山本昌南『川』摄影展 KAWA=Flow Exhibition by Yamamoto Masao

我们可以将山本昌南的摄影比作日本的俳句。俳句常常运用与季节和时令相关的词语描绘鲜活的瞬间来营造出诗的意境，而山本昌南的摄影作品呈现的瞬间有着类似的美的、流动着的意境。世界如此美丽，变化万千，我们只有停下来才能看到河川的流动。

Framed individually, Yamamoto Masao‘s work can be similar to the poetry style of HAIKU. HAIKU brings flow to the poetry world by featuring seasonal words and capturing a vivid moment.  Yamamoto’s photographic works present a moment in a similarly beautiful and momentous flow. The world is beautiful and ever changing; only when we stop at this river do we notice the flow.

专访插画师凌小童 / Interview with illustrator Vicki Ling

大约一个月前，我突然想到一个贴切的关于“假杂志”的注解——假装是一本真杂志——因为一直以来，假杂志在内容上都按真杂志的标准去做，我深信假如把这些内容做成纸质杂志，那它也是会让你满心欢喜的。也因为这样，我想着让假杂志更“杂”些，比如访谈的对象除了摄影师，也应该有画家、艺术家、设计师，乃至富有格调的音乐人和电影导演。

作为中国年轻插画师的杰出代表，凌小童（豆瓣主页）的画已经在诸如《新视线》等多家媒体上出现，她很官方的将自己称作“业余艺术家”，这样反而让她的画更加惹人喜欢。这次，她专门为假杂志的读者选了9幅作品，其中前6幅出自最新的“still life”系列。大家先看作品，也别错过访谈。

Vicki Ling is an emerging Chinese young artist based in Shanghai. Her work consists of illustration, painting, installation. These are her most recent works.  If you are interested in her works, please visit her website or flickr to see more works.

专访摄影师孙彦初 / Interview with photographer Sun Yanchu

孙彦初，1978年生于河南周口，现工作和生活在郑州。2009年参加“临点—年轻摄影家眼中的中国暨2009年度三影堂摄影奖作品展”；同年还参加了由上海鲲鲤国际影廊举办的“中国新锐摄影艺术家群展 ”。近日，在上海全摄影画廊正在展出名叫“夏至”的摄影艺术家群展，孙彦初展出作品《沉溺于此》。他在自己的作品阐述里这样说道，“一张照片到底能够表现多少真实和思想主张呢？我不知道，我只知道我不愿意停下来，在这个现实与虚幻交汇的世界，无数次地按下我手中的相机，去寻求与某个事物精神上的突然邂逅，以得到一种暂时的逃脱和无比快感。我继续着，并深深地沉溺其中……不管我拍摄的是一片杂乱的树林；一个走向好似绿野仙踪的少年背影；一条针脚缝得像拉链的大腿，都只是我与现实相撞的刹那，内心颤抖的印记……”摄影成为他的生活方式和情感的宣泄出口，无目的性却张张真实，这种疯狂地用相机扫射眼前虚虚实实的世界，以不羁的态度游走在城市，当胶卷经过几道不可避免的冲洗过程之后，呈现的是一段段路途上让人哀叹的景象，这种景象虽然就在当下，但当他们堆叠起来之后好似已经久远被尘封的景象，却直逼你的心脏，警醒着一种责任和使命。黑白的摄影画面或许更加成为一种催化剂，还有那些夜晚的刺眼闪光，形成充满力量的黑与白极大反差。这芸芸众生的百态，就像一座长满青苔的墙壁已满目疮痍，它习以为常却又令人印象深刻。而看照片的我们，虽静止地翻着一页页一张张，却早已惊涛骇浪于这些被我们忘记或者不想看到的景象，我们趋向于看到美丽的东西好安慰自己的生活并不糟糕，却失去了怒吼的步调，失去了应有的思考。我想，沉溺与清醒，是相互置换的。

Sun Yanchu is a Chinese photographer born in 1978 in Zhoukou, Henan Province. He now lives in Zhengzhou, Henan. If you are interested in his photography, please visit his flickr to see more works. You can also send the mail directly to sycfoto@163.com .

Kitchen Minoru

Kitchen Minoru 出生在美国德克萨斯州的沃斯堡，两岁的时候父母离异后便被带回日本国内生活，因此他脑中根本没有故乡的记忆。2005年，他获得了第33届日本广告摄影师协会大奖，之后他辞去了在房地产公司的职务正式成为一名自由摄影师，2009年再次获得该奖。

Kitchen Minoru最引人瞩目的作品当属“多摩川的人”系列。这个系列的产生是一次偶然的机会在多摩川拍外景看到一群放学的学生在夕阳下沿着河岸走过，他被那一 刻深深打动，害羞的他犹豫再三才下定决心上前询问这些孩子是否愿意接受他的拍摄。学生们欣然接受，于是就有了第一部分的“多摩川的人”。Kitchen Minoru从此找到了自己摄影创作的方向，一直在多摩川的河岸旁守候走过的人，也逐渐拍下其他不同的人，其中有工人，有交通协管员，有消防队员，有恋 人，也有孩子。这些作品全部为摆拍，大家的目光一律都虔诚的望向正在落下的夕阳。摄影师认为，夕阳是一天中最特别的时刻，人们往往能在那一瞬间看到一个真 实的自我。而屏幕前的你在看到这些夕阳下的人的时候，是怎样的情绪呢？感伤、孤独、幸福，抑或是满足？

Kitchen Minoru was born in Fort Worth, Texas. At the age of two, his parents divorced, and as Kitchen Minoru was brought up in Japan, he had no recollection of the Texas landscape or his original home. He had suffered a complex because of this ever since. He graduated from Hosei University. He won the 33rd Japan Advertising Photographers’ Association Awards in 2005. After a brief employment in the realty business, he realized his dream of becoming a freelance photographer in 2005.  He won the 37th Japan Advertising Photographers’ Association Awards for the second time in 2009.

His most famous work is “The People of Tamagawa” series, shooting people who passed by the riverbank of Tamagawa in the sunset.

David Balhuizen

David Balhuizen生 于荷兰阿姆斯特丹，毕业于海牙皇家艺术学院摄影系。在与荷兰最牛的广告公司合作之后前往伦敦。他最近的成绩是获得了2009年英国摄影协会AOP摄影奖， 他的个人作品由此逐渐受到关注。这些作品选自他的“东京”系列，将日本在重新建构它的历史和文化的过程中面临的困境展示在人们面前，因为西方文化对日本人 的影响其实已经远远超过了传统文化。David Balhuizen的作品构图严谨，基调呈土色，既有别于以往日本的高科技社会的形象，也不同于日本坚守传统的形象，从而让它的身份特征进一步遗失。


David Balhuizen was born in Amsterdam and received his BA in photography at the Royal College of Art in The Hague.  After working with the best in Dutch advertising he decided to move to London.  With his recent success in Londons most prestigious AOP-Awards/2009 he has put his latest personal projects to the forefront. These images are from his Tokyo series, addressing the difficult task for Japan of reconstructing itself on its cultural and historical roots whilst Western influences are more deeply felt. Far from the typical images of a high-tech society or a traditional Japan, David Balhuizen’s rigorist framework and earth-toned perspectives exacerbate the loss of an identifying trait.

专访艺术家金浩钒 / Interview with artist Jin Haofan

金浩钒(kim227) ，1987年出生于广东，今年毕业于四川美术学院油画系。川美每年6月都会有一个“开放的6月”各系毕业展，在今年的毕业展上Kim227展出了自己的毕业作品，除了画作之外还自己创新了一把，将自己的画做成一段动画视频《i wanna be》。北京玉兰堂画廊一眼相中他的作品。我关注他是在去年了，一开始是摄影作品，一直以为kim是学摄影的，但后来看到了他的绘画作品，被深深吸引住。他的作品中主体大多都是儿童，确切地说是“青少年，介乎于儿童和成人之间。”但却丝毫不显幼稚和可爱，相反是一种带有毁灭和嘲讽的攻击，以艳丽和出奇的色彩及人物状态勾勒出一种致命的玩笑和戏剧感，似乎他们都有魔力活在另一个奇妙的星球上。而他的摄影也是在关注城市中的细微之处，在常态的城市建筑或场景之中寻求一些偶遇，这种偶遇或许是一个怪诞的物件也或许是最动人的情感片刻。见到kim是在几天前，北京刚刚告别40度高温的炎热，换来这一场又一场的夏雨，他说，北京的热比重庆的热好多了，好舒服~呵呵。他话不多，卷发，时不时摸摸鼻子和眼镜，像个孩子也如我想象中一般。下面是作品和采访部分：

Jin Haofan (kim227) was born in 1987, Guangdong, China. He graduated from Oil Painting Department at Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in June 2010. Besides painting, his photography is brilliant as well. If you are interested in his painting or photography, please visit his flickr to see more works. You can also send the mail directly to kim227@163.com .
