受到西方当代风景摄影,尤其是美国“新地形学”(New Topographic)的影响,风景逐渐成为当代中国摄影中不可或缺的主题。从海岸线到长江、从国道到长城,这些与权力、记忆以及身份认同紧密相连的自然/人造风景一再成为被中国当代艺术家通过影像再现的焦点。

讲座将从风景在中国当代摄影中的表现手法和方法论入手,介绍和分析风景是如何被当代中国摄影师所观看、阐释,并同迅速变革之下的中国所联系到一起的。与此同时,讲座还将针对中西方风景艺术的传统进行简要的对比,探索风景作为中国当代摄影主题所区别于西方摄影的特征。最后,我们将探讨中国当代风景摄影实践中所存在的问题,以及造成这些缺陷的原因。

Influenced by the contemporary landscape photography in the West, especially the American New Topographic, landscape has gradually become an indispensible subject in contemporary Chinese Photography. From the Chinese coastline to the Yangtze River, from national highways to the Great Wall, those natural/ artificial landscapes closely related to power, memory and identity have always been the focus represented through photography by Chinese artists.

The lecture will start by presenting the method and methodology of landscape in Chinese contemporary photography. It will introduce and analyze how landscape is observed and interpreted by contemporary Chinese photographers, and how is it connected with the fast-changing Chinese reality. At the same time, the lecture will compare Chinese and western landscape traditions, and explore the different characteristics in landscape as a subject in both Chinese and Western photography. At last, it will discuss problems existing in contemporary Chinese landscape practice and their causes.
