白潔 攝影 碩士預(yù)科

我很幸運(yùn)選擇攝影作為創(chuàng)作道路，它創(chuàng)造了一種藝術(shù)視角能讓我與世界鏈接。我也通過(guò)鏡頭將圖像與其他的媒介相結(jié)合，不僅拓寬了圖像與影像應(yīng)用的方向，也探索了展呈方式在其中發(fā)揮到的重要作用。

在我的作品《星元街》，我使用多種媒介制作了一本手工書，通過(guò)影像的記錄與實(shí)質(zhì)性的材質(zhì)們的互相融合碰撞，我努力創(chuàng)造對(duì)我逝去的父親的立體回憶。在《雙重房間》中，通過(guò)記錄我與我雙胞胎姐姐的圖像作品，來(lái)表達(dá)與思考雙胞胎的固有個(gè)性與多樣性的可能?！渡眢w發(fā)膚》是我國(guó)傳統(tǒng)成語(yǔ)，意味著對(duì)自身身體的珍視，我以這個(gè)名字命名一組邀請(qǐng)?jiān)S多曾經(jīng)跟我一樣有身體羞恥感的素人模特進(jìn)行拍攝。通過(guò)與他們的交流與作品的呈現(xiàn)來(lái)尋找他們心中美與丑的邊界，以及我們這個(gè)社會(huì)對(duì)于美與丑的定義。天津是我學(xué)習(xí)生活了若干年的城市，它代表著許多中國(guó)二、三線城市，在全球化與中產(chǎn)化的潮流中漂流。其歷史文化與快速現(xiàn)代化之間形成的鮮明的對(duì)比，在《噪音中的寂靜》作品中，我重點(diǎn)觀察它的混沌與美麗交織的氣息。

我創(chuàng)作的個(gè)系列主題包括廣泛性的社會(huì)問(wèn)題，比如女性權(quán)利、消費(fèi)注意和城市文化。對(duì)于這些問(wèn)題的批判性思考，并令人鼓舞的引起了社會(huì)大眾的積極反思。

因此我認(rèn)為通過(guò)圖像、影像所表達(dá)的社會(huì)與政治問(wèn)題，其背后是當(dāng)代藝術(shù)激發(fā)討論與思考而對(duì)社會(huì)做出的貢獻(xiàn)。

Photography

I am fortunate to study Photography, a medium that allows me to appreciate and engage with the world through the artistic lens. My intense interest lies in integrating photography with other mediums, exploring its practical applications, and engaging in contemporary curation.

In my piece Xingyuan Street, I created a handmade book using various mediums, merging recorded images with tangible materials to create a multidimensional memory of my late father. In "Double Room," I captured images of myself and my twin sister to express and contemplate the inherent individuality and diversity of twins. Inspired by the Chinese idiom "Shen Ti Fa Fu," which emphasises self-care, I named a collection in which I invited non-models who, like me, struggled with body shame to explore societal definitions of beauty and ugliness.

Tianjin, a city where I lived and studied for many years, represents many second and third-tier cities in China that are adrift in the currents of globalization and middle-class development. The stark contrast between its historical culture and rapid modernization is the focus of my work Silence amidst Noise, which observes the chaotic yet beautiful intertwining of the two.

My self-initiated projects address a wide range of social issues, including women’s rights, consumerism, and urban cultures. It is encouraging to engage in constructive criticism of social issues in order to stimulate reflection and encourage positive change.

I believe that by expressing social and political issues through images and videos, contemporary art can stimulate discussion and contribute to our society.
