寫實卻抽像 現實中的虛幻世界
現代社會中,人們每天不斷重複著雷同卻又有著微小差異的生活 。
社會急速地現代化,一切講求效率 、快速 、精準 。重複大量生產製造能使越來越好的社會中,個體間的差異、特質、 多元性漸漸被抹平。為了消費和生活 ,日復一日,同樣的一群人在相同的時間、被運往相同的地點、打卡上班做著雷同的事情,下班後,再被運往一棟棟整齊劃一容納量的大樓公寓住宅;為了更有效率地利用有限的土地 、擴充更多的容納量,所以不斷建設拆遷,生活環境樣貌持續快速改變,人們也習慣於這種鋼筋水泥的無機構成,卻不斷有機新陳代謝的城市地景。 在體制裡追逐著遊戲規則的過程中,生活快速且慣性的重複著,盲從著主流價值的腳步,我們很容易忘了自己是誰、在哪裡、在做什麼,現實生活像是一場醒不過來的夢境。
觀察這樣的社會機制並模擬人們的生活律動,攝影師也每天在相同的時間、回到同樣的地點、在同樣的位置以相同的構圖方式按下一次快門,日日夜夜累積在同一張底片上來完成重複曝光的創作。在這個機器複製的時代裡,以寫真但抽象的方式,描繪現實裡的虛幻世界。
This series of photos depicts the everyday life in the modern world - repetitive, routine, yet with slight differences.
The invention of steam engine and locomotive greatly accelerated the Industrial Revolution. Mechanical transportation networks were developed to efficiently distribute freights and to commute. These technologies were the fundamental factors to the emergence of capitalism and globalization. Ever since, the world had hastened its pace and never looked back. Whilethe mainstream modern societal values have emphasized efficiency, productivity and capital accumulation, people are constantly regarded as small components in a big machine. With the increasing pace and the repetitive routines in our daily lives, we do what everyone else does, we think like everyone else thinks; we’ve lost ourselves in the immense system, not being aware of who we really are. As the identity and diversity between individuals gradually fade, life seems rather like an unawakened dream.
Observing the mechanism of this system, I also place myself into a repetitive rhythm: every single day at the same time, I go back to the same spot in the same train station. With the same framing, I limit myself to one exposure per day, on the exact same piece of film; accumulating day after day, to complete one single multiexposure photograph.
The Artist Hao LI photograph the scenes that people encounter everyday to create these abstract yet photographic images, illustrating the illusional world underneath layers of reality.
