访谈四九期:张君钢 InterView 49: Zhang Jungang

每次我开始疑惑摄影到底是什么的时候,我就会到张君钢(k1973)的网站去逛逛,然后就明白,这就是摄影。就是抱着这样的崇拜,我一直想做一次他的访谈。这次趁着他的新系列发布,访谈一事终于如愿。希望借张君钢的这个拍摄于冰天雪地的系列,能给各位带去一丝沁凉。

Every time I question what photography is, I will visit Zhang Jungang’s website, then I know this is it. He is such a fabulous photographer that I’ve admired for a long time, and I planned for several times to do an interview with him, but was postponed all the time. Along with his new series, we interviewed him finally.

Noah Wilson

These images are selected from Noah Wilson’s Ground Truthing series. Please help Noah Wilson fund his trip to photograph in Montana. He made a Kickstarter page (here), and he’s asking for a pretty modest sum.

假杂志出版计划01 Jiazazhi Publish Project 01 OBSESSED

假杂志 要做出版早已不是秘密。其实,最早构想的还是一本半年刊或季刊杂志,其次才是出版计划。但一本杂志的构架显然要复杂于一本摄影书,于是就先有了这本《OBSESSED》。这本摄影书的缘起当然还是孙彦初自己在去年用数码快印的《Obsessed》(沉溺于此),我看到后便和他商议以“假杂志出版计划”的名义帮他重新设计、出版这本摄影书的事宜,我们一拍即合。但好事多磨,我们又各自忙于自己的事儿一直拖到今年3月,他来北京,说西五艺术中心要为他举办摄影个展,这本摄影书也由此迎来了最好的出版机会。6月4日,孙彦初个展开幕,《OBSESSED》同日首发,全书也正好是64页,即便是偶然,但却是多么有意义的数字。

细心的你也许已经发现,我一直以“摄影书”(Photo Book)来称呼《OBSESSED》,因为我真的不认为这本书从编选、设计、印刷上达到了最优质的摄影画册的水准,但它却有着另外的意义──独立出版由于受经费、发行渠道的限制,“摄影书”对于我们来说或许是一条不错的折衷之路。这是一次尝试,并不代表成功或失败,重要的是,我们去做了。而最实质性的进展是,所有喜欢孙彦初摄影以及关注假杂志已久的人终于有了将喜欢的摄影作品拿在手上观看并据为己有的可能。这是“假杂志出版计划”的第一本摄影书,并且,很荣幸的,也是孙彦初的首本正式发行的摄影集,更是他多年来拍摄“OBSESSED”系列的一个终点,无论他之后的摄影之路如何继续,我相信这都将是一本极具纪念价值的摄影书。

《OBSESSED》采用品诺特种纸,进口油墨印刷,无国内印刷品惯有的异味(这是我最满意的一点),限量500本,内附57×84cm大海报。80元(且含邮费),对于这样一本摄影书来讲贵么?关注假杂志多年的你,不妨来一本吧?点击进入淘宝购买页面,如有编号要求请与客服说明。

OBSESSED, photographs by Sun Yanchu 2004-2011, is the first photo book published by Jiazazhi Publish Project (J.P.P.). If you would like to buy one, please mail us to jiazazhi@gmail.com for more inquiries. More informations on jiazazhi.com.

Charlie Crane

如何拍出一个真实的朝鲜,来自英国的摄影师 Charlie Crane 的答案是拍摄那些他们想要你看到的东西。如果没有条件去拍摄内在的东西,那么外在的东西就成了唯一的线索。再完美的掩饰,也能在其表面发现内在的感情。朝鲜这个在许多西方人心目中神秘闭塞的国家,在摄影师的照片中还是透露出了那些我们熟悉的人性的东西,高压的政治环境,最终还是掩埋不了人性中的那一点光芒。

These images are selected from British photographer Charlie Crane‘s “Welcome to Pyongyang” project.

Alec Soth说,与作家Lester B. Morrison合作,由Steidl出版的《Broken Manual》是他迄今为止做过的最不一样的摄影书。本书限量300本,而且本本都装在手工切割好的另外一本书中。这是一本为那些试图逃离现实的男人准备的“地下生活指南”。

Alec Soth said, Broken Manual, worked with the writer Lester B. Morrison, published by Steidl, representing a significant departure from his previous publications. Each of the 300 copies of the book is housed inside of another, one-of-a-kind book. The book created an underground instruction manual for men looking to escape their lives.

故事(十一) STORY 11 by photographer Zhu Fan

 

几个月前偶然在豆瓣见到友邻推荐朱帆的相册,我点开链接后一口气看到最后一张,看完之后我便和他取得联系。照片的内容也没有办法用一个词语概括,画面吸引我的就是平淡,没有强烈的对比,更不会有硬生生的幽默。前几周某一日又很偶然的点击了他的博客,看到他的《归乡》系列。一张张照片很像是多年前我回了一趟家乡,去赴亲人的一场葬礼仪式,然后走出一条和照片中一样的山路,一路上和家人什么话也没说。之后朱帆便和我分享了《归乡》系列的故事,收到他发来的故事时,我还是一个字也没有停的看到最后一个字。

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.
