青年影像｜两位业余摄影爱好者不合时宜的工具

摄影并文：林博彦 & 黄承聪 Photographers: Lin Bo Yan & Huang Cheng Cong

数码摄影令影像的生产更大众化和民主化。但随着相机的操作变得自动和直觉化，对使用者而言，工具的运作原理，其潜在预设的规则变得愈加隐蔽。而图像被加诸语义的过程中，相机扮演的角色至关重要：相机是被预设去制造某类影像的，而每一张照片只是实现了预设的一种可能。

当我们放弃了解和批判制作影像背后的规则和限制，那么看似让摄影变得更自由的科技，其实可能限制了新的叙事方式的产生。我们尝试从制造影像的工具、方法和过程入手，去解构和反思摄影的根本元素。作品里使用看似古老的技术：这不是出于怀旧，而是因其灵活性更能阐述相机在拍照时扮演的角色。我们尝试挪用和颠覆说明书中的影像语言：扮演着相机的操作者，看起来在示范工具的正确使用方法，但实际却入侵了设备，赋予它们新的功能。

林博彦与黄承聪，是以雕塑、装置、行为为媒介，针对摄影本体的研究为题材的艺术组合。他们的艺术实践以图像的生产过程为重点，尤其对过程中衍生出的叙事和意义有强烈的兴趣。在他们的作品中，他们以自创的摄影发明物和图像生产方式，尝试从内解构从工具、行为、生产过程到传播的各个环节。已被淘汰的摄影技术和日常的生活物件被重新创造和革新，摄影里被视为当然的习惯被推至极端与荒谬，直至瓦解，以寻求超越画面表面的另外意义。

Digital photography makes the production of images more popular and democratized. But as the operation of the camera becomes automatic and intuitive, for the user, the principle of the operation of the tool, the potential of the default rules become more hidden. And the image is added to the semantic process, the role of the camera plays a crucial role: the camera is preset to create a certain type of image, and each photo is only a possible realization of the default.

When we give up understanding and criticism of the rules and limitations behind the production of images, then seemingly let photography become more free technology, in fact, may limit the emergence of new narrative. We try to create the image from the tools, methods and processes to start, to deconstruct and reflect the fundamental elements of photography. Works use the seemingly ancient technology: this is not out of nostalgia, but because of its flexibility to describe the camera in the camera when the role played. We try to misappropriate and subvert the image language in the specification: the operator who plays the camera, looks like the correct use of the demo tool, but actually invades the device and gives them new functionality.

Lin Boyan and Huang Chengcong, is based on sculpture, installation, behavior as the media, for the study of photography ontology as the theme of the art portfolio. Their artistic practice focuses on the image production process, especially with respect to the narrative and meaning derived from the process. In their works, they try their own from the tools, behavior, production process to the transmission of all aspects of their own photographic inventions and image production. The photographic techniques that have been phased out and the daily living objects have been recreated and innovated, and photography has been regarded as the natural habit of being pushed to extreme and absurd until the collapse of the meaning of seeking beyond the surface of the picture.
