安琪个展
文/钟林春
对南方人，“煤”是一个耳熟，而终究不怎么打交道的存在。同为能源、天然气或柴火等，更朝夕相见。
但对安琪，一个生于八十年代的山西人，煤块是他从小玩到大的。处身煤海之中，家族里，乃至同城，多的是数代皆依煤而生的人。他说，对煤，有一种与生俱来的情感，亦试图去更深切的理解它。以此，又及对摄影的热爱，他一度拍摄了多个与煤有关的系列。
他拍过近四年的矿工，从井口、工作面、通风区、选煤厂、后勤保障、采煤沉陷区，矿工及家属，乃至父辈、祖父辈的口述老照片、地方文献等种种切入。以此，他积累了大量的照片，但这背后的庞杂，却不是一时可尽讲述的。虽然如此，这一番探寻，并不枉费。由繁而简，他决定更多的将心力，对准在交织出这一切的煤块上。
从日光，到植物，再到煤炭，复化为灰烬，因缘而生，因缘而灭。作为一种物，煤本身，终归是中性的。不同的，是这个时代的人心，又及附着在上的欲望，和百千万人的生活与命运。多少城依之而兴，而衰，多少人依之而活一生，乃至一度是国家之经济命脉。
我们或不与煤有多少交集，但一切令人疯狂执爱之物，如近十来年的房子、股票，荷兰人曾经的郁金香，种种，背后引发的人心，似否？不怪世人称煤，有叫“黑色的钻石”。
这次展中，安琪拍的煤块肖像，不过百千万亿的煤之中，极微少的几块而已。但微尘世界，五色幻化，仍不妨供世人一参。譬如，煤有如此大的能量，它的光，可曾照破人的无明？不知，以一切原需要的，仍是人们如何更多地自观其心。

Introduction
Text / Zhong Linchun
For Chinese southerners, coal is a familiar but never experienced thing. When talking about energies, we are more intimate with natural gas or firewoods.
But for An Qi, who was born in 1980s in Shanxi, coal blocks are his childhood toys. surrounded by coal mines, his family and even most people in his city heavily rely on the coal industry. He said that he had a special inbred complex on coals, and he tried to comprehend them. In addition with his passion on photography, he once shot several series in relation to coal.
He spent four years in shooting coal mines, covering various aspects: the entrance of coal mines, working surface, vents of mines, coal preparation plants, logistics supports, subsidence area, miners and their families, even dictations and pictures from old generations. Consequently, he accumulated a vast number of pictures, but the intricacy behind them is too difficult to demonstrate in short. The endeavor of this exploration is still worthy. He eventually decided to concentrate on the essence of those coal blocks.
Trees receive sunlight and are buried underground to become coal. Finally, they are burned into ashes. These natural illusions are caused by the so-called Karma. As a substance, the coal itself is completely neutral. But what is not neutral is people's minds, their desires and millions of people's life and destiny which attached on it. Cities prospered and declined due to the discovery of coal mine. It has also become the economy lifeline of the country.
Many of us have few connections with coals, but the enthusiasm aroused by obsession, such as estate and stocks, reflects similar human greed and desires. No wonder people tend to call coals " the dark diamonds".
In this exhibition, the portraits of coal blocks only present a few pieces among innumerous of them. But in this world, the illusions of various matters can still be observed by the multitude. For instance, coal possesses such a large amount of energy, but has its light ever enlightened human’s blindness? Or maybe, what we initially need is the capability of introspection?
