Only You Are Close, When Everything Is Far Away

水边的身体

在疫情期间,在水边重新感受到与大自然的亲近。

这一系列作品诞生于疫情期间,当时出行停滞、工作室关闭,人与人之间的物理距离也受到限制。一种多年来在团体和共享空间中持续进行的实践戛然而止。生活惯常节奏的这种中断,为我们重新审视身体的需求及其与周围环境的关系开辟了一条途径。

标题源自土耳其诗人奥克泰·里法特的一句诗: “Bir sen yakınsın, uzakta kalınca” (“当远离时,唯有你亲近”)。在这里,人的声音向自然诉说。疫情造成的分离,让现代生活中被遗忘的亲近重新变得可感。身体的脆弱使人重新意识到它对自然的需要,以及它在自然中的位置。

In modern life, nature is often imagined as a place outside the everyday, somewhere people visit and leave. The pandemic called that separation into question through the vulnerability of the body. Breathing, touch, and sharing an environment with other living beings mattered in a new way. As people withdrew from one another to protect themselves, they felt again how closely their lives are bound to nature. The series looks for this awareness in bodies at the water's edge.

在这些照片中,人们坐在岸边、蹲着,或蜷缩成一团。有些画面中,人物仅占据风景的一小部分;有些则构图更近。 黑白基调将肌肤的质感与沙、石、水及植被的纹理交织在一起。每种姿态都通过与所在环境的关系而赋予了意义。

岸边是陆地与水交汇之处,双方在此不断重划彼此的边界。在这里,身体对所触及的地面、水的流动以及开阔的空气都极为敏感。它的赤裸,昭示着它对周围环境的开放与依赖。波涛近在咫尺;流水近在咫尺;大地近在咫尺。 标题中的文字正源于这种亲近感:是对身体所归属之世界的认同。

本系列与以下系列紧密相连: Ecotone,其摄影将身体视为自然的一部分。
