更新风景 — 微光闪现中的文化凝视
《更新风景》系列主要为作者自2012旅居亚洲六年延续环境议题的创作脉络，主要拍摄地点为台北 - 上海等城市 ;《 超越平凡 》是作者2018年再次返回欧洲生活，面对环境快速变迁与文化崩坏的冲击与哀伤，其系列创作完成于柏林-巴黎两地历时一年。在此个展中精选展出季勇2017- 2019期间的作品，作为呼应展览主题的探讨。
此双系列作品以当代摄影的视角，结合了英国浪漫主义风景画家威廉·特纳 (William Turner 1775 -1851)，和德裔美国风景画家阿尔伯特·比尔斯塔特(Albert Bierstadt 1830-1902)等著名作品的创作视野。艺术家对绘画和摄影两种媒材的高度掌握，让观众在乍看之下，形成合理的错视画面。
对于艺术家来说，摄影只是绘画的延伸，画面中田园诗般的自然景观，与当代城市景观形成讽刺性的对照，自然融合的画面重塑了我们的感知和审美，诗意地描绘了生态和文化的悲剧。作者向观者不断地发出呼求并向观众提问 - 所有这些滋养艺术的文化遗产都去了哪里？!
在此刻全球按下暂停键之后的重新出发，希望藉此展览引发大众对于自然生态与文化环境的保护与珍惜。

“Updated Landscape”
- Cultural Gaze in Glimmering
“Updated Landscape” is mainly about the environmental issues since Hebert’s six years residency in Asia in 2012. The imageries are from Taipei, Shanghai and other cities in China. “Beyond the Ordinary” is created by Hebert when he moved back to Europe in 2018. Facing the impact and sadness of rapid environmental change and cultural collapse, these series took a year to complete in Berlin and Paris. These two series of works created between 2017 - 2019, as the theme of the exhibition.
Using the perspective of contemporary photography, “Updated Landscape” and “Beyond the Ordinary” combines the works of William Turner (1775-1851) ‘Avernue lake Aeneas and the Cumaei Sibylle’; William Marlow (1740-1813) ‘View of Matlock Bath’; and Cole Thomas (1801-1848) ‘The Course of Empire The Savage State’. Grasping painting and photography enables the audience to form a misperception at first sight.
Photography is just an extension of painting. The idyllic natural landscape in the picture forms a satirical contrast with the contemporary urban landscape. The naturally integrated picture reshapes our perception and aesthetics, and poetically depicts the tragedy of ecology and culture. The work constantly appeals and questions the audience - “Where are all these cultural heritages going?”
At this moment, the global press the pause button to start afresh, hoping that this exhibition will arouse everyone's attention and cherish for the natural ecology and cultural environment.
