Melancholia

慢光之重中的身体

忧郁如同身体背负的重担。.

Melancholia 捕捉了内心世界的一种特定温度,并从身体中解读出这种温度。悲伤和抑郁各有其独特的视觉语言,也各有其专属的摄影师。忧郁则更为沉静、更为古老:这是一种身体变得迟缓、沉重,并对周围事物更加敏锐的状态。该系列作品让这种沉重感塑造了身体的姿态。

悲伤通常有其契机和方向:某种东西已经失去,哀悼之情,无论多么缓慢,都会朝着终结的方向发展。而忧郁则没有具体事件,却绵延不绝。它无需缘由便会开始,也看不出何时会结束,因此便悄然渗入房间、午后时光和生活习惯之中。 对于一种建立在瞬间之上的媒介而言,这是最难用镜头捕捉的状态之一。

该系列将忧郁视为行动中的暂停。双手是自由的,各项能力依然完好,却未触碰任何事物。在这片刻的停顿中,注意力转向内心,放缓的身体开始察觉更多。 某种东西被紧紧握住,通常无名无形,而人物承载着它,就像承载着自身的重量一样。语言难以触及这种状态,因此照片通过姿态和神情将其呈现出来。

在 Melancholia 这份静止属于人物自身:身体转向内部,独自承受自己的重量。观者被允许进入一种情绪,除此之外别无所予。

该系列的视觉语法依赖于缓慢的光。光线仿佛是不情不愿地降临。它轻柔地照进宁静的室内空间,保持着较低的明暗对比度,更多地描绘的是时间而非形态,使得这个空间仿佛一直在等待。

The melancholic body has stopped gesturing. Clothing would give it a direction, a social context, an errand.

这些照片中的神态是慢慢浮现出来的,源自那些看似平淡无奇、却持续了很久的拍摄过程。
