观念摄影中的建筑——建筑物作为摄影艺术中的意象载体

Architecture in Conceptual Photography:Architecture as Image Carrier in Photography Art

建筑在摄影作品中的出现由来已久,人类摄影史上第一张照片《窗子里的风景》中尼埃普斯便使建筑物体占据画面的大部分,比摄影术真正宣布诞生的时间还要早上十二年。时至今日摄影门类中也已有专门为建筑物服务的摄影类型。而在观念性的摄影创作中建筑也常常作为艺术家们选择的对象,将自己的态度与观点隐含在建筑物之中并通过摄影使其对象化。德国摄影家贝歇夫妇,日本摄影家杉本博司,中国摄影家姚璐等人的摄影作品均以建筑作为创作对象使作品被纳入到现代艺术的范畴并获得认可。文章以上述三者为例,旨在以艺术家们的不同风格,多角度探究建筑之于观念摄影的位置。试图阐释建筑之所以为艺术摄影创作者所喜爱的表现对象的原因与目的。

Architecture has been in photography for a long time.In the first photograph in the history of human photography,A View from a Window,Nièpce made architectural objects occupy most of the picture,12 years before the birth of photography was actually announced.Up to now,there is a category of photography dedicated to buildings.In conceptual photography,architecture is often the object chosen by artists,who hide their attitudes and views in buildings and make them objectified through photography.German photographers Becher and his wife,Japanese photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto,Chinese photographer Yao Lu and others all took architecture as the creation object,which brought their works into the category of modern art and won recognition.Taking the above three as examples,this paper aims to explore the position of architecture in conceptual photography from various angles based on the different styles of artists.This paper tries to explain the reason and purpose why architecture is the preferred object of artistic photography.
