一个由‘失误’引起的记忆的残缺
苏珊·桑塔格说‘当我们怀旧时，我们便拍照。’
但在这照片中，摄影师的朋友们被闪光灯与快门造成的‘失误’下变得难以分辨，所得见的是残缺的片段。完整的照片是残酷的，它告诉我们所有的细节，消灭了我们的想象，而这失误下的照片似乎更像是人的记忆，模糊了所有的形象，最后组成它的不过是一个个符号。我们怀念的变成自己的影子。
但，这算是失误么？摄影早已独立为一种艺术，相机不仅是一个记录与提供证据的工具，而成为了一种值得把玩的乐器；或明或暗的‘失误’造成的技术与审美上的多意，不正是它发出不绝于耳之乐声么？
不过终归摄影是沉默，还是把这欲言之词，欲奏之音，还是让它们再回到摄影的沉默之中去罢。
There is a memory loss caused by a ‘mistake’.
“…when we are nostalgic, we take pictures.” says Susan Sontag.
In these images, the photographer’s friends are hard to identify because of the ‘mistake’ made by the flash and the shutter; the only thing we can see are the incomplete fragments. A perfect photo is kind of cruel, revealing all the details
but destroying our imagination. However such ‘mistaken’ images are more like human memory, blurred by the shape, composed of nothing but symbols and codes. And this memory in the end will become the nostalgic of our shadow.
But, is this really a mistake? Photography has long been a art form, and the camera is not only used to provide the evidence, but also considered to be something like a instrument that overtly or covertly creates the multi-meaning
of technology and aesthetics. Is it the gorgeous music from the camera?
Anyway, photography is silent, let’s put all the conversation and music back to that silent.
