內容簡介
內容簡介 月光下的鏡頭：英國藝術家Darren Almond的概念攝影作品這本作品輯收錄Darren Almond於世界各地拍攝的260張攝影作品，全都是在月光下拍攝。只要讓快門持續開15分鐘，山川海岸也能像在日光底下一樣清楚，但是氣氛卻很不一樣：就算是陰影也隱隱透著光暈，天空有星星的軌跡，水流如泡沫包覆大地。利用這樣的光線和技巧，景物全都染上了一層超現實的色彩，凝鍊了時間、自然和美的概念。這一系列的照片可說是浪漫主義歌頌的主題以當代手法呈現：美國的山脈、北極的冰原、日本海岸的岩石，當然還有藝術家家鄉英國的自然風光。Darren Almond從21世紀初就開始進行這項攝影計畫，本書全面收集了這一系列的作品，書中還有紐約大都會博物館當代現代藝術部門主任Sheena Wagstaff寫的導論，以及藝評家Brian Dillon寫的深入評析。Lunar lensDarren Almond s nocturnal nature seriesIn Fullmoon, the conceptual meets the poetic: in more than 260 photographs, British artist Darren Almond catches landscapes around the globe, under the particular light of a full moon.With the shutter kept open for over a quarter of an hour, rivers, meadows, mountains, and seashores are illuminated almost like daybreak, but the atmosphere is different: a mild glow emanates even from the shadows, star-lines cross the sky, and water blankets the earth like a misty froth. The enhanced moonlight infuses the landscapes with a sense of the surreal or the sublime, and with haunting ideas of time, nature and beauty.The series circles around the possibility of Romantic themes today: majestic American mountains, austere Arctic ice fields, picturesque rocks by the seashore in Japan, and, most intimately viewed, the nature of Britain, whose painterly subjects are closest to home.This book covers all parts of Almond's fullmoon series from the turn of the century up until today. It features an introduction by Sheena Wagstaff, head of the Modern and Contemporary Art Department of the Metropolitan Museum in New York, and an in-depth essay by writer and critic Brian Dillon.
