九七回歸後，中國大陸和香港在文化藝術的交流日益增廣；可我們看到的藝術攝影作品，大多傾向觀念先行，而一些傳統的類型卻鳳毛麟角；好像「人像攝影」(Portrait Photography)，一直以來它都佔據著攝影發展的重要位置，但近年卻難得一見。沈瑋，一個在中國上海成長的藝術家，他的系列人像作品於國際的藝術攝影領域備受關注。 《中國情節》是沈氏近年有關中國的專集，當中分為「人像」和「景物」兩部份，「光影作坊」主要選取了「人物」部份於香港展出。沈氏處理人物肖像的方法有別於傳統，他將重點和內容回歸到被攝者的身上，拍攝的視點每每吸引著觀者的凝視，同時誘使觀者引發一連串問題，並作出反思。他希望「在沒有任何外界影響下體驗一個真實和朴質的中國，用最自然的視角撲捉生活點滴，從內心去體驗一個內斂親密的中國人文文化。」透過相片中的人物，觀眾可以感受到在急促發展下，中國人的種種狀態和思緒。 Although arts exchange between Hong Kong and China has been intensifying since its return to China, fine art photography as we now see is dominantly in conceptual form. While traditional forms like portrait photography, which has played a significant role in the history of photography, can rarely be found in recent decades. Shen Wei, a Shanghai born fine art photographer, gained tremendous attentions from the international art world by his portraits. He was named as one of the top fifteen emerging photographers in the world by the American Photo Magazine, and was also part of PDN’s annual PDN30 list. Shen’s recent series Chinese Sentiment on life of the Chinese, composing landscape and portrait photography. The upcoming exhibition at Lumenvisum mainly features his portrait works aim to retain the focus on the subjects’ own self. He invites the audience to “appreciate the real China without its political and economic influence, to reveal China from an internal and intimate perspective.” At the same time, the photographer challenges the audience with a series of questions, like if it is a staged photography or a candid one, as well as the relationships between the photographer and the subjects. Through his images, Shen reveals the complex sentiment of the modern Chinese. 開幕 Opening 5/11/2011 (Sat) 6:00-8:00pm 藝術家講座暨新書簽名會 Artist Talk & Book Signing 5/11/2011 (Sat) 4:30-6:00pm 展覽日期 Exhibition Date 6/11-18/12/2011
