戈达尔:电影是一秒二十四帧的真理
图片摄影是这次参展电影摄影家的启蒙艺术钥匙,之后严谨的宏大叙事给予这些艺术家并不宽仁的空间,每个艺术家让这些静止的画面流动起来都经受过无尽的痛苦与欢愉。 这种可以retake的形制,是电影创作天生赋予的巨大压力。在这里所讲的影像,和平面摄影的影像并非一样。平面摄影尽管突破了绘画的具体性问题,但这种单帧的具体也提供了另外的可能:抽象性、诗歌化、标点感。平面摄影的多元化也无法回避:叙事性、情感表达、逻辑阐述等方面精确化的欠缺。即便加入了文本的帮助,重新装置化拍摄等方法的帮助,平面摄影总在某个方面无法独立形成美学表达闭环。未尽之言,在电影里,多有表达。
在叙事层面,电影摄影师们掌握的这个影像叙事的武器,开拓了无比辽阔视觉的疆土,但是也很挑战的是,是否这也是一个“叙事障”?在叙事抒情表意的尽善尽美之外,对摄影的基本文法的抽象性的归纳实用能力,他们是忘却了?是忽略了?是暗中执着的研究坚守着?还是创建了更加独特的视觉风貌?这点,在参展作品之中,会有各种答案。
流动影像的巨大银幕载体并非唯一的舞台。
以前是观众与艺术界未曾关注电影摄影家的工作的重要性,那种超强的综合艺术能力与非常独特的个人视角,并辅以巨大的金钱等资源,他们就创造出了电影中“物质的世界”。那个依靠新闻照片认知世界的时代,在慢慢被由电影或者游戏的视觉创造者更新着,人们脑海中的“世界”,脑海中的“中国”,很大一部分的影像认知,都是由参展的电影摄影家创造出来的。
在静止的图片领域,我看到太多电影摄影师诗歌般的创作。摄影作为艺术,属于每个对影像有独特认知的个体。他们对待影像的态度,也更多的被社会观念与当代价值考验过。这次的展览,如同阅读长篇小说作家的短篇诗集。

"The cinema is truth 24 times per second." ——Jean-Luc Godard
Still photography is the key to artistic inspiration for the exhibited cinematographers. The grand narrative landscape in the world of cinema only gives these artists very limited room to explore. Each of them experiences endless pain and pleasure in the process of making the still image move and flow. Within the form of cinematography is an inherent possibility to retake, which brings great pressure to the act of movie-making. The images in this exhibition are different from ordinary photography. Photography solved the issue of concreteness in painting, and the concreteness of single-frame images offers new possibilities to be abstract, poetic, and create a sense of punctuation. Still photography at its most diverse is unable to overcome the scarcity of accurate narration, expression of emotions, or logical explanation etc. Even the addition of text and context in installation cannot create a perfect aesthetic cycle independently. The unexpressed in still photography often finds its route to expression in cinema.
In terms of narration, cinematographers leverage this visual weapon to step into an expansive visual field. But the challenge remains: is this yet another "narrative barrier"? Beyond the perfection achieved in narration and expression, what about the basic grammar and analytical capability of abstraction in photography? Did we forget or ignore them? Or do we still stick to them subconsciously? Are we using them to create a more unique visual style? The works exhibited here offer a few different perspectives on these questions.
The big screen is not the only platform for moving image.
So often the importance of the cinematographer's work has been over looked by both audiences and artists alike. Their well-rounded artistic abilities and unique individual perspective, empowered by capital investment, have enabled cinematographers to create the "material world" of cinema. The time wherein people's understanding of the world and China has been shaped principally by journalism and the news is slowly being transformed and replaced by a worldview presented by creatives 262 in cinema and the gaming industry. The "world", and specifically "China", as shown in this exhibition, are seen through the eyes of cinematographers.
In the field of still photography, we've seen plenty of poetic creations from cinematographers. Photography as an art form belongs to anyone who has their own unique understanding of the image. That understanding is, in turn, tested by societal influences and modern values. To further extend the author metaphor, this exhibition is a selection of short poems taken from the collective works of novelists.
