Theme: Images Towards Life
Theme explanation:
It must be admitted that in this digital age, a camera+a computer or even a smart phone can create countless "miracles", and the result of the proliferation of images is that we no longer trust the images themselves and replace the awe of photography with a cheap pleasure.
Photography is a combination of half science and half art, and mystery should not be the proper meaning of photography, but at the same time it is foolish to strip off our awe of photography.
With the development of technology and the popularization of equipment, there are more and more photographers and works. Every year, during the Pingyao International Photography Exhibition in China, works of various forms and styles are presented to us.
Since the birth of digital photography, photography has gradually become a kind of "behavior" itself, which has no other significance. The function of "photography" to record history and reflect reality is gradually being replaced by various photos taken by mobile phones, card machines and SLR in the hands of ordinary people. "Photography" has become something for self-entertainment and a business with a complete industrial chain. From equipment to all kinds of "decorations" similar to "line drawing", most of the resources and horizons of the photography industry are gathered, which affects the cognition of ordinary people to "photography".
Photography is becoming a part of ordinary people's daily life, which affects everyone's life more or less. In this case, the image of life will have many meanings:
How photography enters and changes the way we observe and express the world;
How life enters photography and changes the connotation and extension of photography;
What influence does the combination of photography and commercial consumption have on us?
Any kind of culture or art form, on the basis of retaining the original core, realizes its own expansion by constantly and massively absorbing the needs of society and advancing with it.
The image becomes lifelike, which is to some extent a stripping of the mystery of photography. In recent years, more and more exhibitions pursue the visual impact of large format, but forget the spiritual impact that photography should have, turning the image itself into a spectacle and covering up the sensitivity and freshness that the author should have when facing life.
To some extent, "the image towards life" is the echo of the theme of "Return and Transcendence" in the 20 12 exhibition, and even the answer.
