude figure in public space produces a different kind of photograph from a nude in the studio: the environment becomes a collaborator, and sometimes an adversary.

Elsewhere 以亲密的尺度展开:一两个身体,一条街道或一段海岸,不制造奇观。 身体从未成为人群,也从未成为集体的政治符号。某些影像带有幽灵般的质感,仿佛那个身影只以半现半隐的状态出现在有人居住的街道上。这种创作方法源于在城市中无固定路线地漫游,而这种漫游最终抵达了一个身体——它就那样静静地存在于一个意料之外的地方。

照片看似平静,拍摄的瞬间却并不平静。每个身影背后都有一座城市的节奏,随时可能转过街角;即使它已经离开,这种节奏仍留在图像中。
