在天堂之下--秦偉紀實攝影展

開幕:2012年4月8日(星期日) 下午四時正
Opening: 8/4/2012(Sun) 4PM
在芸芸眾多的攝影風格當中,紀實攝影可算是鑲 嵌著現實生活中的影像文學。紀實攝影具有深遠意義的地方是讓我們在潛藏在內心深處的生命議題激活起來,讓我們重新思考重新探索。
自九十年代起,攝影師秦偉開始以6×6中幅度 開展其個人拍攝工作,背著相機遊走於亞洲不同地區,以人道主義的目光,觀察著這個變動中的世界,探索存在的意義。
是次由牛房倉庫介紹秦的近期作品「在天堂之 下」,作品以史詩般的影像語言晦暗地細述生活在菲律賓的弱勢群體,在別無選擇之下無奈地生活在墓穴中宿命的人生。作品並曾獲2011年度人權新聞圖片大 獎。

Once this gate is opened, the collapse of civilization is unfolding before one’s eyes: pictures of the Philippines suffering cultural and social damages inflicted by colonialism, Cambodia in abject, grinding poverty, and Iran in a turmoil of frequent coups d’état. These pictures combine to illustrate a map of Asian countries left with persistent scars.
The photographer vividly portrays in documentary form the current situation of vulnerable groups in the Philippines. This image is also his inner monologue about mundane matters, showing a calm and peaceful photographic language that holds a subliminal and implicit appeal. In 2011, this work was a prizewinner in the photojournalism category in Hong Kong’s Annual Human Rights Press Awards.
