越来越多的摄影人,特别是当下的许多年轻人,在创作中对“简约”的追求渐成风气。也许是因为对中国传统文化潜意识的传承,也许是对纷繁复杂的现实社会的另类表达,抑或是对复杂画面把控的无力。总之,这种欲言又止、尽在不言中的简约画面不断出现在摄影中。这些暂且称为“极简摄影”的作品,与美术史上的“极简主义”并无关联,它在摄影领域也只占有很小的地盘,但却被众多摄影者青睐。如何理解和看待这样的作品,应该成为我们谈论与研究的话题。 More and more photographers, especially many young people nowadays, become accustomed to the pursuit of “simplicity ” in the creation. Perhaps it is because the subconsciousness of traditional Chinese culture may be an alternative expression to the complicated real world or the weakness of controlling complicated pictures. In short, this kind of simple but unspeakable picture continues to appear in photography. These works, which are tentatively called “minimalist photography”, have no connection with “minimalism” in the history of art. They also occupy only a small area in photography but are favored by many photographers. How to understand and treat such works should become our talk and study topic.
