艺术家如何在政治上激进？-陆兴华讲稿-胡志明小道
July 10, 1pm, 2010 Symposium
Symposium Topic: The Manifestation of the “Self and Other” in Portrait Photography (Provisional)
I have accumulated photographs for many years and created a cache of images of all kinds of groups of people. Through the overlapping exposure of a large number of these negatives, I create special portrait images. Looking closely at the history of Japanese photography, we can see that, in addition to myself, Ken Ohara, Bishin Jumonji, and Keizo Kitajima have also devoted themselves to taking portraits and continuing to gaze intently at the existences of others. Lead by the vanguard of Yasumasa Morimura, a tradition of photographers who take self-portrait images has also been lovingly passed down to us.
In China, RongRong and inri collaborate as photographers, using “us” as a creative subject. There are very rich and deep possibilities for two people and family time and stories. I was very moved, far beyond my expectations, because this kind of photographer is not often seen in Japan. However, in the short time I have been in China, I have discovered that artists that see the world from the perspective of “us” are more numerous here than in Japan. I am under the impression that they are not restrained to photographic expression.
Japanese portraits dealing with “self and other” show that, in this globalized present, the universal question of “Who am I?” has become even more profound. Similarly, the conversion of the value of quality into the value of quantity began to appear very early in art history. I think that this is closely related to exhibitions that feature a big theme, oversized artworks and are produced on a large-scale. Chinese art is representative of this trend.
I think that an exchange of opinions between Japanese and Chinese experts about portrait images, centering on the topic of “self and other,” will truly be meaningful.
