这个空虚的世界尼克·勃兰特(Nick Brandt)的新专著,以一系列戏剧性上演的照片为特色,这些照片以一种情感上强大的电影方式,将东非的动物和人民聚集在一起,揭示了他们是环境退化的受害者。 第一次进入彩色摄影领域,这部作品既是一个技术上的尝试,也是一个雄心勃勃的项目,在这个项目中,布景是以大型电影制作中常见的规模建造的。每张全景图像都是两个时间瞬间的组合,几乎所有这些瞬间都是在距离完全相同的相机位置数周之外拍摄的。 勃兰特首先构建并点亮一个局部场景,然后等待居住在该区域的动物进入画面。一旦被机捕捉到,整套系统就建立在机保持固定不动的情况下。布景包括桥梁和公路建筑工地、一个加油站、一个汽车站,甚至还有一片死森林。勃兰特用从当地社区抽调的庞大演员阵容完成了这一幕,然后拍摄了第二个片段。最终的大型版画是两个错综复杂的元素的组合。 从整体上看,这些图像生动地说明了一个世界,在这个世界上,由于失控的人类发展,动物不再有生存的空间,并提出了一个问题:当我们被剥夺了自然奇观时,我们将生活在一个什么样的世界。 This Empty World Nick Brandt’s new monograph
features a series of dramatically staged photographs that bring together and reveal the animals and people of East Africa as the victims of environmental degradation in an emotionally powerful cinematic way. Moving into colour photography for the first time
the work is both a technical tour-de-force and a massively ambitious project in which the sets are constructed on a scale typically seen in major film production. Each panoramic image is a combination of two moments in time almost all of them captured weeks apart from the exact same camera position. Brandt first builds and lights a partial set
then waits for the animals that inhabit the region to enter the frame. Once captured on camera the full set is built with the camera remaining fixed in place. The sets include bridge and highway construction sites a petrol station a bus station and even a dead forest. Completing the scene with a huge cast drawn from local communities Brandt then photographs the second sequence. The final large scale prints are a composite of the two intricately plotted elements.Viewed as a whole the images vividly illustrate a world in which overwhelmed by runaway human development there is no longer space for animals to survive and beg the question: what kind of world will we live in when stripped of its natural wonders.
