蕾.歐帕茲 [ Untitle]

我剛開始是被一種受擾亂的官能障礙所吸引。
這兩張攝影是被安排而成,我創造一個奇幻的空間,那裡因為物件的分散造成一種停止的感覺。

照片是滿溢跟滲透的,超出容器的邊緣,甚至快要滴出來;怪異卻也奇妙,不舒服卻又美麗。作品構圖中在相對立的感知上造成衝突:觀者在這裡面是受到限制的,好像處在一個模糊的空間。

每張攝影照片都像是一個事件,有些事件的美麗都是刻意照料而成的,而人為的痕跡在此些神奇蒸發散去後便慢慢浮現。
在影像的響聲、被運用的抉擇、按照攝影要求的相似客體物件之中,我理見了其豐富性,或許,有些扭曲誤解的類型,但在這些攝影照片表達了事件的聲望值得存疑的片刻。

我攝影作品的存在就像是在電冰箱裡面的燈。



My initial attraction is to dysfunction- a disturbance.
The photographs are staged and in them i create a magical place where the object becomes alienated and a feeling of standstill is achieved.
The photograph is overflowing and saturated, filled to the brim, almost dripping, it is strange and wonderful, repulsive and beautiful. It is composed of clashes between opposite sensations: the viewer is trapped between them as in the twilight zone.
each photograph is an accident, something beautiful that was spoiled, and
when the magic evaporates the artificial lingers on.
I see great richness in the images of the cheep, the choice of used, familiar
objects which demand, perhaps, some sort of perversion and which attain in the photograph a questionable moment of fame.
The existence of my photographs is like the light in the fridge.
