醒芷笔记:
脑洞这东西,没有最大,只有更大。
Gary Emrich把透明塑料泡罩包装和矿泉水瓶包装纸一起放在透写台上,给塑料凹槽处倒满水,然后使用大画幅相机拍摄上述组合,以此颠倒人们购买的商品(矿泉水、水瓶及包装)的价值,将垃圾转为欲望和美的对象。他认为矿泉水瓶包装纸印着的蓝天绿树雪山,营销的是大自然的一种纯净形象,但其实却制造了与之相悖的污染性垃圾。
我最初是被他拍摄的照片的酷炫视觉效果吸引,读了作品陈述才知道,他的创作初衷多么耐人寻味。作为商品的水是他二十多年来的艺术实践的主题,在他的不同作品里有不同方面的体现,往往由矿泉水包装纸串联。
我还特别欣赏他结合了摄影与拾得之物的混合媒介作品,仿佛让从生活中被剥离的图像又妙趣横生地回归了生活。
