故事（十） STORY 10 by Zhang Hongtao

大家肯定没想到，昨天是第九个故事，今儿怎么就第十啦？因为，这周一直在做“假杂志出版计划”的第一本摄影书，都没时间更新这边，但我说过的，无论多忙，无论假杂志是否有纸本杂志或出版在做，这里绝对不会断掉，所以这篇算是对过去一周疏于更新的补偿。我非常同意最近采访《idea》主编室賀清徳时，他说的一句话，“网络和纸本自有适合自己呈现的内容”。 第十个故事讲述者是年轻的摄影师张弘弢，他讲的故事是“消失中的恩宁路”。同样的主题，我也曾采访过另一位摄影师陈引，供大家参考。

You may be surprised about the 10th story following the last one so nearly. This week I was busy with the first photo book in Jiazazhi Publishing Project (short as J.P.P.), leaving no time to update here. but I said whether there was paper magazine or publishing, this blog would never stopped, so this story can be considered as a compensation to the slackness of this week. I absolutely agree one sentence by IDEA’s chief editor Kiyonori Muroga he talked to me in the interview, “Both webzine and magazine has its own character to show different content.”

The 10th story was told by a young photographer Zhang Hongtao,about “Disappearing Enning Road in Guangzhou”. The other photographer Chen Yin has talked with me about the same theme too, just for reference.

故事（九） STORY 09 by Dooling Jiang

新锐服装设计师Dooling Jiang是第一位摄影师以外为我们的讲故事的人。她于2010年创立了概念设计项目“消化”及消化工作间。2011春夏，消化第一个服装系列发布，分为两条线，“消”为成衣，“化”为概念，两者互补组成整个系列。今天她为我们讲的就是“消化”及其第一个服装系列的故事。

Young fashion designer Dooling Jiang will be the first story-teller who is not a photographer. She set up the conceptual design project DIGEST and digest design workshop [ddw] in 2010. In May 2011, Digest launched its first collection, in which there are two lines-­‐“Xiao” represents the RTW line and“Hua” represents the conceptual line. These two lines compliment each other and constitute into one body of work. She will tell the story behind the Digest and its first collection.

Peter Hoffman

这些风景照选自美国摄影师Peter Hoffman的post-landfill landscapes系列。诗意的影像背后却是一个个关于现实的故事，照片中地点其实都是居民区倾倒掩埋生活垃圾的地方。

Peter Hoffman (1984) is based in nowheresville/everywheresville suburbia (Lisle/Naperville, Illinois) but working in Chicagoland and throughout the Midwest.

Erwin Olaf

Erwin Olaf 的艺术（摄影）将不能言说和被忽视的东西低调地形象化，而绝非简单的记录。Olaf的最大特点是，将社会事件 、禁忌、资产阶级习俗以鲜明的风格和巧妙的模式展现在图片中。他以异常敏锐的审美直觉将主题隐藏起来，使观者在最初看到他作品系列时被隐瞒过去，然而到最后，他不同寻常的风格一定会对观者在视觉和情感上造成戏剧化的冲击。他注重背景和光线的设计以及超乎完美的构图，热爱构思严谨的情节，他以自己独一无二、完美干净的手段生动地捕捉了现代生活的本质。本文选取了他的三个系列，从上至下分别是：希望、忧伤和雨。（翻译/阿慢）

Erwin Olaf‘s art (photography) visualizes implicitly the unspoken, the overlooked, that typically resist easy documentation. Olaf’s trademark is to address social issues, taboos, and bourgeois conventions in a highly stylized and cunning mode of image making. With his razor-sharp aesthetic intuition, Olaf purposely conceals his themes, so that the viewer has to accept the initial concealment in Olaf’s photo series. Yet in the end, his unconventional style never misses to deliver dramatic visual and emotional impact.By taking care of the scenic and lightning design, and the utmost perfect composition in his typical, immaculate Olafian way, together with his passion for flawlessly conceiving scenarios, Olaf vividly captures the essence of contemporary life. The works we select are from three series: HOPE, GRIEF & RAIN (from top to bottom).

Jocelyn Lee

Jocelyn Lee 的作品里最吸引我的是那种自然散发出来的懒散悠闲的感觉和那些照片里人物的脆弱无助。

访谈四八期：朱墨 InterView 048: Zhu Mo

本期假杂志访谈的摄影师朱墨（the scientist）是个谨慎浪漫的人。之所以在浪漫前加个谨慎是因为他总是有意无意的将自己的浪漫掩藏，却又在有意无意之间流露出浪漫的本性。这在他拿着印刷版的“空日”系列，给我讲系列背后故事的时候尤为明显。在他眼里，摄影是一件关乎记忆和情感的事，“也许记性不好的人更能体会摄影的美好”，正如他爱的荒木经惟说过的一句话，“如果记忆变得淡薄点，照片就会呈现出一种浪漫的状态。”本文作品选自两个风格颇为不同的“空日”和“向北”系列，作品后是访谈。

 

The photographer we interviewed this time was Zhu Mo, a half-romantic man. I described him as “half-romantic” because he tended to hide his romance, but always revealed it unintentionally. In his opinion, photography was a thing about memory and emotion. “You will feel better about photography if you are a person with a bad memory”, he said. He also quoted a sentence from his favorite photographer Araki Nobuyoshi,”the picture will show a kind of romantic feeling, if the memory became thinner.” The two series we selected, Kong Ri & North Way, were quite different. The interview is below the works.
