艾琳·孔最为知名的摄影作品《看不见的城市》诠释了世界各地城市中宏伟不朽的建筑物。作品中，建筑物仿佛是从黑暗中浮现出来的一般。不管是罗马、纽约，还是布宜诺斯艾利斯和莫斯科的标志性建筑物，都只有建筑物本身梦幻般地悬在空中，清晰可见。“在那些虔诚的、没有任何建筑或工程学基础的人眼中，艾琳的大教堂变成了天国神圣的宫殿。

Irene Kung is best known for her photographs of monumental architecture from cities around the world emerging from the dark. The symbols of Rome, New York, Buenos Aires, Moscow, are suspended in a dream-like state where only the architecture is visible. “In her photos, cathedrals become the heavenly palaces they must have seemed to the faithful who knew nothing of architecture and structural engineering."

这些纪念碑般的地标建筑物特色鲜明，将这个世界不断抬升，渐渐进入无意识的领域。当建筑摆脱含义与目的的束缚，便犹如虫蛹蜕去干硬的外壳，成为奇妙非常的抽象体。”（弗朗辛·普罗斯，2013年）

Monuments retain their identity and their geographical location, and yet in the process of leaving the earth to float upward into the unconscious, they shed the dry husks of culture and of purpose to become wondrous abstractions” (Francine Prose, 2013)

自21世纪10年代初以来，艾琳将关注点转到了自然和树木。用这位艺术家自己的话说：“我的拍摄是尽可能地将树木还原为我感受到的样子。我的拍摄过程是：去除背景中不必要的杂物，只为凸显树木本身的样子，这也是我感受到的样子。是一种直观的感受，而非理性的记录，因为理性会误导观众，而感性不会。”

Since the beginning of the 2010s, her focus has shifted toward Nature and trees. In the artist’s words: “In my way of working it is possible to reinstate the tree to what I felt. That is exactly what I do with my work: I remove everything unessential in order to show the tree as it is, as I feel it. It is intuition, it is irrational: rationality can be misleading, sentiment cannot.

瑞士艺术家艾琳-孔 (Irene Kung) 从现代技术的高度开始：一台具有超高分辨率的数码相机。这产生了具有精致细节的巨大电子文件，她在软件中对其进行处理，然后用来生成照片底片。从那里，真正的乐趣开始了.”

Irene Kung, a Swiss artist, begins with the height of modern technology: a digital camera with exceptional resolution. That yields enormous electronic files with exquisite detail, which she manipulates in software and then uses to generate photo negatives. From there, the real fun begins.

Irene kung 是一位瑞士摄影师，她作为画家开始了自己的职业生涯并取得了成功。最近几年，她将精力集中于摄影事业。她曾拍摄过一些城市和建筑，在此过程中她设法捕捉一些肉眼不易察觉的细节。2011年秋天，她在中国进行了为期一个月的旅行，本次展览作品摄于旅途中，她以一种梦幻般的视角再现中国标志性城市和建筑，此图为山西平遥。

Irene kung is a Swiss photographer who started her career as a painter and achieved success. In recent years she has concentrated her efforts on her photographic career. She has photographed cities and buildings, in the process managing to capture details that are not readily apparent to the naked eye, and in the autumn of 2011 she travelled for a month in China, during which the works in this exhibition were taken, giving her a dreamy version of iconic Chinese cities and buildings, in this case Pingyao, Shanxi.
