摘要
The binding of women's feet, a turies-long practice that ended early last century, began during the reign of Emperor Li Yu (937-978). Chen Xiaoxuan, now 28, is a graduate of the Central Academy of Fine Arts (located in Beijing). As he prepared to make a video documentary, as his thesis, Chen spent the past two years taking photos of, and filming interviews with, some of the last remaining Chinese women whose feet were bound. Most of those women lived in remote areas of eastern China's Shandong Province.
关于中国妇女缠足的起源众说纷纭,一说始于南唐后主李煜。缠足习俗在近代被废止至今,经历了百年。在青年艺术家陈霄翱看来,缠足带给妇女的不仅仅是身体上的伤害,更是对她们心灵的束缚与摧残。他用近两年的时间走访了200多个村庄,通过镜头记录中国最后—代缠足老人的生活。
