1月16日开始,
第25届伦敦艺博会(London Art Fair)在伦敦北部伊斯灵顿的商业设计中心正式对外开放。本届艺博会集合了来自全英国及世界其他国家的131家画廊,是历史上规模最大的一届。除了主展区外,还特别开设“Photo 50”和“Art Projects”两个分展区。
“Photo 50”展区展示了由Paradise Row画廊总裁Nick Hackworth策展的“循环的诗”(A Cyclical Poem)摄影展。8位摄影家拍摄的50幅经典照片汇聚其中,涵盖了当代摄影及Homer Sykes、Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen等摄影家七、八十年代作品。
摄影与历史有着不可分割的关联,每张照片都凝固了那一刻的影像,也成为了历史的见证。“循环的诗”借以影像探讨了摄影、时间和记忆之间的三者微妙关系。
