吳旗攝影作品展The Photography of Wu Qi
Daytime Never Understands the Darkness of Night
夜遊蕩而來，光影迷離。潛入夜幕，走進黑夜，完全是一個不同於白天的世界。我的這組作品是我對夜的主觀感受，是一團黑暗中冥想的幻覺，是一個城市夜遊者心緒與黑暗的共振，是一種窺視捕捉心理的宣泄。攝影是我表達這一情感與觀感的方式。
透過朦朧的燈光，詭異的投影，神秘的場景，幽靈般的行人，著意地渲染強化中營造表現出一種詭譎、誘惑、疏離、怪異、恐怖、不確定、令人不安的氣息；瞬間曝光種種黑夜裏城市社會人與人之間令人費解的關係。
緊張與冷靜交織，燈光與黑暗強歡。呼吸著夜的特殊氣息，遊走、感受、尋找那些屬於黑夜的東西，遭遇靈光，有一種要揭開夜幕的慾望，瞇起窺視的目光，攝取獵物般的瞬間，內心憑添了些許激情與快感……
數位相機的高感光為我在黑夜裏拍攝提供了更多可能性和便利性，我通常會憑現場主觀感受或抓拍或擺拍。象控制畫筆、油彩一樣操控相機，一般情況下避之不及的噪點，因産生油畫感而被著意強化，景深、速度、色調、構成；燈光、投影、行人、場景相互交合，讓人感覺既熟悉又陌生，亦真亦幻，再現了一個超出人們視覺經驗的非現實空間，呈現出一種“夜的狀態”、“夜的感受”、“夜的關係”。
受義大利現代繪畫形而上派創始者喬治歐•德•基裏訶繪畫的啟示和影響，他那神秘夢幻的糅合造型思考的靜寂畫面，描繪出謎樣的孤獨空間，如同冥想中的“心像風景”，引燃了我遊走在黑夜的靈感。但形而上繪畫的畫面都是靜止的，我把攝影手段對於運動的表現融入其中，人物的動態瞬間和慢速度曝光産生的晃動、虛影強化了圖像陳述，在著意追求油畫效果以及未來派運動感的同時，又彰現了攝影的“鏡頭語感”，強化了主觀影像輻射傳染。試圖在觀念攝影與傳統攝影之間遊走，尋找社會、自我精神壓抑的釋放口。
黑夜讓人脫去白晝偽裝的外衣，更加裸露出動物本能，是不同於白晝的另一個世界。“夜是一種解放，一種理由，是假面的除去，是慾望的綻開……”（引自顧錚《夜巴黎的闖入者》）
夜遊蕩而來，光影迷離，夜之神秘、夜之恐懼、夜之詭譎、夜之誘惑、夜之慾望、夜之躁動，夜之裸露，夜之遮蓋、夜之惶惶，夜之沉寂……，夜讓你看到在白晝無法看到的……

Night sails in, bringing with it mysterious light and shade. You will be embraced by a totally different world at the moment you step into it. My works is a personal expression toward the night, a feeling of meditation in the pitch darkness, the resonance with the darkness of a city night explorer, and an emotional release from peeping. Photography is a way for me to communicate this very feeling.
Through the dim light cast on ghost-like pedestrians, I intend to create an atmosphere that seems strange, seductive, alienated, frightening, uncertain, and tentative. The perplexing relationships of human beings are exposed as I press the camera button.
Anxiety innterweaves with composure; lamplight flirts with the darkness. Breathing the night air, I wander around searching for those things that only belong to the night. Anytime I encounter the sparkles of inspiration, I feel the impulse of unveiling the curtain of the night. I could feel the excitement and satisfaction at the moment I narrow my eyes to look into the viewfinder like a hunter zeroes in on his game.
The high level of sensitivity of digital camera allows me to photograph in the night. Usually, I would either snap or stage the photographs. I control the camera like using a brush pen. The inevitable grains caused by inadequate lighting during shooting are particularly highlighted for they give an effect of oil paintings. Depth of field, shutter speed, coloration, and composition interplay with the light, shade, and people, making viewers paradoxically feel familiar yet alienated. My works re-present an unrealistic dimension beyond the common visual experience, providing with the state of the night, the feeling toward the night, and relationships in the night.
Inspired by the works of the Italian metaphysical school establisher Giorgio de Chirico, whose dreamy, hushed images in the paintings set up a mysteriously lonely space, I start to conceive the idea of exploring the night. Unlike his motionless paintings, I employ photography techniques including slow speed exposure to present figures in action in an attempt to imitate oil paintings. I try to shuttle between the conceptual photography and traditional photography looking for a way to relief myself from social and personal pressures.
In the darkness of night people return to what they actually are. “The night is liberation. It provides a reason to take off the mask and to show the desire….”The night sails in, bringing with it mysterious light and shade. Night presents you what you will never see in the daytime—the seductiveness, desire, blindness, or weirdness…
