高重黎 KAO Chung-Li
Artist
高重黎,他的作品檢視歷史和個人生平的關係,以及時間、影像和媒體的關係。他不僅是攝影師,也收集歷史照片,同時是影片和動畫創作者、媒體的考掘者。藝術家表示:「拍攝時是對現實的中止,放映時是對幻覺的終止。」對他而言,幻燈片秀特別能保有存在於影像、時間和靜止之間的張力 — 它位於幻想和現實之外的界域,同時納入了攝影作為過去事件印記的性質,以及電影式時間和敘事勾起的期望(expectancy)。
KAO Chung-Li’s work investigates the relationship between history and personal biography, between time, images, and media. He is a photographer and a collector of historical pictures as well as a filmmaker, animator, and media-archeologist. “Taking a picture means an interruption of reality. Showing that picture means a cessation of fantasy,” states the artist. For him, the slideshow in particular sustains a tension between image, time, and stillness — and is situated beyond fantasy and reality, subsuming both photography’s indexical relation to past events, and the expectancy evoked by cinematic time and storytelling.
