在這期開始之前,我們在此追思藝術家陳順築。
生於1963年的陳順築,其濃烈的家族記憶與原鄉羈愁所轉印建構的複合影像及攝影裝置作品,是當代台灣藝壇重要的標誌與代表。在台北市立美術館正為陳順築舉辦首次個人大型回顧展之際,他卻於2014年10月和我們告別遠行⋯⋯。為了紀念他,我們重新刊載三年前在《攝影之聲》和陳順築的對話,並再收錄藝術家陳界仁與姚瑞中寫給順築的信,以及我們從他1989年至近期的個人札記中,節錄出的隨筆、塗鴉與奇想。他說,藝術就是心裡的事,而我們試著跟隨他的喃喃私語,想像他這一生創作總念念不忘的家。

「攝影是,攝影啊。」攝影就是攝影,作為少數擁有攝影論思想體系的攝影家中平卓馬──在1970年代與攝影家篠山紀信的照片共同於日本《朝日相機》雜誌連載後集結成書的《決鬥寫真論》裡──這樣決斷地陳述。如果攝影是一種修行,中平的攝影論便是「見山又是山」的禪悟 ; 如果攝影是一種決鬥,中平的攝影論對當代攝影而言,無疑是拳拳到肉的擊發。

中平卓馬是日本攝影史的傳奇,他的影像創作與文字書寫,非但風格秀異、獨樹一格,其充滿批判自省的反思性格,與創作生涯不斷地自我否定與復甦重生,更使他成為攝影地景裡「座標型」的重要人物。
Comments closed為什麼觀看「物」? 攝影給予我們一個凝視的機會,將物件從生活的脈絡抽離、放大,使我們對日常物質的注目,建構為一個新的物語。我們的目光在物件裡探索,或在物件裡迴避,似是更為貼近,似又更為疏離。
Comments closedComments closed2011年冬天的一個午後,我和陳順築約好見面,我們在台北長安西路上的一家地下室咖啡館坐了下來,對面的台北當代藝術館正在舉行他的個展。話匣子打開,我們聊到夜幕低垂才離去。這段訪談後來整理並收錄在隔年一月發行的《攝影之聲》第三期裡。
這兩年,陳順築發現自己罹癌,他辭去22年的教學工作專心養病。我們去看他,消瘦的身形卻讓他那雙深邃的雙眼,顯得更加巨大而清亮。他說,病後才更覺察到生命是極其有限的時間,而他或許可以放下很多事,但放不下藝術,關於創作,他還有好多想像,但可惡的時間在與他賽跑⋯⋯
2014年9月,陳順築的最後一個臉書動態,停留在照片裡的一個背影,他站得高高地,獨自面向一片粼粼波光。一個月後,他在夢中遠行,帶著他的鄉愁記憶,去一個更高的地方望海。
我們在已經絕版的雜誌中找出這篇三年多前的對話,並在本期重新刊載;同時收錄藝術家陳界仁與姚瑞中寫給順築的信,以及從他借給我們的自1989年起至近期的數本個人手札中,選錄了一些他的隨筆與塗鴉。他說,這些筆記是一個藝術家天真的私語,有些玩笑,有些認真⋯⋯
謹以此,作為我們對於陳順築的思念。
One winter afternoon in 2011, I met up with Chen Shun-Chu in a Taipei cafe on Chang-an West Road. His solo exhibition was then on-going in the Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei opposite the cafe. We chatted till late in the night. The interview was later published in the 3rd issue of VOP the next year.
Chen learnt about his cancer and quit the teaching profession that he had been in for 22 years. In these two years, he had been trying to fight the illness. We visited him and saw his frame becoming frail; his eyes seemed even deeper and larger as his body became thinner. He expressed that the illness had made him realize all the more that life is extremely short, and that he might not be able to hang on to a lot of things, but not art. He still had a lot of ideas about artistic creations, but time was against him……
His last Facebook status update in Sep 2014 was a photograph of a back shot, looking over the sea from a high fence. A month later, he passed away in his dreams,bringing with him all his memories and love of his motherland, setting off to an even greater height to gaze at the sea.
We extracted this from a conversation that is more than 3 years old which was featured in an out-of-print issue of Voices of Photography – re-published in this issue alongside letters to Chen Shun-Chu from artists Chen Chieh-Jen and Yao Jui-Chung, as well as some of his drawings and words from a huge stack of personal notebooks he’s kept since 1989 which he lent us. He said that these memos were an artist’s dreams: some were jokes, some were serious……
In memory of Chen Shun-Chu.
