观火:见证与叙事

策展人:朱雅楠

 

展览时间:2023年2月24日-4月15日

地址:中间美术馆1层,北京市海淀区杏石口路50号

 

第十期“中间实践”的展览书籍来自意大利西西里巴勒莫的89books,这是由意大利摄影师⽑罗·达加蒂(Mauro D’Agati)与乌克兰策展⼈卡特林娜·菲柳克(Kateryna Filyuk)于2018年创立的独立出版社。89books致力于发现、尝试出版多种形式和内容的艺术家书、限量摄影书。该出版社同时发起驻留计划,邀请艺术家完成个人书籍项目,或围绕巴勒莫城市产出一系列强调在地性的创作笔记。本次展览一共选取了其中24本出版物,特别是以战争与边缘的生存状态为主题的摄影书,凸显了摄影这一创作媒介,以及摄影出版这一实践,见证多面的现实和为历史叙事留痕的潜质。

 

中国有关西西里这一地区最早的记载源自南宋赵汝适所作《诸蕃志》:“斯加里野国……海屿阔一千里……有山穴至深,四季出火,远望则朝烟暮火,近观则火势烈甚……。”此次展览以“观火”为题,既来自古代中国对于西西里的描述和想象,也指我们借用观看摄影和阅读出版,渴求和向往受到刺激的唤醒,又不禁畏惧于行动或使自己真正置身于危险之地的矛盾心理。

 

《天堂是和你呆在一起的地方》,加布里埃尔·阿隆吉

HEAVEN IS A PLACE ON EARTH WITH YOU, Gabriele Alongi

 

我们将24本书籍分为两个章节进行呈现。第一个主题为“洞若观火”,主要展示内容为摄影师镜头里的当代欧洲、北美和澳大利亚的人文景观,艺术家们在巴勒莫开展在地研究之后创作的摄影集,或在西班牙、阿根廷等地的旅行影记。万里以外的事物清晰地被镜头所抓捕,接受我们的凝视。经过编辑梳理后,图片与图片之间建立起一定的叙事,为观者把握远方的风貌提供了一种路径。第二个主题为“隔岸观火”,旨在思考摄影的见证与叙事功能所具有的现实意义。我们借用这些创作,思考区域性问题反映全球性问题的可能,也尝试就部分摄影书中所反映的战争、难民、精神病患犯罪安置策略、酷儿等迫在眉睫的议题进行物伤其类的反思。

 

《秘密历史:模拟战争的三十二张照片》,吉安尼·梅洛蒂

The Secret History of Thirty-Two Photos of Mock War, Gianni Melotti

 

《战争》,奥列克桑德·格利亚杰洛夫,2014年—2022年

WAR, Oleksandr Glyadelov, 2014-2022

 

面对摄影书中艺术家通过镜头和图像所展现的风景、战火、灾难、人类的困顿与种种不堪,我们被其所吸引;也深感不安,一旦靠近镜头中的真实,我们或许将被烈火吞噬。其实“隔岸观火”在高度全球化的今天早已只是远古的传说。殊不知,你就是我,我就是你。

 

Firewatching: Witness and Narrative

Curator: Yanan Zhu

 

Dates: 24th February-15th April, 2023

Venue: Beijing Inside-Out Art Museum 1F, No.50, Xingshikou Road, Haidian District, Beijing

 

The tenth Inside-Out Practice exhibition presents the publishing practice of 89books, an independent press in Palermo, Sicily, Italy. Founded in 2018 by Italian photographer Mauro D’Agati and Ukrainian curator Kateryna Filyuk, 89books is committed to the discovery and experimental publication of limited-edition photo books of different forms and contents. The press has also launched the residency program, inviting artists to fine-tune an older project and turn it into a book, or to embark on shooting in Palermo with an emphasis on the locality. This exhibition features 24 volumes of 89books publications, including photography books with the themes of war and marginalized human conditions. We intend to highlight the fact that photography, as a creative medium, alongside the practice of making photography publication, has the power to testify to the multi-faceted reality and thus leave footprints in historical narratives.

 

《女孩比老虎邪恶》,毛罗·达加蒂

Girls are more evil than tigers, Mauro D’Agati

 

The earliest Chinese record of this region of Sicily is from the book Chu-fan-chi, written by Zhao Rushi in the Southern Song Dynasty. As it goes, “Sicilia… with the sea which a thousand miles wide… has a deep cave, and fires come out of it in all seasons. If you see it from afar, smoke and fire abound. If you view it closely, the flame savagely burn…” The title of this exhibition, “Firewatching,” both comes from the literary description and imagination of Sicily in ancient China, also refers to our desire and longing to be awakened by stimulation through photographs and their publications. Yet, there is always an ambivalence that comes along such an impulse. Indeed we are afraid of taking action or putting ourselves in real danger.

 

《苏西等等(第二部分)》,鲍里斯·米哈伊洛夫

Suzi et Cetera (Part 2), Boris Mikhailov

 

We have divided 24 books into two chapters. The first section, titled “Seeing Clearly as Seeing Flames” mainly displays the cultural landscapes of contemporary Europe, North America, and Australia through the artists’ lens, a series of photographs based on research in Palermo, and travel pictures taken by artists in Spain, Argentina and all over the world. Scenes thousands of miles away are captured distinctly by the camera and received by our vision. After editing, a narrative is established between images, giving access for viewers to grasp the distant scenery.

 

The second chapter, titled “Watching Fire from the Other Side,” contemplates the practical significance of the testifying and narrative functions embedded in photography. Departing from these works, we try to deliberate the relevance of specific regional issues to global concerns and reflect on the imminent issues such as war, refugees, criminal resettlement strategies for the mentally ill, and the status of queer considered in some of the photo books.

 

《达加蒂·武契里亚》,毛罗·达加蒂

D’AGATI VUCCIRIA, Mauro D’Agati

 

Faced with the landscape, war, disaster, human dilemma, and all kinds of hardships through photography books, we are fascinated. In the meantime, we are paradoxically worried that once we get close to reality through the lens, we might be engulfed by fire. Watching the fire from the other side of the river has long been an ancient myth in today’s highly globalized world. As we all know, I am you and you are me.
