兩位業餘攝影愛好者不合時宜的工具

攝影並文：林博彥 & 黃承聰 Photographers: Lin Bo Yan & Huang Cheng Cong

數碼攝影令影像的生產更大眾化和民主化。但隨著相機的操作變得自動和直覺化，對使用者而言，工具的運作原理，其潛在預設的規則變得愈加隱蔽。而圖像被加諸語義的過程中，相機扮演的角色至關重要：相機是被預設去製造某類影像的，而每一張照片只是實現了預設的一種可能。

當我們放棄了解和批判製作影像背後的規則和限制，那麼看似讓攝影變得更自由的科技，其實可能限制了新的敘事方式的產生。我們嘗試從製造影像的工具、方法和過程入手，去解構和反思攝影的根本元素。作品裡使用看似古老的技術：這不是出於懷舊，而是因其靈活性更能闡述相機在拍照時扮演的角色。我們嘗試挪用和顛覆說明書中的影像語言：扮演著相機的操作者，看起來在示範工具的正確使用方法，但實際卻入侵了設備，賦予它們新的功能。

林博彥與黃承聰，是以雕塑、裝置、行為為媒介，針對攝影本體的研究為題材的藝術組合。他們的藝術實踐以圖像的生產過程為重點，尤其對過程中衍生出的敘事和意義有強烈的興趣。在他們的作品中，他們以自創的攝影發明物和圖像生產方式，嘗試從內解構從工具、行為、生產過程到傳播的各個環節。已被淘汰的攝影技術和日常的生活物件被重新創造和革新，攝影里被視為當然的習慣被推至極端與荒謬，直至瓦解，以尋求超越畫面表面的另外意義。

Digital photography makes the production of images more popular and democratized. But as the operation of the camera becomes automatic and intuitive, for the user, the principle of the operation of the tool, the potential of the default rules become more hidden. And the image is added to the semantic process, the role of the camera plays a crucial role: the camera is preset to create a certain type of image, and each photo is only a possible realization of the default.

When we give up understanding and criticism of the rules and limitations behind the production of images, then seemingly let photography become more free technology, in fact, may limit the emergence of new narrative. We try to create the image from the tools, methods and processes to start, to deconstruct and reflect the fundamental elements of photography. Works use the seemingly ancient technology: this is not out of nostalgia, but because of its flexibility to describe the camera in the camera when the role played. We try to misappropriate and subvert the image language in the specification: the operator who plays the camera, looks like the correct use of the demo tool, but actually invades the device and gives them new functionality.

Lin Boyan and Huang Chengcong, is based on sculpture, installation, behavior as the media, for the study of photography ontology as the theme of the art portfolio. Their artistic practice focuses on the image production process, especially with respect to the narrative and meaning derived from the process. In their works, they try their own from the tools, behavior, production process to the transmission of all aspects of their own photographic inventions and image production. The photographic techniques that have been phased out and the daily living objects have been recreated and innovated, and photography has been regarded as the natural habit of being pushed to extreme and absurd until the collapse of the meaning of seeking beyond the surface of the picture.
