Africa: See You, See Me! Macau Report

Page 1

5 DEZ 2012 - 17 FEB 2013 MACAU ART MUSEUM


Portrays the history of African photography and also its influence on non-African imaginings of Africa and the African diaspora in all their diversity. The exhibition was the result of a proposal made by Lisbon s centre of contemporary arts, AFRICA.CONT to Awam Amkpa, the exhibition s curator, and professor at Tisch School of the Arts at the New York University. After touring New York, Lisbon, Accra, Lagos and Florence, the Macau- Angola Association invited Awam Amkpa to bring the exhibition to Li-Space as part of the Caochangdi PhotoSpring in Beijing. The Macau ‒ Angola Association, believes that it is important to promote a cultural exchange between Africa and China given the today s ever more strong economical relation.

“相看‧相知──影像非洲”((Africa: See You, See Me)攝影展名稱的靈感源自我多年前在尼 日尼亞的公路上,看見的一輛“媽咪卡車”(Mammy Wagons)車身上的繪畫。當時那卡車越 過我駕駛的車輛,飛馳而去,留給我們的只有一雙眼睛,嵌於一幅繪有條紋的非洲地圖中。 它留給我們的視覺印象是:非洲大陸在疾馳的卡車背上前進。那幅輪廓鮮明的地圖上,標示 著 “相看,相知” (See You, See Me)的字句。這玩笑式的語句,把非洲大陸呈現為一項 永無止境的工程,一個走過命途多舛歷史掉進不確定未來的大陸,它在提出質詢:我們身為 非洲人,如何看待自己、想像自己?同時,希望別人如何看待我們?我們怎樣戰勝照片裡那 些具貶義性的非洲人體造型,並創造新的表現方式 —― 同時具藝術性和紀錄性的、引來批 判和讚賞的 —訴說非洲自己作主的故事,表達非洲人有決心,去重新創造我們自己的世界? “相看‧相知──影像非洲”攝影展呈現了非洲的攝影歷史,特別向觀眾展現非洲人表現 自己的不同方式。展出的部分照片呈現了移民在不同城市裡的身份議題,記錄社會大事,為 社會和歷史作象徵性和物質性的詮釋。另一部份的照片,著重以照片作為媒介,透過它們的 顏色、曝光時間、結構、構圖和所採用的光控手法,重新講述非洲和非洲人民的故事。 攝影展分由三部份組成。第一部份展示在照相館裡拍攝的人像作品和非洲人的肖像照,呈現 非洲人民嘗試融入所移居的城市環境。第二部份獻上早期人種志風格的肖像照,這些照片把 非洲幻想成蠻荒之地,相對歐洲而言的原始“非我族類”散居於這片大地之上。第三部份展 示非洲裔以外攝影師的作品,以當代非洲及非洲人民的照片為主。這些攝影師與非洲的攝影 藝術家共用一種語彙,保持對話。正如我在尼日尼亞路上遇見的“媽咪卡車”,第三部分的 照片跟其它部份的作品一同向非洲人民及全世界說聲:讓我們“相看,相知”。
