访谈四一期 / InterView vol.41

靳华（豆瓣）的摄影是安静的，这正好符合她喜欢的罗兰·巴特说过的一句话，“摄影必须是安静的：这不是关于判断的问题，而是关于音乐。”对于我们观者而言，她的摄影总是存在一种亦远亦近的疏离感，在无形中带给人恍如隔世的错觉；而对于她自己而言，摄影更多是她内心与世界产生联系的纽带，即便若即若离，却可以时时提醒自己并未和这个世界走得太遥远。她不断地测试自己与世界的关系和距离，包括最近的“明信片计划”，在执行的过程中发现人与人之间的距离并没有那么遥远。访谈中，假杂志请她谈了摄影的起点、加拿大留学的经历以及两个代表性系列作品背后的故事。

Hua (Phoebe) Jin‘s photography is silent, which is in accordance with one of her favorite words by Roland Barthes, “The photograph must be silent : this is not a question of discretion, but of music.” For us viewers, her photography has a sense of alienation, bringing us an illusion of a different world. For herself, photography is more like a ligament between her inner world and the real world, though not always being strong, reminding herself not going too far away from the world. She likes to test her relationship and distance with the world, including her new project “Postcards Exchange”, in which she found that the distance between each one was not as far as we thought. In the InterView, Jia Za Zhi invited her to talk about the beginning of her photography, her experience of studying in Canada, and background stories of her two representive works.

小山内大輔 Osanai Daisuke

小山内大輔，1980年生于青森县，2002年移居东京，2005年开始从事摄影，去年开始在瀬戸正人设在 Place M 的工作坊学习摄影。假杂志今天要介绍的是他的『物質の行方』系列。关于这个系列，他说：

“我之所以拍摄空景，是因为这样看到的物体之间都很平等，每个物体的特性都消失了。这样，会产生什么样情绪呢？我试图去否定拍摄者的观点。”

祁颖 Qi Ying

祁颖（豆瓣、fotoyard），1985年 4月26日生于陕西西安，毕业于西安工程大学服装设计系，现居北京，任职于广告公司。本文选自他拍摄于2009年的“落”系列。关于这个系列，他说：

“这组照片是我24周岁也是本命年一年中很随性的拍摄。因为2009年我在生活和工作上比较低迷，受到一些挫折，经济拮据，于是我搬到了房租比较便宜的远郊。每天上下班都会走很长很长的一段路，在路上会遇到一些和我心里感觉上很相似的人、景、物。也许它们的心情和我的并不一样，只是我自己的一个心灵写照罢了。它们并没有什么特殊的意义。”

Qi Ying was born in Apr. 26, 1985 in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, China, and graduated from Fashion Design Department at Xi’an Polytechnic University. He now works in an ad agency in Beijing. These works are from his Fallen series, which were shot at eastern suburb of Beijing in his low-mood period in 2009. You can visit his website and flickr to see more works.

访谈四〇期 / InterView vol.40

Andrés Medina生于1978年的西班牙马德里，现在是当地一家广告公司的创意总监。他的摄影都是胶片作品，大多数是用中画幅拍摄。Andrés自学摄影，有时也会问摄影师朋友，也在书中和网上寻找牛逼的摄影师。他喜欢捕捉生活中的瞬间，并让它们存活、安放在摄影的记忆中，并试图在每一张照片中融入自己的情感。他经常找到一些平时人们不会去的地方拍摄。他的作品大多为空镜头，假杂志想要重点推荐的是他的“夜景”作品。本文选取他的两个系列作品。

Andrés Medina was born in Madrid in 1978. He works as art director at an advertising agency in Madrid, Spain. In his work he only uses analog cameras, mostly medium format. Andrés taught himself to use these cameras and measure the light, asking other photographers and seeing the work of the ‘great photographers’ in books and internet. He likes to capture special moments in his life and his aim is to keep them alive and safe in his photographic memory. He tries to convey a sense of emotion within every photograph he makes. In general he seeks out places which you wouldn’t usually expect to be photographed. Most of his works are empty lens, and what we want to recommend is his night landscape works. In this interview, we choose two series from him.

Lucas Foglia

Lucas Foglia 出生在长岛的一个小家庭，目前居住工作在纽约和旧金山。 这些照片选择自他的”Re-Wilding”系列，从2006年开始他在美国东南部旅行途中，采访、拍摄了那些从城市中逃离出来居住在大自然中的人们。他们因为环境问题，宗教信仰，和预测经济崩溃等各种原因而离开城市，在荒野中建造自己的居所，在附近的小溪中采集水源，狩猎，种植自己的食物。但是他们其实并没有彻底隔断自己与主流社会的联系，大部分人的家中还是有电脑和互联网的连接。

Lucas Foglia (b. 1983) was raised on a small family farm in Long Island and is currently based in New York and San Francisco.  These photos are selected from his “Re-Wilding” project.  “Since 2006 I have traveled throughout the southeastern United States, befriending, photographing, and interviewing a network of people who left cities and suburbs to live off the grid. Motivated by environmental concerns, religious beliefs, or predictions of economic collapse, my subjects build their homes from local materials, obtain their water from nearby springs, and hunt, gather, or grow their own food. ”

周范 Zhou Fan

周范，1983年生于山西。2007年下半年，他入选了中国新锐画家奖的25位新锐中国艺术家，并最终获得之前一直空缺的“特别提名奖”。获得这个奖之后，他逐渐受到了媒体的关注。关于他的绘画，他说道：

“我的一系列绘画都是源于我小时候的梦，天上飘着许多水母，有些乘着降落伞落到地面变成了蘑菇。这些梦对我产生了很大的影响，并清楚的记得。我总是莫名其妙的认为梦比现实更吸引人。”

Zhou Fan was born in 1983 in Shanxi Province in northern China. In late 2007, Zhou Fan was selected as one of the top 25 emerging Chinese artists at the Chinese Art Prize. Zhou Fan was given the “special mention” prize, which had never been awarded before. The Chinese Art Prize launched Zhou Fan’s career, and allowed him to gain much more exposure. He said:

“A series of my paintings is based on dreams that I had as a child of many many jellyfish floating in the sky, some of which fell to the ground on parachures and became mushrooms. These dreams had a strong impact on me, and I remember them vividly. Somehow I feel that it is easier to focus on dreams than reality.”

Lisa Dahl

Lisa Dahl是一位“多”媒体艺术家，她涉及的领域包括绘画、摄影、装置、录像等。出生于明尼阿波利斯的她 ，随着家庭住遍了近半打的美国的州，现居纽约。关于她的作品，她说道：

“由于在成长过程中不断的搬家，于是我将这些郊区的房子——有点类似于我儿时的记忆——当作了理想中的美国梦的化身。我将房子的结构简易化，只留一个基本的样子，探索我们对家的传统意识，以及这些建筑给是如何唤起我们的个人理想、经济问题、城市规划以及对环境问题的考虑。我利用各种艺术媒介来探究我与这些房子及其营造的社区既爱又恨的关系。”

Lisa Dahl is a mixed-media artist who works in painting, photography, installation and video. Born in Minneapolis, Dahl has lived in half a dozen different States, and currently lives and works in New York City. According to her works, she said:

“Having moved around frequently growing up, I use the suburban home – like those reminiscent of my childhood – as an idealistic icon of the American Dream. By simplifying the structure of a house to a basic form, I explore the traditional ideas we attach to home ownership as well as what these buildings evoke for us: personal goals, economic issues, urban planning, and environmental concerns. I work in a variety of artistic media to investigate the love-hate relationship I have with these houses and the sprawling communities they create.”
